    Locking gas cap/plug source?

    As yet I have been unable to find one. There WAS one for the last gen Explorers and I purchased it as a test but it does NOT fit whatsoever and cannot be modified to do so. To this day I have not found one from Ford or in the aftermarket.

    fuel mileage

    2020 running 87 octane since day one, average tank is around 20.5mpg for me with a 75/25 highway/city mix, but if I do almost all highway I probably see around 23ish.

    Oil life meter

    Mine always goes from about 98% to 0% then back to 98 or 97% within the first week after an oil change. Some weird glitch.

    Hands-Free Foot activated Lift Gate

    Wonder if there’s a single chip in a module somewhere that they saved but all the other hardware remained

    Hands-Free Foot activated Lift Gate

    All I know for sure is where the control module is, BUT there is an antenna wire that runs a loop that creates an electrical field that, when you wave your foot under it, becomes disrupted and activates the liftgate to open - sort of like how the sensors in the road for traffic lights work. Or...

    Drivetrain Fluids Change

    This review vid from a few years ago has a brief view of the undercarriage and you can see the service plugs for the rear diff and the drain for the t-case, and you can see the plastic tranny pan. Undercarriage starts around 11:30.

    Drivetrain Fluids Change

    I believe both axles have drain plugs and fill plugs, and so does the transfer case, although I recall I could not find the fill point on the transfer case during my brief inspection underneath. I might just have been being stupid and missed The rear diff drain plug is quite accessible on the...

    Got a call today

    Good luck, I’ve had the recall done two or three times and the problem persists. After the most recent update even the front camera goes blue screen lol.

    Shutter while accelerating in a turn 4WD

    I get a slight clunking noise on full lock left turns under light acceleration (ie doing a u-ey in an intersection). It sounds like a CV joint to me, but also I don’t know if it could be the 4WD attempting to engage since the front end would be getting some power under acceleration. Something...

    Headlights turn on while parked at night

    It’s done it to me two or three times - I go outside, cycle the key on and off, cycle the headlight switch between a few settings and back to auto, seems to fix it.

    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    Ah, how time flies. I keep wondering what happened to my shiny brand new Exploder with 3km on the clock lol. Definitely been a good commuter car - eats up the highway km’s.

    Parking brake automatically engages

    No fix without tuning it out, which I’m sure can be done. But last I checked, the parking brake releases automatically as soon as you apply throttle, so it’s not that big a deal.

    Help with indicator light for heat/ac power

    There is no light for the upper/lower/bi-level button. That just opens the menu for you to select where you want your air to flow. There’s no light for the power button either - at least not in my 2020. It’s extremely evident when the climate control is turned off or on, so I guess they figure...

    Weird rear power window problem

    Curious if anybody else has had this issue. I’ve done a little searching on here but not seeing anything obvious. About five weeks ago, I used the master button to open my right rear power window about halfway…suddenly it went all the way down on its own even after I let off the button, and...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    In a way yes, but really cars have been equipped with failsafes for years. The parking brake, aka emergency brake, operated separately from the foot brakes being one of them - the car’s ability to go into a “limp home” mode if something fucks up and the computer can’t properly regulate the...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    More to the point, it’s because if the bolt snaps, the axle can twist and the driveshaft can become separated from the axle, and then since the axle/wheels would have no connection to the transmission, the car could roll away while in park, potentially killing or crushing the living shit out of...
