    I'm considering buying my brother's 2002 Explorer....and it has this issue. Did anyone figure out what this was and if so....how much did it cost to fix it? Thanks!

    I have the same problem with my 2003 Explorer. The thumping noise seems linked the AC/Heating System. When the AC/heat is off then the thumping sound is faint and keeps to the beat of a turn signal. When the air flow is increased the thumping sound grows. I wish I new what is causing the noise...it's driving me crazy.

    found the issue is with the blend door motor. it won't shut off. there is a continuing problem with this, as I've noticed from other sites. looks like the part is around $90 US (after taxes). so could be $400 Canadian (not likely.... closer to $100). total repair seems to be in the $400-800 range. hope this helps.
