#45 of 121 Fuse blowing by kevinc3 Nov 20, 2007 (9:30 am)
2003 Mercury keeps blowing fuses for the horn and cruise controls. It happens each time I blow the horn for anything more than a quick. No other electrical problems just this one quirky thing..suggestions????

#47 of 121 Fog light question by dmyster Nov 21, 2007 (10:42 pm)
This is stupid and unimportant, but I still want to know. On newer Fords (2003+) and other makes, it is possible to have the fog lights on with the parking lights. I have a 2002 Sable, and I have to have the headlights on in order to operate the fog lights. Is there any way to make it so that I can have my fog lights on without the headlights?
#48 of 121 Turn signal problem by juliel Dec 26, 2007 (3:24 pm)
We just bought a '95 Ford Taurus with a turn signal that was out. Replacing the bulb did not work, and now nothing happens at all when I try to signal. Is this electrical or a just a simple fuse? Equally compelling, where is the fuse box located on this car? Having a similar problem with the brake lights. Changing to bulb makes no difference, and only the center one works. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful! Happy New Year.
#49 of 121 Door sensors/battery drain? by moonraven24 Dec 27, 2007 (10:20 am)
I have a 2000 Sable wagon LS. A couple weeks ago the door ajar light came on, my interior lights came on, and the doors kept locking/unlocking. It happened a couple times, then it started to happen more frequently. Then it drained my battery a few times and my battery died. We replaced the battery yesterday and now I am disconnecting my battery when I park so I don't come out to a dead one. My husband sprayed all the door locks last night with WD-40 (yay for that smell- yum, eh?) and today it was doing it again on my way to work. Yesterday it started doing something else as well. When I start it in the morning or after it has been sitting for a few hours, it sort of sputters and the idle keeps dropping for the first few minutes that it's on. The lights (in and out) dim when it sputters as well. Once I get going and drive, it's fine (except for the door locks going up and down the whole time). My husband couldn't find any vacuum hoses that were messed up or anything (that's what the sputtering reminded me of) and he took the alternator off the battery and the car still ran so it's not the alternator...any ideas? Could a fuse be causing the door problem? Or something really simple? I looked up door sensors and I think I saw that they were $130 dollars each?

#50 of 121 1997 Taurus Electrical Issue by sunoco260 Jan 04, 2008 (9:10 am)
I have a 1997 Taurus sedan with 68k that has been in the family since new. There have been no problems until a year ago. 1) The factory alarm system sets itself off under different circumstances. Leaving the car unlocked is the only way to avoid the problem. 2) The passenger window sometimes works and sometimes does not. The motor was replaced. 3) I noticed what appears to be a ground strap on the drivers side that is attached to the body below the windshield and then to the hood. This strap is broken. Neither of my 2003 Taurus's have something like this. Does anyone know what it is for?   Any suggestions? Could the two issues be related? Thanks, Frank
#52 of 121 Daytime Running Lights for 2008 Taurus/Sable by billgolfer09 Jan 31, 2008 (2:28 pm)
I'm sure there is a way to install something in the existing wiring harness to activate this feature. (Ford Motor Co. does try to sell their cars in Canada which requires them!) Does anyone know where/how to do it? What part number is required? (Probably only sold to Canadian Dealers).

Replying to: moonraven24 (Dec 27, 2007 10:20 am) Did you get this resolved, we are having the same exact problems? thanks Replies to this message: moonraven24 (Feb 14, 2008 10:48 am) moonraven24 (Apr 09, 2008 10:03 am)
#54 of 121 Burned out dash light by dmyster Feb 10, 2008 (6:31 pm)
One of the dash light burned out in my '02 Sable, so only half the tach. lights up. How do you replace these bulbs? Is it a fairly easy fix?
