What battery size does a 2018 Ford Explorer require? I need to replace the battery, and I want to make sure I get the right size to avoid any issues.

Is the engine in a 2017 Ford Explorer reliable? I’m thinking about buying a used 2017 model, but I’ve heard mixed opinions about the EcoBoost engines. For those who have owned this year’s Explorer, how has the engine performed over time? Are there any common issues I should watch out for before making a purchase?

If your Ford Explorer’s climate control system isn’t working correctly, performing a reset might solve the issue. Here’s a simple guide to help you reset the system:

1.     Turn Off the Engine: Start by turning off the engine and removing the key from the ignition.
   
2.     Turn the Ignition On: Insert the key and turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine. This powers the vehicle's systems without running the engine.
   
3.     Press and Hold Climate Control Buttons: Locate the climate control buttons on your dashboard. Depending on your model, you may need to press and hold a combination of buttons, such as the A/C and recirculation buttons, for about 10-15 seconds. Refer to your owner’s manual for the exact combination required for your specific model.
   
4.     Wait for the Reset: The system may take a few moments to reset. You may notice the climate control screen flickering or the air vents adjusting during the reset process.'
   
5.     Test the System: Once the reset is complete, test the climate control system by adjusting the temperature and fan speed. Ensure that the system is responding correctly and that any previous issues are resolved.
