07 Ford Explorer randomly dies while driving

Asked by Guru1CLXW Sep 05, 2019 at 09:42 AM about the 2007 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My vehicle randomly loses all power. The oil, check
engine, and battery lights come up but when I turn
the vehicle off and back on again the vehicle will
drive perfectly. All the lights will go away, and it's
like nothing happened. I did replace the relay for
the fuel pump, as I have heard this could be the
issue..
