Where is the starter located on a 1999 Ford Explorer?

Answer 1

For safety reasons remove the positive cable from the 1998 Ford Aerostar battery. Remove the cables from the front of the starter. Remove the starter retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new starter.

Answer 2

The under is under the truck, in the middle under the engine. You will you have to bring it to an auto repair because there is a bolt that you can't get to from lying under the truck. The truck needs to be a lift to get to the top bolt. My father's van starter went and he had to bring it to Sears. It is very hard to get to the bolt on the top without having the truck suspended on a lift. just pull the motor cover and its on the passenger side of the engine connected to the trans and engine.

Answer 3

There's one currently on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Starter-Ford-Aerostar-3-0L-1993-100-New-And-Unused_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33576QQihZ006QQitemZ160118204212QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

Or else your local parts store should carry new and rebuilt ones. You can also find them at junk yards fairly easily, any 1992-1997 (IIRC) aerostar's starter should do.
