    Electrical Drainage?!

    Every year it seems like I have to buy a new battery for my stang. This is getting old cause these batteries are high quality and supposed to last for 3 years. I dont drive my fox often, its garaged most of the winter so I can understand how the battery would go dead but if I don't drive it for...

    Reverse lights went out.

    Both of my reverse lights went out. My take is that both lights didn't just happen to burn out. So how do I fix this? Is there a switch that got fried or what?

    Power steering whinning.

    What is it about late 80's early 90's Ford cars and their power steering? My dad owned a '89 Cougar, and that thing whinned like a dog who got its leg caught in a bear trap. I own a '90 Mercury Grand Marquis and it also whins badly when driven slow. My 90 stang whines just the same...
