#63 of 122 tosk by euphonium Dec 24, 2007 (11:18 am)
I had the intake manifold replaced ($1100) because it was leaking all over the place.   I hope the intake manifold replacement was courtesy of Ford as a result of their TSB recall a few years ago. Replies to this message: tosk (Dec 24, 2007 11:30 am)

Replying to: euphonium (Dec 24, 2007 11:18 am) No, ford did not pay, even though the car only had 71,000 miles, the recall program expired last year and the recall was for leaks at the crossover, mine was different. Towards the back of the manifold, near the firewall, there is a metal fitting for the heater hose that screws into the plastic manifold. The manifold threads gave out and the fitting popped out.
#65 of 122 Cornering Lights by rhawker Jan 03, 2008 (8:18 pm)
I purchased recently a 2004 Crown Victoria LX. I do not have corner lights. I do not know if I have them and they don't work or maybe the 04 Crown Vic LX did not come with cornering lights. Any help?

Replying to: rhawker (Jan 03, 2008 8:18 pm) Cornering lights should have been standard, unless it is an ex-fleet that deleted them, for whatever reason. Your dealer should be able to tell you from the VIN.   I would think you can see the bulbs in the cornering lamps - maybe the bulbs are not there?
#68 of 122 2005 wipers not working correctly by confused14 Jan 06, 2008 (11:09 am)
About a month ago my wipers started coming on and the fluid squirting when they were turned off. They would stop where ever they were. Now they stopped working when off but only on high speed but still will not automatically go in the park position. Not sure if it is a switch control problem, wiper motor, or electrical. Any advise??

My 99 GM has started the interior light thing   after all the charging system diagnosis   I replaced the 6 yr old battery   still baffled i found no excessive current draw...charging system is great   thismorning 5 am i look out the lights inside are going on and off   about 10 second intervals   even the buttons for the keyless entry are lit   as well as the 5oo bulbs lighting the interior   well I know whats killing the battery   the dealer says this car doesnt have a Lighting control module   suggests a def door jam switch ( built into the latch $60   or perhaps a button stuck down on the keypad   i think illpull most of the bulbs and put a switch on the dome light   maybe its trade in time lol   any idea where i migh look for a LCM?   Tom Replies to this message: autodr (Feb 02, 2008 10:18 am) merf_who (Feb 17, 2008 6:23 pm)

Replying to: mangler (Jan 17, 2008 5:56 am) Hey Tom, now where does this issue sound familiar to me from?   I didn't think about this testing idea when you emailed me a few days ago, just until right now did another idea hit me. While the interior lights are coming on falsely, hit the door lock button on the remote key fob and see how many times the horn chirps. It is chirps once, it is not a door ajar switch causing the problem... but... if it chirps twice, then a door ajar switch is suspect. You can try this while its not acting up to get a feel for it. Close the doors and hit the lock, the horn should chirp once. Then, leave a door open and hit the remote's lock button you should get 2 chirps. Not as good as getting to see the door ajar switches on a scan tool, but almost as good.
#71 of 122 98 Grand Marquis ignition problem by gcinms Feb 10, 2008 (3:23 pm)
I have a 98 Grand Marquis. Tried to turn off the engine, but the switch appeared to be stripped or broken. I replaced the ignition lock cylinder and the electrical ignition switch neither made a difference. It appears as if the actuator between the lock cylinder and the ignition switch is broken. The upper part works with the key, in both directions. When the lower part goes into the start position, it will not return, like a return spring is missing or the actuator is broken. My local auto parts store told me he cant get the part. Can anybody tell me where I can find an exploded view of the steering column or instruction for checking if the actuator is broken, and how to replace it? Is this a dealer only part? Thanks for any help. Replies to this message: papasmrf (Apr 23, 2008 10:47 am)

Replying to: mangler (Jan 17, 2008 5:56 am) I have the same car and had the same problem. I researched and it does have a body control module that controls the lights. I think it was about $500 . I just took all the interior light bulbs out except for 1 and also do not use the auto headlight's. I haven't noticed any problem since. Merf
