Welcome to FordTrucks.com! We are the Internet's Premiere Resource for all things Ford Truck and SUV related!


We are happy to have you! There is a ton of great info on this site. But, before you go snooping around there are a few things you need to do first.

1) Want to meet or talk to other members in your area? There are Provincial, State and International Chapters located near the bottom of the main forum page. Look around them and you may find locals with the same hobbies as you.

2) Before you post a thread asking a question be especially aware of where (what forum) to place it in. FTE is HUGE! Make sure you read the Read First: at the top of the forum before you go posting.
Thread moved to the Explorer forum.

I think you're right. In my 97 Sport, open the drivers side compartment in the cargo area, that module is just inside and forward, you might need a mirror or a light, the factory code is on a sticker on that module. Right above this post theres a stickey with helpful links peruse that when u get a chance.
