High temp low oil 2003 ford explorer - 2003 Ford Explorer

I would seem that for some reason you have no oil pressure. Which would cause the low oil light and the high temp indicator to activate. Does the engine have the correct amount of engine oil in it?

Could have been a temporary oil delivery blockage.
i have seen the tube from the oil pan get clogged
I saved one engine and and lost a few around this age
do you do your oil changes?

low oil pressure;
It could be the wrong oil!
your oil pump is worn out
engine overheating can cause the oil light
clogged oil filter
clogged oil strainer
bad gauge

engine over heating;
low coolant
drivebelt bad or needs adjusting
radiator core blocked
thermostat faulty
cooling fan not working
coolant expansion tank cap not holding pressure
water pump defective
wrong oil
inaccurate temperature gauge

have the car scanned at the parts store soon and repost or comment
GoodLuck!!!

DRAIN OIL FROM THE LOWEST LOCATION WHEN POSSIBLE TO GET MOST CONTAMINATED OIL OUT OF SYSTEM THE SIDE ONE WOULD PROBABLY BE FOR OIL TEMP OR OIL HEATER

low oil level will make your car heats up. Check the oil level and make sure there is no leaks. Good luck

wow take it back to dealer. it sounds like its been drove hard and put away wet and thats not good at all.

you could have a weak oil pump

Your oil pressure guage won't work unless the engne is running.

As with all electrical problems, they are VERY hard to solve wihtout the vehicle being in front of me.

It could be your starter, your stater connections, your ignition switch, or, or, or

Your best bet is to call your local dealer and ask for an appointment to have them search out your problem, they have all the right tools to do that.

There's no way to even guess at electrical problems without your car in front of me.

I hope this helps some.

The computer in your explorer, will not let your truck , because of a blown head gasket or bad seals you need to have it fixed or get a different truck.

could be low fuel , low coolant temp , high coolant temp , low oil pressure , low voltage , high voltage , have a mechanic put a scanner on it make sure all is normal , might have false warning
