At 115,000miles, my car is falling apart all at once. I just replaced both frt. window regulators at a cost of over $500! Below are my current problems; any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thx in advance.
1) Door lock not working on passenger side frt., but I can hear the actuator moving. Actuator bad? and not moving enough or is there a clip that could have come loose?
2) Intermittent battery light. Battery load tested fine, belt is recent, starts all the time (even in 25 degeree weather).
3) Bought new remote entry but cannot program. Do not have original permanent code but I thought I found it on an owners card; no dice. How do I remove the panel to access the computer ( it is supposed to be on there).
4) Cruise control stopped working. Previously had to push buttons several times to get it to work. Switch assembly on steering wheel?? Is this a pop out item that I can replace?
5) Hood not staying open. Rods are not sold at local stores and appear to be riveted to hood. Any ideas?
6) hood does not want to open or shut, as if the latch is sticking.??
7)Popping from frt. end when turned sharply or in a bind. Tie rods, ball joints?????
Seat belts do not retract w/o alot of help but I figure that is a straightforward remove and replace thing, but any experience or tips are welcome. Headliner falling out at back: I will try to tuck it back in. Also, has anybody ever replaced the carpet and/or seat covers in these cars. BTW, I have a 1998 Grand Marquis. Plz share your thoughts. < =text/> _uacct = "UA-939292-45"; urchinTracker();
