    Cruise Control Switch Broken Off

    Didn't want to spend to replace a switch that was still working. Didn't want to remove the air bag. These cruise switches have plastic tabs that break off and leave them hanging by the harness. A little L bracket, a small screw, and some epoxy made it nice and tight. A very small amount of...

    Engine Cutting Off

    Within the past 18 months my 2002 has cut off three times. The first time I was turning into a parking lot. The second time (about nine months later) I was just cruising along at about 45 mph. Then I drove from Arizona to east coast with regular trips out there then back to Arizona totaling...

    Great Cross Country Adventure

    RE: Check Engine Light

    Along this line as many here already know the DPFE sensor is also a common problem with this motor. The code is 401/402. The check engine light will stay on till its replaced. (or some have had success cleaning it out ?) The shop I use said they could repair the problem and reset code for $145...

    FYI TO ALL ST Owners

    I have a Haulmark 8 X 5 enclosed trailer. I have pulled it all over locally with my 2002 ST and also across country 2400 miles and never had a problem with handling. I recently moved across town and checked on a slightly larger trailer rental with U-Haul to cut down on the trips. Seems they...

    Seat Recline

    On my 2002 the driver and passenger seat recline is very minimal. There is room for the seats to go way back and touch the rear passenger seat for support. I have had several vehicles that did just that. Could there be some reason why the sport trac seats are limited like this. Before I go...

    2002 2wd Front wheel bearings and rotor

    I have 112,000 miles on my 2002 2wd sport trac. My rotors are slightly warped causing minor vibration in steering wheel when braking. Even though the rotors have never been turned I will probably go with new rotors. There is only a slight play in bearings when I grasp the wheel at top and...

    Brake fluid, Power Steering fluid, change

    Brake fluid can get old and eventually cause brake pedal fade in a high mileage vehicle. I found that out once on an older used vehicle. I figured a good brake bleeding would fix the problem but it didn't. I then opened the bleeders pumped it all out, added new fluid and did bleeding operation...

    Cross Country Drive

    My 2002 sport trac is a 2wd with 111,000 miles I have had it since new. Always did regular oil changes and have never had a problem till 2011. First the check engine light was on and I got a code 401/402. Snapped on a new DPFE Sensor ($49.00) in 10 minutes and the light went out the next day...

    2002 2WD differential

    Hi, I have a 2002 ford explorer sport trac and have read over 100 complaints involving the differential failures on the 2002 explorer. I am wondering if I have the same rear end on the sport trac. If so I am thinking I need to replace the oil with some synthetic 80 w 140 and 4 oz. of friction...
