    Updated FORScan sheet for 2020-24 Ford Explorer (All Trims)

    This is on my to-do list so let me poke around and see what I can find. Chilly AM today and it annoys me that the highest seat heater temp is uncomfortably hot. EDIT: I see the same. Pulling a few as_builts from the Ford website using Explorer VIN's i've found for sale, i don't think temp...

    removing 2nd row seats

    I pulled the middle seat out of my bench for more space. Issue is with the seat belt buckles. When you disconnect them, it causes errors with the seat belt monitoring system so you'll get warnings on the dash. If temporary, don't worry about it. If this is a long term thing, you'll need to...

    Updated FORScan sheet for 2020-24 Ford Explorer (All Trims)

    That might be a mechanical issue, and not necessarily a ForScan setting that needs to be adjusted. I would imagine if there are settings for it, they would be in the HVAC module as that's where the heated seat temps are. My steering wheel gets plenty hot within a min or two and I end up...

    2020-2024 Parking Brake ForScan Options?

    Automatically turning on the parking brake was part of the axle bolt recall. Part of the fix was to replace the bushing and bolt and reprogram the software to kick on the e-brake any time the vehicle was put into park. Since your vehicle doesn't seem to qualify for the recall (according to...

    How-to: Front climate control swap(add 20-21 temp display to 22+)

    Finally got around to doing this on my '23. Bought a used unit on Ebay but should have paid more attention. Didn't realize there was a version with gloss buttons, and one with matte. I'll need to see if i can take the two units apart to just swap the buttons. I have no desire to buy another...

    Updated FORScan sheet for 2020-24 Ford Explorer (All Trims)

    Is there any way to enable the 360 camera feature on the 360 delete credit cars? My '23 has the credit. However, it has the cameras in the mirrors, and in the grill. I see the wiring harness for the grill camera in place and connected. I also see an option in ForScan for "360 camera" enable...

    How-To: Creating your own ST Lighted Cup Holder Harness

    I still haven't worked on this yet myself. I have the cupholder, the LED light harness, and one of the connectors I need. Been meaning to pay a trip to the local junkyard to snip some harness connectors off some wrecked explorers. I'm not paying $90 for a simple plug from Ford. Haven't put...

    2026 Ford Explorer Replaces Vista Roof With Fixed Glass Option

    Has anyone ordered a '26 yet and confirmed that the fixed roof is in addition to the pano sunroof option? Or if the fixed the only option and pano is deleted? (see post 6 comments)

    O2 Sensors?

    It's ridiculous isn't it? Anytime i've parted out a Ford, if I'm not selling the wiring harness complete, i clip all the connectors off. It's crazy what Ford sells them for.

    How-To: Adding Hands Free Liftgate Late '22 and '23 explorer.

    Got around to doing this. Can confirm the $20 modules on eBay with the above part number work. Thanks for the write-up! Hardest part was holding the bumper part back to get that darn T15 bolt out.!

    Broken lower control arm proof - Not spamming

    Long time ago, i had a control arm fail on a car at speed, so a little bit of PTSD from that. I remember when I first became interested in the ST (around 2020-2021) I saw a few posts (on FB) about broken control arms. Cars backing out of the parking space and the arm just snapping. Stuck in...

    Emissions error

    I'd get a Motorcraft valve. Can order one from Tasca Parts. My experience with cheapo purge valves that i installed (not my choice) on other cars is they tend to fail again pretty early.

    Running too cool. Stuck tstat?

    Thanks. That was what I was looking for. Just wanted some additional confirmation that others were seeing the same thing.

    Running too cool. Stuck tstat?

    Well, the pending P0128 hasn't returned. I've discovered that the temp range the car drives at differs depending on if the AC is on or off. AC off, the vehicle runs at 195-205 degrees, although it takes a little time to get up there. Runs near 205 in stop and go traffic, and 195 when...

    Do any allow for an accessory tray on top to be used?

    Running too cool. Stuck tstat?

    Bone stock '23 ST w 26K miles I was alerted to this when I was programming something via ForScan, but it showed a pending DTC for a P0128. Accidentally erased it unfortunately. But decided to monitor coolant temps for a bit and noticed i run consistently 172-177 degrees. Only once did I...

    How to avoid the brittle valve recall test?

    You should see what they do to these engines when they qualify them. Granted...they scrap those when they are done. :(
