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

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.

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 .

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.

The car has daytime running lights and if they are going on and off it is more than likely that the module that turns them on is worn out (failing). You can replace it, or just pull out the fuse (located under the hood, check owners manual).

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

if the oxygen sensor is bad it will either not send or send the wrong signal to the ecu making the engine think it is running rich on fuel so the ecu cuts back the fuel supply

your best bet will be a used parts search on an auto recycler's website. you will have to buy the whole seat and take it apart and put the motor in yours. a dealer might find you a new one but it will cost more than the value of the car. get one locally as the shipping for a whole seat again will be too high. motors from several years will work, obviously you want newest and lowest mileage. it is an electric motor and will fail with time and use, like all things.

there is no adjustment, the IAC (idle Air Control) is a common failure, so replace it.

Did you replace the old plugs with the same type of plugs? Also, you may need to check the gap on your spark plugs. An alternative to this would be to purchase the platinum laser plugs, which require no gaping and have a limited lifetime warranty.

SOUND LIKE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS IN THE MULTIFUNCTION COMBINATION SWITCH.IT CONTROLS WIPERS AND TURN SIGNAL LAMPS.

That would be a part called a window "Regulator". The first way of fixing the window is to get the replacement part and then disconnect the Battery. You need to remove the door's side panel and this will include the Master switch panel and the Automatic up Relay. You then need to peel off the plastic weather seal. After this a block of wood or a small "C" clamp can be inserted into the door frame and the window supported in the Up position.

You remove the attaching clips in the window frame which releases the old Regulator frame. Then loosen the window motor so the gear drive and the Regulator can be changed. Then reassemble.

OR you can go to a glass shop and wait for less than an hour, watch TV and pay about $35 to $45 in labor for someone to install the Regulator you will be paying for anyway. OR you can leave your car there for the less than 1 hour job. AND you will not have to chase around for your own parts.

Now that you know the name of the part, you can call several glass shops and get your best deal.
I hope this helps.
