#1486 of 2935 cv joints 1990 Mercury Sable by dan29 Mar 19, 2005 (11:22 am)
I'm trying to replace the cv boots on both axles. We have the first c clip slid down the shaft,now how do we get the splined off the shaft? Does it have to be machined off? Do you need to use a slide hammer? Can this be done by a mechanic working in his garage?

#1489 of 2935 engine chirps in 99 taurus by 99taurus1 Mar 23, 2005 (4:05 pm)
I have a 99 taurus, V-6 3.0 engine. Was just wondering if anyone else who has this car has encountered a sort of chirping noise that sounds like is coming from somewhere in or just outside the engine. The chirp comes and goes and is sometimes more noticeable than other times. It does it when ever it wants it seems, and stops most of the time when the car is warmed up. At first the chirp would speed up with acceleration (in any gear including neutral) and now it seems to dissipate with acceleration. It has nothing to do with the serpentine belt system either since it still does it with the belt off the car.

#1490 of 2935 Opened door by dhabbott41 Mar 23, 2005 (7:59 pm)
I have a 96 Tauraus. The symbol on the dash for an opened door is on. There are no opened doors. The interior lights remain on at all times. Any idea as to what the problem is? Replies to this message: alcan (Mar 24, 2005 4:18 am) panther32 (Apr 04, 2005 7:58 am)

Replying to: dhabbott41 (Mar 23, 2005 7:59 pm) The door ajar switches are in the door latches. The grease hardens over time and holds the switches open. Left front is most common. Open the doors and spray the bejeepers out of the latches with WD40 or equivalent. Might take a few minutes to work.

Replying to: 99taurus1 (Mar 23, 2005 4:05 pm) If it's the Vulcan 3.0, it may be the cam sync sensor failing. They make a noise similar to what you're describing. The part is cheap but they're difficult to replace.

Replying to: timothyf (Mar 19, 2005 7:45 am) I would also recommend to run some "Auto-Rx" thru it. Go to bobistheoilguy.com and read up on this product and about oil. It works great.   Like your doing, just change all of the fluids every two years or 30K.

Replying to: gwizz (May 11, 2003 5:57 pm) You can find the code in the glove box or you can find the code on the tunk lid it is usely on the left arm of the trunk some times it might be on the back of the trunk. There is also in the trunk of the car be hid the plastic panel hidding the wires to the car up aginst the back seat a little box that has the 5 digit number. I hope you are able to find it now

Replying to: wijoco (Mar 24, 2005 9:07 am) Chirp or no !   I would check the simple (and more probable) things first. My guess is that it is one of the rotating assemblies attached to the motor. In other words maybe the bearing in the water pump/alternator/smog pump/AC/power steering pump is going and is the cause of your chirp. The fact that it goes up with acceleration is the best indicator.   As the bearing wears more, the noise will become more and more obvious.   The cheap fix is just to turn the radio up !
