Explorer Eddie Bauer 3.6L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,189 miles

The battery went dead one day and I charged it back up and since the keyless entry pad as well as the remote entry quit working. I had the battery checked and it was fine and I checked the manual for a possible bad fuse but apparently there is not a fuse for that. an annoying problem that will be too much to fix.

This vehicle's exterior keyless entry has never worked. The dealership said to fix it I would have to come up with 600.00. Yea right.

Explorer XLT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

The 1/2 button suddenly quit working. It was like 8am on a Saturday morning. I had taken my son to tball practice and purposefully locked my keys in the Explorer so I wouldn't lose them. I ended up having to call and wake the wife up so her and my daughter could come and open it up for me.
