Disconnect the battery cables because we don't want the car to start while turning the cylinder for removal /this is if you have the key/ put the key in the ignition turn it to the on position on the bottom of the steering column you will see a hole under where the lock cylinder is use a punch or a steel rod that is long enough and thin enough to fit in the hole there is a button inside press that in while rotating and pulling outwards on the cylinder and it will come out then place the new cylinder in until you hear the button click it is now locked in place. / this is if there is no key take the steering column shroud off on the bottom you will see a button sticking out of the column just below the lock cylinder using a drill you must drill out this button all the way this button is what holds the cylinder in the steering column once you have done this insert a flat bladed screw driver into the cylinder and turn it the cylinder should come out good luck to all who use this thread for help STEPHEN

1993 lincoln towncar sunroof switch
I know this is an old blog but some people may still find it helpful. There are 4 wires in the roof window switch hooked up to 2 smaller harnesses that have 2 wires each.
Remove the switch and use only the metal contacts in the harnesses. One should use a light tester to confirm which one is the ground and live. this is how it turned out for my car.
One harness has a light blue wire with a black stripe, and a black wire. the blue one is live, the black one is ground.
The other harness has a red wire and a darker blue wire (silly ford) these are the motor connect and return wires.
You must hook up thhooked to (example, if the live wire was connected to blue motor wire and the ground wire was connected to red motor wire and it opened it, that would mean you would want to put the live wire to the red motor wire and the ground wire to the blue motor wire)
When doing these wire connections, it is advised that you have the ignition turned off. Once you make all the connections properly, you can turn on the ignition and if done correctly, the roof window will move. Once it is closed, remove the wires frome the harnesses and LEAVE THE ROOF WINDOW ALONE UNTIL YOU HAVE A NEW SWITCH.
e power (Live, light blue) wire to a motor wire. You must then run another wire from the other motor wire. To complete this circuit there is only one place that this last wire can go and it is to the ground. once this is connected the roof should either open more or close.
To reverse the operation of the roof, simply reverse the position of the live and ground wires in respect to which motor wires they are

Scrap metal prices
The price of scrap metal really depends on the economy. For a while I was constantly watching the stock ticker to predict when the best time to turn in scrap metal was. You can find most common metals listed in the stock index.

How do i get the check suspention light to stay off put in the spring susention all ready!
It is important that you make sure the compressor is disconnected and that there is no power going to the suspension control module. (This is something that the mechanic who did the spring conversion for you should have done but CHECK FOR YOURSELF.)
Once you have made sure that the compressor is disconnected and the leveling system computer has been disabled, SIMPLY REMOVE THE LIGHT BULB.

Changing rear end oil
Most rear differentials, it's a drain and refill operation.
SOME differentials have a drain plug, but others have ONLY a fill plug.
If yours doesn't have a drain plug, then you need to suck the old fluid out, with suction/transfer pump:
http://www.harborfreight.com/gear-oil-and-fluid-pump-61746.html
You can also use this to refill with the new fluid.
Most rear ends are filled to the bottom of the fill plug hole.
If you overfill, just let it overflow/drain until it stops dripping.
Now, different differentials require different fluids, so check what you need.
It might be in the owner's manual.

Tail lights not working
I had the exact same problem with my 93 Lincoln TC. Replace the switch under the drivers side dash or take to a auto repair shop which is what I did.
