Hello Roswell , Check the u-joints on the front axles.

the vehicle in the picture i believe is a 1998 -2000 if so ford used the 4.0L not the sohc motor . i just got rid of my 1998 explorier sport 2 door and spent the good part of my life as a mechanic for Ford Motor Company double check the year if you have 1998 to 2001 it is going to be the 4.0L

unhook the hose at the rear wiper,test, maybe the nozzle is plugged, or hose bent.

Attached is the wiring diagram showing pump and sending unit

From your description it sounds like the motor is drawing too many amps and a circuit breaker is opening (to protect the motor). That could be from one of two things: a failing motor or a bad set of gears or some other hindrance that is causing the motor to work too hard. Auto circuit breakers generally reset themselves after everything cools down. Since it happened on more than one window it could also be that the circuit breakers are getting old and less reliable meaning that they will continue to fail more often. The symptoms do not suggest a broken wire

hi, as far as i can remember its impossible to do the work without removing the whole lot as you just have not got enough room to get the tools in to get the job done, you could contact your nearest main dealers technical department but im pretty sure that the last one we did here we had to take the whole lot out as we could not get the tools in as their just isnt enough room they build these engine big enough to fill the engine bay leaving you no room to carry out these type of repairs so taking the engine out is the only way your going to get this work carried out.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok.

Make sure you purchase a workshop manual as this will give you all the correct settings your going to need ok

look on the passenger side footwell just above the carpet....

It would probably be cheaper and easier to buy a new one

Replace the switch

Fuel Reset The FUEL RESET indicator is grounded through the inertia switch whenever the vehicle is subjected to a high force situation. The inertia fuel shutoff switch (IFS switch) (9341) cuts off the fuel pump motor. The FUEL RESET indicator illuminates when the IFS switch has been tripped

Hey Carlos , does your vehicle run ? Fuel Reset The FUEL RESET indicator is grounded through the inertia switch whenever the vehicle is subjected to a high force situation. The inertia fuel shutoff switch (IFS switch) (9341) cuts off the fuel pump motor. The FUEL RESET indicator illuminates when the IFS switch has been tripped.

Bad door switch, or it may be dirty and "stuck" in the recessed position as it would be when the door is closed. I find WD-40 or equal is a good solution for this. Otherwise the switch's connections are bad (corrosion) or the switch itself is bad. More extreme is a break in the wiring to the switch and or connection near the fuse.

no first check the fuse/s for the radio & power amp if equipped you can download your owners manual by Google search at 1998 ford explore owners manual on to your phone/computer then go to roadside emergencies and the fuse box diagram/power distribution box fuse diagrams are there now after checking the fuse's if all are good the push button switch that turns on the radio may have gone bad even if you here it click when you push it in it could still be bad if you don't here the click then it's a definite on/off switch problem anyway take out the radio and take off the top cover to get to the switch it may have a broken wire that's causing the problem in any event you'll have to go to an electronics alarm radio store or the dealer for the switch I couldn't find a picture for you but if you have a u pull it yard near you take the switch or the whole radio if you want don't waste your time at radio shack or any other store like them they won't have it

You can't turn it on by the switch on the radio ? Nothing showing on the radio display ? If not check these fuses Blown central junction box (CJB) Fuse 1 (7.5A), Fuse 20 (7.5A), Fuse 28 (7.5A), and Fuse 29 (25A) . The switch on the steering wheel should not stop the radio from being turned on at the radio !

sounds like the fuel pressure release valve might be sticking.try checking for low pressure when you start up.
