#111 of 120 Electrical Harness Problem by friendly1 Oct 09, 2009 (6:21 am)
It has been 7 weeks since my 2003 Lincoln Town Car has been at the Dealer, dead as a door nail. After week 1, the dealer told me I needed a new harness and 'FORD QUIT MAKING THIS PART'. This is only a 6 year old vehicle that Ford has quit making the part for. The dealer kept me hanging on for 3 weeks, saying that they were waiting to hear from FORD as to what they should do. Finally, I called Ford myself and within 2 days, they began searching for the part and they claimed to have found one on a junk car. They spent another week shipping it to my dealer, only to discover the wrong part was shipped. Another week or so goes by and they discover another part and ordered it, supposedly! GET THIS, AFTER ANOTHER WEEK PASSES, THEY REALIZE THE ORDER WAS NEVER PLACED. I DISCOVERED THIS YESTERDAY. NOW I AM FUMING OUT THE MOUTH AND I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THESE PEOPLE AT BALDWIN MOTORS. ANY IDEAS? Replies to this message: acdii (Oct 09, 2009 7:51 am) friendly1 (Oct 09, 2009 12:37 pm) furley (Oct 10, 2009 7:24 pm)

You can more than likely find an independent that can find the actual cause and fix it for you at less cost. Check Car Talk to see if there is one near you listed.

Replying to: unclewip (Sep 11, 2009 7:49 am) Clean or replace the MAS flow sensor. It is located near the air intake filter and is has security screws to keep people from tinkering with it. It is not adjustable. Over time, these sensors get a little debris on the small metallic wires and it causes the engine to have symptons like you are describing. I usually spray electrical parts cleaner on the small wires and the inside of the unit to clean it. Do not use anything hard on the small wires. This will mess-up the sensor.

#117 of 120 Town Car vibration by rollar Oct 26, 2009 (6:05 pm)
I have a slight vibration and rumble in my 2007 town car. It reminds me of a car with a bad u joint ;; The dealer drove it and noticed it right away and has checked tires ,u joints,drive shaft,ring and pinion and still have it;; It is noticeable from 53 mph on up but have to be on a smooth blacktop road to hear it;;;Was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem as even Ford Motor Company did not offer any help..It is not loud and some people don't even notice it, but I do and it is aggravating on long drives;; Any good help would really be appreciated..

Replying to: rollar (Oct 26, 2009 6:05 pm) Did they actually pull the driveshaft? If they didn't, then they cant rule out the u-joints. A slight vibration like you describe can easily be a U-joint that is binding ever so slightly. I assume the tires were rotated, and nothing felt in the steering wheel. Only thing I can think of to locate it, have the car on a lift, with jack stands under the rear axle to simulate being on the road and put the car in gear and run it up to speed while taking a scope to the various drive train parts. If there is a wheel or tire issue, that is the only way to spot it.
