2002 Ford Explorer door problem?
My mother's 2002 Ford Explorer (4 door) started acting funny a while back. At first, the rear driver's side window stopped working. Thankfully, it was in the up position. Since she never used it, she said it didn't matter. Then, the alarm would go off randomly, when she locked it and left it. No one was around and no one could find the cause. She just stopped locking it. Then, a month ago, the rear driver's side door "jammed" shut. OK, still no problem. It was when the alarm started going off and the doors started locking and unlocking, in motion, that she started to complain seriously. In fact, it go so bad that her trip to town was nothing but the alarm (dinging about every second) going off. You couldn't hear the radio or anything else because it was so loud. There was no way to stop it and the shop was closed.So, I decided to take a look at it. Since the door was part of the problem, I decided to try and get it open and look at it. However, the door looked fine. The handles worked, no clips missing, no springs, nada. I could find no reason for the door to be jammed shut. No dents, rust, or anything. It looked perfect. The action clicked from all door remote units.
I used the OBDIII to check for problems and nothing. But, it was fixed.
So, any idea why this happened? I actually did nothing to fix this. Who knows, maybe this will help someone else with the same problem, even if I don't get an answer. LOL.
It is a 12 year old Ford, what do you expect.
- Car acceleration problem and idle problem. The car is a 2003 Ford Taurus? . When the car is running and in parked its making a loud consisted rev noise. However the rpm needle thingy is not moving. when i'm in drive the car acclerates on its own with the speed ever increasing. i did some googling and learned that it can be the TPS sensor or the idle air intake valve, among a million other possiblities.

- Had my ford transit broken into, door peeled in half, what would people recommend, van alarm or deadlocks and door strengthening? My van door was peeled in Half from top to bottom and cleared of everything inside. I'm thinking of getting an alarm that will go off if van is shaken or movement inside but I think this might be too late and the door damage done. Would I be better off getting visual locks for thief's to see then have my door reinforced inside out by my friend who's a welder.
