What does distributor box 2000 ford explorer look like?

A 2000 Ford Explorer's distributor box doesn't exist in the same way that older vehicles had a single distributor. The 2000 Explorer uses a Distributorless Ignition System (DIS). Instead of a single distributor, it has individual ignition coils, one for each cylinder (or a pair of coils for a pair of cylinders). These coils are typically mounted directly on the cylinder head or on a bracket very close to the spark plugs.

There's no large, easily identifiable "distributor box." What you might find is:

* Individual Ignition Coils: These are relatively small, cylindrical components, often black plastic. They'll be near the spark plugs.

* Ignition Control Module (ICM): This is a small electronic control unit that manages the ignition system. It's usually located somewhere under the hood, possibly on the firewall or near the ignition coils, but it's not a large box. It might be attached to a bracket or hidden behind other components.

* Wiring Harness: A complex network of wires connects the ICM to the coils and to the engine control module (ECM).

If you're looking for a specific part, knowing the exact engine (e.g., 4.0L SOHC, 4.0L OHV, V6) will help significantly in identifying the correct components. A repair manual or online parts diagrams for your specific year and engine will be invaluable.
