Check if there is current on the switch, if yes then check the engine winer.

Hello, This is a tough problem to find when there are no Diagnostics. I suspect the problem is due to a term called "Heat Sink"

What this term means is that the engine compartment is getting hotter when the engine is just shut off, than when it is running. When the Tow truck moved your car, wind passed by while the Tow truck moved your vehicle. This helped cool it off regardless of when the car was towed.

A lot of times the heat shields on the Catalytic converters are rusted off. In a pursuit vehicle, they could have been knocked off. This means someone needs to look under your car to see what is missing.

The electric components like the Ignition module, coil, Relays, and fuel lines can be overheating.

Try opening your hood when you park your car at home and then go out shortly afterwards and try starting the car. If it helps, you need to find the component that is overheating and replace any missing heat shields.

I hope my solution is very helpful. You can also get FREE scans at Autozne, Advance, and Oreillys autoparts when you get a Code light.

Your going to need to take it to a shop, to pull a vacuum
& have it leak tested & charged,so let them look at the
orifice valve

Unless you had a compressor failure it will be okey

almost alway a vacuum line with a hole in it or off

The switch for your interior lights is part of your door locks on that year fords. check the strikker where the door sets over the pin. you will see the switch plate if the plastic is worn off replace the switch if not try titening the switch. to do this you will have to take the door pannel off and probly remove the lock

UBDER THE BACK OF THE CAR

check the head light relay X2 in under hood fuse box

When you look underneath, is the oil pan damaged ????......this could prevent the pistons from moving, or the crankshaft puley may have been damaged ?????

To insert for what reason? The old ones should be colour coded so you get ones of the same colour, Also look on the fusebox cover for details.
I hope I have been of help but please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
I appreciate your vote if you appreciate my reply.

worn bushings or broken control arms.

at the end of rhe spark plug wires.

The spark plug wires are those long black whatchamacallits that you see on top of the big thing that makes your car go.

First lift the thingy and prop it up with that long metal stick.

Unbelievable

Transmission Range Sensor

Should be on drivers side of case,just above the pan
Bolts on

Sounds like a butcher job, and not something
that could or should be used

dont panic! air bag flashes with code 12 means the airbag module doesnt have power supply. may be it might be disconnect during any other vehicles work! thanks

if you mean the indicator lamp then some vehicles have a little screw on teh top by side of the headlight ,and others have a spring at the back of the light ,some are incorperated in the headlight moulding .Lift the bonnet and have a good look is best advice because even models in the smae year can vary .

Crown vic's are notorious for transmission trouble. Even when they are rebuilt they are never the same again.

Have someone you trust shut the trunk with you in it with a good flashlight and have them use a garden hose to run water all around the trunk where the gasket is supposed to seal it. You should be able to see where it drips from and then determine how it gets there. A damaged seal is most likely.

The linkage is broke you have to take the driver side door panel off to fix it

sounds like youve got air in the system try bleeding it
