When I have to replace PCV valve
The PCV valve is only needed to be replaced when it no longer works properly. Look for the PCV valve and disconnect it from the engine and from the vacuum supply.. The valve should be clean and rattle when shook.
Symptoms of a failed PCV can be poor idle quality, oily residue in the air inlet of the intake manifold or possibly fail emissions test.

You'll need the electrical wiring diagram for that. You can also buy a universal harness where you bought your sterio with the adapter kit.
How to reset oil light to 100%
Look in your owners manual
If you have buttons on the dash, push the status button
& watch the dash until the oil light comes up, then
hit the reset button once, then hold it
That is just a gadget & has no ties to the vehicles compute,
as far as doing anything,you can forget it if you like
I have a 2004 Lincoln L/S, if I waited until it got to zero I
would be driving for a year & have 10,000 miles on the oil,
so it isn't of much value.

I suggest check the easy things first. Vacuum lines, could cause a lean condition, fuel filter restricting the fuel flow lean condition. Carefully clean throttle body with proper cleaner. I'm a shade tree mechanic but these simple things work sometimes. You didn't mention if you have the cvt trans. If you do and you are going 75 80 on the highway coming to a hill will cause it to race that high. Then when the hill is crested it will slow down, I don't like it either but it is the nature of the beast. I often cancel the cruise on big hills on the highway so it doesn't do that.
When I was driving my 2006 Ford 500 on high way,
stop driving this vehicle before you kill yourself ! you got something in the steering components that is broken and you will have to raise the vehicle to see what is not right. the parts to inspect are the tie-rod ends, ball joints, pitman arm and such. raise the vehicle so you can see and have someone else turn the steering left and right and see what is loose. it should be easy to spot if your car changes lanes on it's own. once you found the problem, fix it before you kill yourself
Blower only goes high, won't go to lower speed
the blower system has a small printboard with a few resistors soldered onto it to control the speeds. usually it is located near the blower motor itself. this part needs to be changed. try to follow the wires that plug into the blower motor itself and you will find it. it should look something like this.
its screwed somewhere in the blower housing itself to help cool the element off so you will only see the plug side
hope it helps
