check you wheels for balance or if they bear any damage.

sounds like the blower motor needs to be replaced.

if had driven threw a large amount of water and hydro locked the engine yes you could have damaged the heads but also the connecting rods could be bent having such low miles on the car i would not but a engine with so many miles on it if you have full coverage on the car call your insurance company and see if it is covered a deductable is cheaper then a engine and a rebuilt engine would be a option

you probably have a bad motor for one of the windows wich drew lots of amps that blew a fuse!! check all fuses and repair connector!

This is a common problem with the blower fan resistor. Find your blower fan motor. Follow the wires by the Firewall to a part mounted in the ductwork. It usually has 2 screwmounts and 1 wired plug.For some reason, the part may respond by tapping it with a broom handle or icescraper handle. It may last for years after that. Or if you buy a new part, it may do the same thing for no apparent reason.The position of this switch is often blocked by an engine heater line. The water will usually stay in the line if the engine is cold by vacuum retention and if you disconnect the electric plug and both mounting screws you can swap the parts with 1 hand while holding the loose end of the disconnected heater hose. You just have to have everything in place before removing the water hose. You can then reattach the water hose and reclamp it. Then work on the switch.The higher end Lincoln dash units have a self-diagnostic Code which when programmed will tell which Climate control part is bad. This is a diferent Coding system than for the engine system. You would need to know the trigger Code and have a Legend of corresponding problems they match to.But this feature could easily be used in a Service writeup area as it takes less than 5 minutes to run.I hope my solution, especially the free one with the broom handle helps you.

check all of your connections going into it may be corroded at electrical connections or the cd may need replaced

Those are the next things to check.

Code 1401 is for a problem with the EGR pressure sensor. You need to find out if the EGR valve is working or not.

Not sure on the code, it could be PO174. It may be an O2 sensor or problems with the intake and/or cyl heads.I would make sure on the code and get a second opinion.

That is nothing more than neglectOnce a year all brakes have to come apart& be cleaned of all rust,& properly lubed on reassemblyThat is when you may or may not machine or replace parts as necessary.I have never had that issue in 50 years of automotive work

Never leave well alone they will work for ever without touching in most cases stop playing around with this car and stop reading them boy racer weekend magazines or listerning to so called experts who have more than one beer and know it all

You have to take the hoses off the heater core at the fire wall and just put a u on thim to connect the two hoses

You don't

The best way to do it is to use the correct key for the vehicle. If you are using the correct key, then you need to get your immobilizer system properly diagnosed and repaired. There is no way to "override" the system without damaging the computer system that controls it (which also makes your engine run).Please note: There are many self-proclaimed "auto experts" that will point you in the direction of several web sites that claim to show you how to do such things. Some of them can work, some of them cannot possibly work - ALL of them are opening up a can of worms that you will probably not be wanting to deal with (or pay for) once it is opened....I would think LONG and HARD before attempting any modifications to your vehicle or its computer systems....It may cost you a small fortune if you later decide that the modifications need to be reversed in order to get your vehicle functioning correctly.

Go to Autozone.com website and register your vehicle for FREE. You then will be able to look at and print the chassis wiring and the fusebox layouts.

It depends on the model of the remote control which is not mentioned in your query.Please specify if this is operated by IR remote.

it could be one of two things..either the window motor itself or the switch is bad...you need to pull door panel off and use a voltmeter. Attach your voltmeter to the connector attached to the window motor w/ your meter set on 12volt dc..turn the key to the run position and move the window switch in both directions. If you get a full 12volts at the motor then the motor is bad..if you get no voltage readings then its your switch.

The 4.6 Liter SOHC Ford engine is equipped with two timing chains. One chain drives the right side camshaft and the other chain drives the left side camshaft

sounds like your switch contacts are shorted closed.. try disconnecting the switch for inspection and use a volt ohm meter to inspect switch across contacts...
