Any tips to removing the starter bolts (3 hole type) on a 1997 mercury grand marquis

I'm having one heck of a time trying to get these starter bolts off my 97 mercury grand marquis with a 4.6liter V8 so I can change out the starter. The 3 bolts , ( 1 of which is accessible , the other two are nearly impossible to see or touch, or get any real type of tool in to take them out. Anyone out there help? Thx Tommy

Use flex joints and extension bars to get back to a place where you can use a ratchet or bar

SOURCE: Mercury grand marquis 1997 temperature control

I'm not sure if yours is identical to mine since yours is second gen and mine is third gen, but with mine (1998 MGM), the heat was stuck on all the time. Full heat would practically cook your feet and you couldn't shut it off.

It was a servo/servo arm that controls the hot/cold mix door. The part was $15. The labor was $700. They had to take the entire dash out of the car to get at the part. Required two more visits due to a missed electrical connection to a daylight sensor and a vacuum issue that made the car stall when put into reverse.

My car had 150K on it at the time. Has 165K on it now. Still runs great and looks great. It's now my wife's auto and I drive a 2006 MGM.

  1. Label and disconnect the starter cables from the starter. If equipped with starter mounted solenoid, detach the push-on connector from the solenoid.

To detach the hard-shell connector from the solenoid S terminal, grasp the plastic shell and pull off; do not pull on the wire. Pull straight off to prevent damage to the connector and S terminal.
See Figures 3 and 4

Does a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis starter have 2 or 3 bolts?

normally a three bolt...but better to remove the original, as you will probably need to return a core anyways in most cases.

Can't find radiator drain on 1997 mercury marquis

It may not have one.
If there is no fitting on the bottom or the back side of the tanks, you would need to remove the lower hose to drain it.

1997 Mercury Grand Marquis won't start and electrical goes out

You may have a bad connection where the battery grounds to the frame and/or engine. Check the cable running from the negative battery post to where it bolts to the car. It should be clean and very tight - no corrosion. If you can see the connection, watch it while someone tries to engage the starter. See if it sparks, or starts to smoke or glow a dull red. If so, the connection needs to be cleaned up very well.

Remove starter 1997 gran marquis

Good luck! Three 10mm bolt hold the starter in place. you can see two of them, but the third is on top, and will seriously test your patience and exorcise your vocabulary. I have been successful in removing the starter solenoid while the starteris still in the car, which allows you some clearance to remove the third bolt. Otherwise, the exact length combination of socket and extentions on a 1/4" drive ratchet is required over the top of the starter. Make sure you disconnect the battery before you begin.

How do you change window regulator with window motor on a mercury grand marquis 98

You have to remove door trim panel for access. I can load steps on Monday, but go to ebay and type in grand marquis window regulator in ebay motors and look at pictures of regulators for sale to see what they look like.

Are you sure you just don't need motor? There are 3 dimples in inner door panel to drill 3/8" holes to remove motor bolts.

Removed starter bolts but cant get it to drop didnt know if need to take loose motor mounts to raise engine for clearance

Some times you need to move the steering in one direction or the other to get room to move the starter. Look on the New starter for a Rearward bolt coming from the Trans side. Sometimes you have 3 starter bolts.

You don't need to lift the engine.
