The alternator in this car is a major pain to access. Unless you have time and patience, I would bring it to a professional. I can get you the process for a 2006, but the engine layout is for the most part the same with an 02

Here again I try to promote the Chilton's Manual online or but the book in your local auto parts store and YouTube especially if your are attempting this on your own. It is possible that you may need to replace only a fuse. But I would check those places out first.

The heater is just a radiator using the coolant to heat the car if. If you're having blower motor issues, it should be under the passenger foot well. It usually looks like a black bowl. Often it's a short, use your palm and hit it or around it, hit it just enough to get it working again. Over time it might quit, I've had them continue to work long after. Relays are often under the hood on the passenger side, and can be tested, they click if they're working. You can sometimes find great blower motor replacements in junk yards.

Check to see if your electric cooling fans are activating.

Check for codes

There are several Powerboxes containing Relays. One of the frequent problems in Ford makes is the Blower motor resistor. This is a control which is found by following the wires from the blower motor across the engine bay. Usually midway, the wires will connect to the part. The part will have 2 mounting bolts. About 90% of this part is hidden inside most ductworks. Sometimes replacement is not necessary. Tapping this part with a broom handle or snowbrush will often reactivate it. Sometimes permanently. Durability of the new part is questionable; so the old reactivated part may outlast a new replacement.

Hello lovnmymustang,

Thank you for choosing fixya.com. So, you're getting bad gas mileage, and getting a deep sound when you push the gas. Try these suggestions first:

1. Replace O2 sensors; have code cleared at auto parts store if it has come on (service engine light will come on)
2. Replace the fuel filter and the air filter
3. Change the spark plugs/wires/coil pack(s)(carborator if equipped and not coil pack(s) )
a. If coil pack is replaced, check the modular as well (sits under coil pack)
b. If carborated, replace cap and rotor
4. c. Regardless of a or b - change spark plugs and wires

In the main title above (my current page) it says 'car is shaking' - if this feels like it's in the steering, have a front end alignment checked (and performed) if needed. If it feels like the engine, do the above suggestions.

I hope this information aides in the successful repair of your Mustang. Please, let me know if there is anything more I can be of assistance to. Thank you again for choosing fixya.com

There are no jump points under the hood for this car. You will need to access the battery, which is in the trunk, under the carpet right next to the spare tire

The cold air intake is responsible for sending air into your engine, allowing ignition to take place

In early model cars . There was a firm called smiths that made under dash ac units for big American cars and one unit generally froze the back seat passengers . So yes if you get a good unit professionally fitted

You have 5--- HVAC Vent Blend Door Motors If the motorcraft parts site has their name,location & part numbers They are avail from amazon cheaper than a dealer Best if you use professional scanner to look at the data, but you could change a failed motor if the air flow is not going where it should & you know which one controls that

If the heater fan does not blow, there is a part called a blower motor resistor that often fails. If your fan works, but does not give heat, let the engine warm and turn on the heat and grab each of the 2 heater hoses. They should be equally hot. If not, a water valve is not turning on. For cars like yours, the Electronic Climate Computer has a self-diagnostic sequence which can be activated to find problems. There are instructions on the Web, but you will need the Codes and then need to know what and where that part is. If you do not want to fix this yourself, this diagnostic feature can help a Technician diagnose the problem in less than 5 minutes. A really good Dealership could give you an idea in the write-up area.

A $75.00 spring kit fixed my transmission problem .

You need to have a pressure test done on the cooling system. This will tell where the leak is. Overheating can sometimes be caused by the Electric cooling fans failing to work, but loss of water can explain the rest of the overheating.

I've replaced 3 of the 4 window regulators on my 2001 Lincoln LS. It's a better idea to replace the whole regulator assembly then to repair one that is worn out or broken. It saves a lot of time and money in the long run. Look on the big online auction for a replacement. Be sure to check the sellers feedback score, and the price of shipping. I've bought all 3 of mine that way and haven't had any problems. Good Luck!

Left side of the dash, next to your left knee. Grab the recessed handle and pull it off.

put key in driver door and turn to the left or right, whichever way unlocks the doorthe alarm should stop sounding ad the car should start

No your right change the thermostat and antifreeze and that should fix the problem about $30.00 do not drive till you do the work or you will damage the engine. also make sure the cooling fan is turning when it gets hot but only for a few seconds.

? Do you mean not shift out of Park or not move in Drive setting? There is a lock-out switch tied into the brake pedal lever which allows the car to shift from the Park position. If the brake lights do not work when pressed, that's the problem. The switch is either out of position or broken. If the car does not move in gear, the selector may not be moving on the transmission end, or the electronic trans solenoids are not activating.

check the lock on the handle it should unlock when you pull the handle,if it dosent its broken,but it should open if you pull the lock lever back the sme way you would pull on the handle. thats a problem i had in my 2001 lincoln ls
