My wife's 1994 Explorer XLT 8-cylinder is starting to get a little long in the tooth apparently. It recently clicked over the 150K mile when multiple things simply gave up their collective ghosts.
First was the fuel pump -- right _after_ I filled the tank. 17 gallons of premium unleaded down the tube.
Then there was the mysterious leak of radiator fluid that puddled under the middle of the chassis nightly. The mechanic was lucky enough to see the crack in the radiator from the return intake. When the engine was warmed up, it allowed the crack to open and a few drops would escape (not a massive leak) and these would travel like an animator's dream down the frame to the middle of the vehicle and exit onto the ground. The first guess was her water pump but Lady Luck was with us here.
Then the rear passenger window detached itself from the runner guide and we were forced to replace the entire mechanism, bushings and all.
Lately another part -- or parts -- have stopped working; the auto-locks on two of the five doors (hatchback being one of the non-operating offenders.) The driver's door is also no working and requires manually setting the lock and using the key to open said lock (since the keychain alarm won't unlock it.)
Is there a way of resetting the locks, hopefully purging the problem, or might there be some wires that have come loose or are the other doors doomed to failure sooner versus later?
Thanks for any ideas.
