Radio display
Ford Explorer 2006 255000 miles
The radio works but not the display. 3 fuses listed with "radio". What does each fuse control? Also, owner's manual says fuse block is on left side and below steering column. There's nothing there.

This happened to a friend. It was a bad fuse under the hood. Not the fuse box inside vehicle...the one by the battery.
Same thing. I installed A different radio Thursday and then Friday morning my car would not start and I’m having the same issue I have a brand new battery and a brand new ignition switch and the starter was fine I had that tested and still nothing

I have a 2003 explorer xls. Just replaced the terminals, battery and alternator and it was working fine til I got home from taking my mother out for her birthday dinner...went to start it and the lights come on but as soon as I put the key in the acc position it showed all sorts of warning lights then I cranked it over and poof the whole thing went dark, had to take the battery out to charge and waited 14hrs (trickle charge on a 12V charger) and did the same thing! I checked fuses and every relay under the hood and in the passenger compartment but nothing was evident so can anyone give me any ideas?? Please I'm desperate, my vehicle is my life line and without it I feel stuck...

I drove to work and turned off my truck to listen to the radio before I went in. I went to start my truck up to roll the windows up before I went in only there was no crank and no start without any clicking from low battery which has been tested or starter trying to turn. I went to make sure it was in part and as I pulled the key out of the ignition the instrument fell out on the dash stay on. Not only that the key will come out in any position you put it in the ignition along with whichever gear Up place it in. It's an automatic by the way. Anyway I had to go into work so I went to undo the b… Read complete

It was a broken actuator in the ignition column. It's a flimsy piece of plastic and I can only find crappy plastic replacement parts for it. If anyone has ever had this issue and found an aftermarket replacement part that is metal let me know.

It was a broken actuator in the ignition column. It's just a flimsy piece of plastic that I can only find in PLASTIC of course. If anyone knows where I can get a metal one that works from some aftermarket parts distributor let me know. Thanks and I hope that this helps a lot of people. It seems to be such a big issue that Ford Motor Company should've issued a recall on this type of problem. I have seen hundreds upon hundreds of forums and videos with people who have had this same issue in several Ford vehicles leaving people stranded and some with the steering wheel locking while driving!
CommentStarted with turn Signals
Ford Explorer 1999 Automatic 4WD, 3.9l v-6 205000 miles
It started with the turn signals I change the fuse for the turn signals three times within 2 days. Then all of sudden the hazards and turn signals weren't working but the fuse was fine. I tried looking stuff up on the internet at that moment and seemed mentioning of I believe it's called the hazard relay but it's under the dash directly above the OBD2 hook up. So I unplugged it, took it off took it into AutoZone to see if they had a new part and I was just going to buy a brand new relay to to replace it. But they didn't have one so I took the old one back out plug it back up and all of a sudde… Read complete

My guess would be a bad ground to the dash panel somewhere, or a damaged wire that is grounding intermittently. Also try a new flasher unit.
