At the fuel pump, pink with lite blue tracer is voltage. I looked at the fuel pump relay , there are two lite blue wires with orange tracer. I divide the relay into two sides, load side, has the arm with arrow head, that lite blue wire is voltage, you can see the fuse. The control side of relay is that coil looking symbol, that lite blue wire is ground controlled by computer.

I have been checking every post about this problem and have replaced many parts and the problem continued but today i backed my 1999 town car up on the ramps and found my gremlin. I had a bundle of 3 wires coming out of my fuel sending unit and taking a rest on the nearby exhaust bend and were melted together and showing bare wire so i pulled them away from the exhaust and separated the 3 wires in question and taped them and made sure they would not be keeping company with the hot pipe any more and then took a long drive and all is well again.

Check crankshaft sensor.

Seen this "mystery drain" many times. Check spark at the battery to see how big the drain is. For this simple test, blow away any (explosive) battery charging fumes. Leave one terminal on and gently touch the other to its post in fairly dark surroundings. Then try it again with the wires taken off the alternator. Your spark is now probably much less. Usually bad diodes leaking electricity backwards through the alternator cause this drain. Replace the alternator or the diode pack inside it. Some mechanics recommend actually measuring the drain.... hahaha. OK whatever.

You may have a damaged or bent rod on the ride height sensor or the wiring is damaged to it or the sensor is defective. The sensor is located under the car it is easy to replace.

You don't need a wiring diagram ,what you need is a scan tool that will pull codes from the LCM , an LCM Parameter Identification (PID) Index ! Checking codes first !

sounds to me like the bands or clutches are wore out. probally needs a rebuild.

It may not be air con gas but a failed AC compressor. If the AC gas does need to be added this is NOT a DIY job. You will need to take the car to an auto AC specialist to have it carried out.

Silicone spray on the rubber parts. Just make sure not to get any on the braking components.

No 73 code.. double check and look here: FORD airbag airbag reset airbag module airbag light on engine code maint...

Hi Joe the link below has your answer... Ignition coil a primary/secondary circuit malfunction.......CHEERS.. http://www.obd-codes.com/p0351

Your fuel has sensors to check. And if ever your check engine light goes on check it for free at auto zone

pull on the steering wheel really hard to one direction while turning the key.

your short circuit is close to the switch,is something dangling or moving that can short out with it?it doesnt sound like a wire issue

Most likely, Cam phasers for the variable valve timing. About a $1300 job.

the neutral safety switch is on the steering column under the dash. it straddles the column on the dorsal aspect

I have learned from experience. I replaced the air bag suspension ($75) on my 2000 Town Car and then learned that I had a problem with the compressor. Then decided to replace system with coil springs. Went on ebay and got a conversion kit (Air Ditcher) that included the shocks ($123) with free shipping. My mechanic replace the bags with the coils for $40. He said that with the shock replacement it would be $120 because the top of the rear shocks were hard to get to. So the whole job should have cost $163. No more worries!
