Some thing is draining your battery. See if you can get hold of a clip-on ampmeter (most accessory shops sell them quite cheaply) and connect it to the thick battery main output cable. Make sure everything is switched off and the car is as you would leave it (including the alarm set if you have one). The reading on the ampmeter should be minimal. If it is 1 amp or more pullout and replace the fuses 1 by 1 until the reading drops to zero. Then you will know which circuit is causing the problem, then you can check for silly things like courtesy light switches etc.
If you have an after- market alarm/immobiliser fitted, pull the fuse on that first, you may well find that that is the problem. The you’ll have the delightful task of trying to figure out someone else’s wiring. You may find that removing it and staring again is the best option.

scratch that last post.. der.... sry lacking severe sleep. theres just a couple screws (just checked on my 91 crown vic)

The problem could be many things. Is the engine light on? Check for proper fuel pressure. Remove one spark plug and inspect. Your vehicle may just need a simple tune up. Spark plugs,distributor cap and rotor,fuel filter.

simple solution: Battery has too low of charge

not so simple solution: Solenoid is no longer working properly. While you may be able to just replace the solenoid, its usually easier (and sometimes cheaper) to replace the whole starter.

try to get jumped first tho, a clicking solenoid is usually just a dead battery

Have the driveshaft universal joints ckecked, sounds like one of them is worn out.

it sound like your switch is bad? as for the door some one could have change the key switch

Ford is notorius for bad breathing.There EGR system is terrible, it always causes a lot of carbon build up in the throttle plates. The best thing to do, is to take of the throttle body assembly and digg out the carbon thats restricting the air flow. Also, it is a good rule or thumb to clean the throttle plate with carb & throttle cleaner with a tooth brush. Add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner to a full tank of gas. While your doing all this you might as well change the EGR valve. If you follow the air intake pipe from the air filter box, it should lead you to the throttle body assembly. The EGR valve is located on the passenger side by the fire wall underneath the heater hoses and AC lines. Good luck, Ford engineers must have been drinking when they designed their vehicles, they don't make anything easy.

with lots of the early 90's vehicles headlight malfunction can be caused by a disfunctional alternator either you may need to replace the alternator or sometime what can happen is the belt may be to loose if its not either of these you may just need a new battery

You can get these at any large parts house or your local Ford dealer or a good muffler shop. Keep in mind that they will be very expensive. To run from the exhaust manifolds to the rear will probably run you around 700 to 800 dollars. That is if they don't want to replace the catalytic converter. Then you still have to pay the labor to have it removed and the new system replaced. A very pricey venture to keep your car quiet.

it sound as if you have a problem in your ignition switch the spring is broken and it cheaper and easier to go to a good salvage yard and find one the same color as your and then take it to a locksmith and have it rekey for your key.

the easiest way to locate your starter is to start at the positive battery terminal.Follow that wire to the starter solenoid.on the solenoid there are two big wires one leads to the battery and one leads to the starter (make sure you have a fully charged battery
and if you touch a screw driver across the metal studs of these two terminals and the engine cranks the problem is probably with the solenoid) as for the firing order your best bet is to get a haynes manual for your make and model car and the full easy to follow procedure for determining the firing order will be there (try googling firing order for your car and you might find a procedure for free online)
hope this helps.........Good Luck!

your car broken, i sergest taken it to a garrage

Hi,

Often the electrical design of the vehicle would feed the headlight switch from the fuse box. The headlight being a heavy consumer would have its own separate fuse. Further being a heavy consumer denotes high current passing through the wires. It is also possible that the connectors (at different points) would have been burned or corroded. The best order of checking would be fuse, fuse snaps/cradle (where the fuses are inserted), fuse block and/or fuse block connector(s) including the internal jumpers and wire/wiring harness. A DVM would facilitate checking the +12 at various points.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
