Some Ford Explorer Sport Trac owners report experiencing issues with their gauges and windows, including intermittent gauge failure that may indicate underlying electrical problems with the instrument cluster. Additionally, some owners find that their power windows do not operate, potentially due to a malfunctioning Window Lock switch on the driver's door master window control. Intermittent power failures affecting the gauges or odometer display can also contribute to these issues. Furthermore, problems with power windows, gas gauge, radio, and interior lights may stem from faulty fuses or relays. Wiring issues, particularly in the driver's door hinge area, have also been noted as a cause of window malfunctions. To effectively address these concerns, owners are advised to check the Window Lock switch, inspect wiring for damage, and examine relevant fuses and relays. If gauge problems persist, a professional inspection of the instrument cluster may be necessary.

The 2010 Ford Explorer Sport-Track with automatic climate control may have a problem with frequent fan speed changes when using the heater or air conditioner. Normally, the fan speed changes only to maintain a selected temperature, but when the fan speed changes frequently and needlessly, there is an issue with the fan speed control unit. The fan speed control unit, sometimes erroneously called the blower motor resister, regulates the speed for the blower motor in order to maintain the temperature set by the driver. When it fails, the fan will run at random settings, and the climate control will be inaccurate. Note: this does not affect the temperature of the air that comes from the vents, it affects the amount of air that comes from the vents. The repair is simple, and quick. The control unit is located behind the glove box in most models, and removal and installation takes only minutes. Also note: this only applies to vehicles with single or dual automatic climate control.
