'01 Sport trac Blinker, Lock, and oil guage problem
I've got a 2001 Explorer Sport Trac.
The driver's side rear light does not work when blinking/braking/hazards/running light but does work when locking with the keyless entry (it flashes normally). The front one blinks extra fast as well. I've changed the bulb many times and checked the connector, but can't find anything wrong with it.
My driver's side door will not unlock sometimes with the keyless entry/keypad/interior lock latch/and key. I have to press the keyless entry button very quickly to eventually get it open. The knob would only lift slightly and then go back in. I try to unlock it from the inside, but the latch wouldn't budge at all. It seems to happen most often when I lock the door buy pushing manually on the knob when I get out. Sometimes it will have the problem when I lock it with the keyless as well.
When I turn on my truck in the morning the oil guage will read low, untill I've driven about 3/4 mile and then it will snap up to the normal range.
