Mirrors of a Crown Vistoria 89
Mirror units are not very expensive and canbe found online. I change the passenger side one earlier this year after the morror fell out. It does require removing part of the interior trim and it is help on by 3 screws depending on your model. if it is a power unit the connector is fairly easy to to get apart, use a small straight blade screw driver to lift the latch being carful not to break off the tab otherwise you will have to wrsapit with tape to ensure that it does does not come apart from normal driving and rough roads.
Jerking when you try to accelerate quickly
When you accelerate, it open more throttle valve and at the same time more fuel is supposed to spray in to meet the demand, but it didn't that why the engine is hesitate. The problem is that you don't have a correct air: gas ratio of 14.6 :1
Need to check
1- Fuel pomp rate of delivery to determine pump is weak for a change.
2- Fuel accumulator ( regulator) if it still maintains correct pressure for Fuel distributor
3- After the#1 2nd #2 fixed and the problem is still existed, then your Fuel distributor need to be taken care of.
2003 mach1 mustang, no brake lights, no cruise control
Check the fuses, if they are blown, make sure they are the right size. If not, do not use bigger fuses than the circuit is supposed to have. If they are too small, use the correct size. If they are, do you have any extra equipment using the same circuit? Like a stereo or GPS or an alarm system? Move them to a different circuit. Check the relays to see if they are defective. Check all the bulbs to make sure they are the right ones too. Make sure they are in the right way. Check grounding wires, make sure they have good connections.

Vacuum leak at base of steering column the part is half moon shaped and white what is it called
Run the vehicle at idle and turn off engine. Step on the brakes with the engine off and listen for vacuum leak. If you hear hissing with the brake pedal depressed it's the Brake vacuum booster......In the same area there is a parking brake vacuum release switch which leaks only with the car is in idle. If this is leaking your automatic parking brake will not release your parking brake automatically in drive.
2003 Crown Victoria-Position of seatbelt female buckle hurts me.
Can they be poked down and then brought up where you say? I had this on a lincoln town car and they were long enough without an extension. The mounting bolts are really made in only one spot usually and are very importantly secured. You could always just buy a female strap without any plastic on it and run it whever you want. A lot of RV places carry them :>) Hope this helps.
