I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD SINCE I PURCHASED MY EXPLORER. SINCE NOVEMBER OF 1992, I HAVE HAD 3 BATTERIES SHORT OUT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY CABLE HARNESS (IF WAS FRIED). I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE A/C, HEATER BLOWER SWITCH ALONG WITH A FUSE BOX THAT TIES INTO THIS SYSTEM. WHEN THE TRUCK IS RUNNING ALL OF THE LIGHTS FLICKER AND NOTICE THE ALTENATOR GAUGE FLUXUATING. WHEN REVIEWING THIS SITE, I NOTICED THE NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE EXPLORER, ALONG WITH THE NUMBER OF FIRES. I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF I SHOULD BE CONCERNED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM.*AK
