The high level CV's have the same insulation as the GM does. Finding a high level CV (the LX or LX Sport) is the rub....
 
Drive both, then decide. After all, you are the one who will be living with the car!

I thought this was the case....I just forgot about the base model CV. When I drove an LX Sport last weekend, I was surprised at how quite it was. Several years ago I drove an LX and I recall it being about the same. The base model must be slightly less comfortable and noisey.

Hi and welcome - I just want to point out that posting your email address is a very bad idea. If you want registered Forums members to have it, all you have to do is make it public in your profile.
 
When you post it, you make it available to all kinds of automated email address collectors (spambots, etc.) that are crawling the web to harvest addresses for any number of malicious purposes. These automated things cannot get to it in your profile since someone has to be a legitimate, registered, logged-in member to see it there.
 
You can repost your message without the address and I can delete the one with the address in it, if you'd like. Drop me an email and I'll take care of it. Uh, just see my, um, profile for my address!
 
Again, welcome!

I also have a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria (mine's a police interceptor model) with 88,000 miles on it. It has the exact same problem. I have not replaced the LCM because the only place I've found one was at the dealer for $350.
  
Let me repeat - you have described my problem to the letter. I am in the process of replacing the MFS (multi-function switch) a fancy name for the turn signal switch (cost $55 at AutoZone). I read in another forum that this could also cause the problem. I'll let you know if it works.
  
Also can you tell me if you were able to find an LCM from other than a dealer and how much you paid (if you don't mind me asking). Any help would be appreciated.

Message deleted. Email me if you have further logistical questions - we don't want to derail the discussion.
 
Welcome!! It will be interesting to see if replacing your MFS takes care of the issue. Let us know.

Ford has agreed to settle lawsuits filed agaist it due to cracking intake manifolds on certain 1996-2001 4.6L engines. The engines are found in: Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town Car, Mustang, Cougar and Thunderbird models. The settlement could impact over 2 million vehicles and cost Ford up to $375 million USD.
  
The plastic intake manifolds Ford used were plastic and were nortorious for cracking, thus causing coolant leaks.
  
The terms of the settle include:
  
• Ford will reimburse customers with receipts for the intake repair.
• Ford will pay $735.00 to those without receipts, provided that they can verify with a dealership that a repair was made.
• Ford will extend the warranty coverage for customers whose intakes have not failed.
  
Ford lost an appeal earlier in the year to have the case dismissed.

Check Engine Light, How to Diagnose by ksjo30
Jun 19, 2005 (6:07 pm)

My 02 GM with 53K just activated the CE light tonight. Is there anyway to determine what went haywire without making an appointment at a repair facility and spending 80.00 for the diagnosis?
 
Should I be concerned, or can I let this go an few days?
 
I read somewhere that some parts stores will do a free/low cost while you wait scan , hoping of course that you'll buy the parts from them.
 
Again the car seems to be running fine and this light just poped on and stayed on as we started the car.
 
Any help would be appreciated
