The car is driveable as it is but I want the 4x4. I have taken it to two different Ford dealers to reprogram the ABS module and they are unable to clear the VIN out of it and they even called the Ford motor tech hotline and they are saying too bad so sad we don't support that vehicle because it is too old. But after installing the unit (which fixed the problem) I am now getting a mismatched VIN code that also disables the ABS and the 4x4. So I found a compatible unit from a salvage vehicle and confirmed that it would work with the local Ford dealer. Here's the thing, I had to replace the ABS module on it and they are discontinued.
All - I need your help.I have an '04 Ford Explorer that is in really nice shape and I would like to keep it for another couple of years.
