    Will a 2001-2004 center console mate to my '99 console?

    you might like the newer console, anyway, ... the 99-2000 did not have a boot on the handbrake... the 01-04 the boot was added for a nicer look... if you go to a junkyard... try to pickup a handbrake boot, also...

    No start

    you can take the pump out of the car and connect it to a battery out of the car and the pump will run if it's any good..just be careful not to bend anything... like the float... this will let you know if it's the pump or the wiring or something else...

    Engine Wont start.. Help!!!!

    ditto what kramer said... i did my daughter's intake gaskets on her 2000 vert and it wouldn't crank.. finally rechecked the coil and found the plug wasn't plugged in good... make sure the connector "pops" or clicks when you connect it... motorcraft are probably the best plugs, but i run NGK in...

    Interior light problem

    97 Auto coolant leak, sputtering engine

    let me back up and say something else, kyle... you don't need to run it hot... that's bad... if it won't hold ANY fluid, you may have to pull it home or have it towed... this is cheaper than a new motor... if it holds SOME coolant, you might be able to get it home driving short distances at a...

    97 Auto coolant leak, sputtering engine

    if you've got coolant running out, check hoses lst... then check for hole in bottom of radiator.. check the corners... if it's pouring out the bottom of the engine, it's gotta be a bad water pump... sorry...... only other place water goes is out around the intake if the intake gaskets are...

    radiator fan , its broke

    blowing back towards the engine is correct... the fan actually pulls cold air across the radiator into the engine compartment... that's how it cools.. as far as coolant... nothing wrong with water , but i try to use as much 100% antifreeze as possible.. the way a ford is set up, you can just add...

    Engine Rebuild or Replace

    the brake booster line is on the firewall, right behind the master cylinder...the big round thing is the brake booster... the rubber line runs from there to the motor (upper intake, i think)... also.. there should not be any slack in your throttle cable..sounds like someone has messed with it...

    Electrical Brake lights don't work.

    try CJPony.com.... i have found several odd bits like convertible rubber and tag light housings that are hard to find... those switches do go bad.... the switch is more likely to be the culprit than the wiring.....good luck

    radiator fan , its broke

    a loose connector will definitely do it..i would make sure the connector is snapped tight...if not replace it or repair it... also check your fuses and relays... i don't know for sure on that fan, as mine haven't had fan problems, but you can wire most fans to run backwards if you have it...

    i am answering this for any of you who have an old motor that's working, but not putting the top up.... most of the 10-12 yr old convertibles just need motors to be serviced... pull your back seat,... loosen the motor and access the rubber stopper at the right end of the top motor.. take motor...

    dave, sorry, but there is no real fix for the back window.. they cost about $180 bucks and are not that hard to replace if you're handy with a stapler... i put on my first mustang top ( i've done 3) in about 2 afternoons.. just take your time... convertibletopguys.com are some good people to...
