Can anyone tell me where the Electronic Stability Control Button is on my 2025 Ford Explorer ST?

Hi,
If it is the same as my 2020, press and hold the traction control button and it will turn off stability control too. Press again to turn both back on.
Cheers,
Ron

Welcome to the forum! As stated above, try pressing and holding the Traction Control button for 5-10 seconds.

I appreciate the responses. According to the Owners Manual Traction Control and ESC are separate things with separate buttons. Holding the Traction control down for 15 seconds does turn them both off. The problem is that I have the ESC Off symbol on my console. It is just to the left of the P for Park on the display. It is different from the symbol for traction control off and on which is farther to the left on the display. It took me forever to find the symbol to know what it was. But it keeps lighting up that ESC is off. So I was looking for the separate ESC button to try and turn it back on. The digital Owner's Manual is worthless.

On my vehicle, once you turn the vehicle off and on again (maybe just changing the drive mode will do it) the stability and traction control features are turned back on. If you have stability control turned off all the time there may be an issue with your vehicle. Maybe there is an error code or something silly like high or low tire pressure or another sensor causing a conflict. Sorry that I cannot help you more. Good luck.

I think you are correct. This symbol - indicating that ESC is off - keeps popping up periodically. I have an appointment with the Dealer Friday. I love the new Truck but the electronics are having issued.

My Google Map would not center in Full Screen Mode. It showed be a map of Belarus which was not helpful. And yet it worked fine when on teh home screen and not in full screen mode and the Map in the dash above the steering wheel worked fine.

By the way - what is the screen above the steering wheel. It is a small screen. It has never gone off. I have no idea what it is.
