Light configuration on a 1992 Ford CV by eric25

Dear Forum Members,
 
I am trying to figure out how the lights work on a 1992 Ford Crown Vic and I appreciate any owner/knowledgeable person to help me. It is my understanding that there is no daytime running light on a 1992 Ford CV for US market. Also, it is possible to turn on the headlamp (low or high beams) with the contact in the on position, however, the park lights will not come on with the contact in the on position. Am I correct?
 
I appreciate any help,
 
Regards,
 
Eric

Can anyone give me some good recommendations for 225/60/16 tires for a 2001 Marquis? I want smoooooth and quiet. The car came with Goodyear LS which are getting noisy and harsh. Thanks.

Goodyear ComforTreds or TripleTreds, depending on the need for snow traction.
 
ComforTreds are designs for comfort, TripleTreds for better traction.

I really like the Michelin Energy LX4s on my CV. They strike me as a nice balance between handling and ride comfort. I have Cooper Lifeliner IIs on my '85, but I have not been impressed with their wear.

Michelin X1 has been on our 94 Town Car for over 60k miles with lots of tread left.
We take it skiing and in the snow it will go. Rides well and is quiet, but not cheap.

Michelin!! I have the XH4 (I think that's what they are without being close enough to look right now) on my 94 GM. This baby has almost 203k miles and has never had anything but Michelins. I love them -- they are smooth and quiet (which is highly important to me, too) and wear extremely well. Not cheap, but well worth the price. I also requested Michelins on my brand new Camry that I got in June.

I have a 94 GM with 203k miles. Just had the third power window fixed. One left to go. I'm just waiting for it to fail, too. Not a cheap fix. This last one -- motor and regulator -- cost me $429. The other two were just regulator failures, they were a lot cheaper. I sure hope all the windows keep working until I decide to get rid of the car.

I've learned the life of the little power window motors can be extended by closing the doors gently.
 
The insecure "macho men" non verbally assert their "masculinity" by slaming car doors, talking loud, & insist on riding in the right front. However, when I have to put up with these types they are reminded to close the door gently and the Right front seat is reserved for my wife!

Your Opinion? by euphonium

1995, 91,000 miles, 4.6 V8, original plugs, wires, 02 sensor, & fuel filter.
 
Suddenly engine running rough, lCheck Engine light and low fuel light on, so filled the tank.
 
Check Engine light stayed on.
 
Monday morning it was in the Ford shop. 4.4 hours later it was repaired by replacing the original plugs, wires, 02 sensor and fuel filter and running a can of injector cleaner through. $742 bill of which $396 = labor. Check Engine light is out.
 
How could all of the above captioned parts need replacement at the same time?
 
I'm thinking just sediment in the bottom of the tank could have plugged the injectors, but the plugs, wires, & oxygen sensor were replaced too as though it were SOP. These parts were fine until almost out of gas. 16.7 gallons filled it.
 
Your opinion on the above process is appreciated.

all heat by peachmon

my 96 MGM has electronic climate control. No matter at what setting I set the temperature I get only heat. It will switch from heat to defrost , heat/defrost, vent but I can put the setting to 15 degrees c and I only get heat. The mechanic says that one of the Doors that mixes the heat and cold could be stuck. He says that sometimes that the door hinges get stuck. Also behind the glove compartment there are some electronic controllers and he thinks that they may be defective.Is there an error code that I should get for this type of problem. Also where is this mixing door located that he is talking about?
