My 1995 crown Vic while driving all the trouble lights came on one at a time then the speedo stopped working and all the Gage's started acting strange pulled into driveway and she wouldn't start. Acts like a dead battery but batt. Has full charge. Help!,

Austin Parker... hello,

When car electronics DECDE to act strangely... it is ALWAYS a good time to check for BATTERY TERMINAL corrosion...
(If you are not comfortable playing with highly corrosive materials... IT'S SERVICE STATION TIME.

So...
You have removed the key... The car is fully in PARK...
BRAKES applied... Lights all turned off... (no lights on dash?).

Repeat your last exit cycle...

Get back in start the car... Make sure everything functions as normal Set your brake... Park, off the lights (everything)...

Put it in gear...

Still beeping... (write down your radio settings)

Time to do a Bill Gates... (hard power cycle)
Disconnect your negative battery lead
and take a 10 minute break...

Reconnect battery... start car & park it again... OK?

ELSE...

If it resumes beeping it will be time to beg, borrow or buy that OBD Reader you always wanted any-way!

HOPE this helps

More Information for DORMAN 85641

So many possibilities here... One may be that a wheel bearing is overheating/seizing. Also is the coolent level okay? All fan belts especially to the water pump good? What you need is a good trouble shooting guide because there are just too many possibilities here and too little information. Sorry...

check the drive belt for the alternator for condition and tension. Check battery terminals and posts are shiny clean and tight. have a load test done on the battery to check for dead cell.

You Vic?

From what you say i think you are correct in saying it is a connection problem, Remove the cluster and check wiring to cluster. make sure pins are good, you may need to bend pins to make them tight when you connect the connector to cluster.

ck 4 fuel press. spark inj. pulse ect.!

Losing coolant? Might have an intake leak.

I would visually check for spark at the plugs, to make sure spark is getting to the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse.
How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?

i am trying to install an aftermarket temperature guage with capillary tube into my 1988 crown victoria ltd 5.0 efi. where does the capillary tube mount?

check for clogged fuel filter first, usually the pump works or it dosen't, check and get back to me.
