I have a 2004 Ford Explorer. Possible sensor or fused replacement?

Yesterday out of nowhere, my gas gauge went all the way down past E, my radio completely stopped working (I can't even see the time), and my windows won't go up or down. My check engine light is now also on.
What could be the problem and how much money would it cost me to fix it?

How good are the late 90s Chevy Blazer 4.3 V6 now as daily drivers?

I've been looking around for an SUV I like, and there isn't much out there that takes my fancy, except that model of Chevy Blazer, no idea why. I guess I like American SUVs, dislike the Jeep hype, and don't trust the Ford Explorer (too many rollover deaths in those years). So there, that leaves a ten to 15 year old Blazer. But are those any good now? I can pick them up around Europe around 2.000 to 3.000 Euros in really good shape. Any owners who'd like to share their experience?

Advice on buying a new car? - 1

So here s the deal. Just looking for some advice, preferably from experienced individuals or people who have worked in dealerships before.

I'm looking to buy a Chevrolet Sonic LTZ which is the upgraded version. Now these cars are dirt cheap at 2013 or later but I decided I really like the 2015 model with all the bells and whistles.

I have a really good job and make really good cash, 1500 a check. But I'm also only 19 and have very poor credit.

I can only put about 1000 to 1500 down payment (depending on the value I can get for my 2000 ford explorer sport).

Since this is a new car, I have to go to the make branded Chevrolet dealer and we all know how those sales reps are (pushy pushy pushy).

The car I'm looking at is retailing for $14300, which is affordable for me.

I'm just wondering, since I'm so young and a woman at that, if that s a good deal and what kind of advice I can get for dealing with those reps and getting a good deal. I live on my own so I have to go by myself.

My goal is to not be spot delivered a car (like I have been in the past, and lost $3000 because of that).

96 Explorer won't start after sitting for a few years?

I have a 1996 Ford Explorer, V8, 4.6L. It's been sitting in my driveway for several years because it didn't pass inspection, supposedly due to an EGR valve/regulator and I didn't have the money at the time to fix it. Well I've finally decided to try to sell it and want to at least get it to start. Last summer I put in a new battery and about a gallon of fresh gas and it started right up. Slacked off on starting it regularly so it sat a while longer. I've recently replaced the battery and added a little more fresh gas but it won't start up now. It cranks strong, like it wants to start and all lights come on but it just won't catch. I know this isn't exactly uncommon, but what has me wondering is that the fuel gauge is stuck at full, although I know there's maybe a 1/4 tank or so in it. I don't know if possibly I dislodged some sludge or something when I started it last year that may he possibly screwed up this sensor and clogged a fuel line or something. I'm pretty handy but by no means a mechanic so I'm just tossing out ideas. I did check the fuel pump reset and that seems to be fine, as do all of the fuses. Not really sure where else to go from there. Any help would be appreciated.

Side mirror help for parking?

I have a really hard time parallel parking my ford explorer (parents car) I try as much as I can to adjust the rear view mirror to oarallel park but I'm always maybe 8 but at most 12 inches from the curb. The doors like bubble out or block a lot of the view to where I don't see the curb at all. Any tips or something to adjust my mirrors better or what?
