1996 Ford Crown Victoria - Page 9 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The kit will have full instructions included. The important thing is to tap into the LOW side of the A/C ...NOT the high side. The low side port is located between the compressor and the accumulator. The low side port also has a blue/light blue cap over the valve. The high side has a red cap.

I hate to say this but you may have a seized engine.
I recommend you take it to a repair shop and have them look into this possibility.
If Battery is new , starter is new, assumption that cables and wiring are in good condition and all your getting is a click not even a crank ... then either they gave you a bad starter or high resistance or a seized engine one of the three.

basics,,,air,,fuel,,spark,,compression,,timing,,,pull a few plugs,,smell them for fuel,,if dry,,,take snorkel off throttle body,, open throttle body or flap half way,,spay a little starting fluid or injector spay into throttle put the snorkel back on see if motor fires up,,if so then ck fuel delivery & pressure,,,,hope it helped

Hope this help (remember rated this post).

That is a deal only item - please drive to the dealer - give him your vin number and they will assist you there.

I would replace the fuel filter, check the air filter also. The fuel filter is often overlooked. They should be changed every 20,000 miles or so.

What are you referring to?

assuming you are talking about the lights for the speedometer area..called the cluster

The bulbs just twist out

sounds simple but you have to pull the cluster be careful not to rush and/or pull to hard the plastic around the cluster brakes easily

check the compressor turn the air on and turn it to def and you should here a click and motor draw down if not the compressor is bad or out of freon

Most likely one small one,and one large cable.

try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a few minutes to reset system. This may work..There is a factory code located on the warranty card that you can try also.

could be a number of things, o2 sensor, bad plugs, wires,fuel filter,clogged catalytic convertor

you may have too much oil in your car, or the wrong kind. Your spark plugs/ wires may be bad.. IF IT WAS ME... I WOULD FIRST. Check the oil, is it a clear color like brown or a milky creamy brown?? You may have a blown head gasket, if your oil is creamy brown you have water in your oil and the head gasket is blown or in the process of blowing.

try the ignition module.

the fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank, the tank must be pulled to replace the pump.

If you have power to the bulbs then check the switch. It is located under the dash about midway above the brake pedal arm. It may have vibrated loose and need to be tightened.It may also need adjusting. This is done by loosening the nut and turning the top nut.The lights should activate when the brake pedal is depressed about 1/2 inch.

what year

you will need to take it to an exhaust shop and have the catalytic converters replaced unfortunately

look underneath the column and you may see a white thin string,it probably came of the column,it just connects the the round part that turns when you shift it,its really easy..put it in neutral and pull the string until it indicates neutral,then push the metal clip on the column.You may have to remove the plastic cover that goes around the column to access it

heres a site that will help you
