#2704 of 3244 Cd Player by jsylvester Sep 17, 2005 (6:09 pm)
The interior entertainment system was not dual media because prior to 2003 model year, the climate control ductwork limited the space. That was redesigned as part of the 03 makeover.   On a price for an 05 GM, local dealer is offering $800 UNDER employee plan pricing, so I'd shoot for that as my first offer.
#2705 of 3244 Just use "tune"... by turbo301 Sep 18, 2005 (6:53 am)
Replying to: marsha7 (Sep 17, 2005 5:20 pm) I decided to get to the bottom of this CD player issue using every fibre of my engineering sense: I just sat in the cockpit and pushed every button on the radio until something happened LOL! As it turns out, Ford will not be requiring a sacrifice: hitting the forward "tune" direction button advances you to the next disc.
#2706 of 3244 A couple of questions by charthepirate Sep 20, 2005 (9:32 am)
Hey all, I have a couple of issues with my Mercury GM, 94 V8 4.8 Liter. At about 75k miles I started to get the engine knocks, I took it into the shop, and they told me it was the EGR valves. They cleaned the EGR valves and replaced a couple of things and returned the car. 2 Days later the knocks came back. Does anyone know any possible issues here that may be re causing the knocking, or did the shop just do a poor job with the repairs?   My second question, I was recently rear ended, and was deemed not at fault. The car already has some other damages from a drunk driver who struck the car while parked. Now I'm debating whether it's worth it to replace the bumper. Her insurance cut me a check for the bumper, so it's my choice. The bumper damage is paint damage and one large crack on the right side that makes it somewhat flimsy. Any advice? Thanks everyone.   Char Replies to this message: euphonium (Sep 20, 2005 2:09 pm) charthepirate (Sep 21, 2005 3:24 pm) mrlauderdale (Aug 30, 2007 5:56 am) ronslakie1 (Aug 31, 2007 4:13 am) mrlauderdale (Aug 31, 2007 4:26 am) and 1 more...
#2707 of 3244 94 merc by matchbox Sep 20, 2005 (1:56 pm)
Only thing I can tell you about the EGR valve is that I had a mustang that the valve knocked on no matter how many I put in. Wouldn't worry if your sure it's not piston knock or lifters. Take the doe. Book value on a 94 merc with previous damage will be in the "beater" catagory. Only offer on my 01 crown after 2 weeks in the paper was $4600.00. So I kept it.

Replying to: charthepirate (Sep 20, 2005 9:32 am) As it is difficult to sell a flimsy bumpered car, you will have to repair it before it is in saleable condition so you might just as well get the use of a decent looking bumper now and enjoy a better looking car.   As for the engine knocks, it may be that the mass air sensor needs replacing, however, if you are not losing acceleration power try a tankful of Premium gas.   If it still knocks on Premium, it isn't the quality of fuel, but something else.

#2709 of 3244 94 Grand Marquis. by jsylvester Sep 21, 2005 (3:23 pm)
My 94 Grand Marquis with 118,000 miles is only worth about $1,500 tops, and everything works on it, and it runs great.   Engine knock on a car that old could be anything, since you don't know the maintenance done in the past. It is 12 years old now.

Replying to: euphonium (Sep 20, 2005 2:09 pm) Thanks both of you. The mechanic advnanced the timings on the engine and put in some octane booster. I'll call the autobody shop to get a quote on that bumper.   Char

THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU...   It worked...I made sure to make good contact with the tune button, and, lo and behold, the CD changed from Disc 2 to Disc 3...you are a genius, somewhere along the lines of Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler, and Mr. Daimler...   I owe you one choc chip cookie...   Bob Replies to this message: turbo301 (Sep 23, 2005 3:00 pm)

Replying to: marsha7 (Sep 23, 2005 5:52 am) LOL! No problem, and your dogs are safe ^_^. Now, if only Ford would put information like that in the owner's manual, it would be very helpful to everyone else (I can't believe that we're the only two to have this problem). Oh well, it makes it an adventure - go exploring in your own car
