Without more information it is hard to tell. Is the humming noise variable depending on the speed that you are driving or constant? Could be ground, radio, pulley, compressor noises hard tell.

easy take two screws out top left and right edges they are easy to see if looking also there indented in door panel. Pop off two trim pieces on the edges of the handles they are hiding two screws. And there is one more screw in behind handle. That should be it. Pop off from bottom up there are plastic tabs holding together now just be gentle. Once you have loose you will need to untwist a courtesy light and start unscrewing your power accessories to completely remove door panel. The motors I believe in these window regulator units are good but have something that comes loose or disconnected inside. I do not know just bought a used one and put in mine. Anyway, use pneumatic chisel to take out rivets, should be 7 all together. Three for motor, two on top holding window and two on bottom securing the regulator. You will need to replace the rivets with nuts and bolts when your reinstalling your new assembly. I wouldn't go any longer than 20-25 mm length bolts. Have to remove lower inside straight rubber trim piece that the window glides in and out on. Just work it real slow from one end to the other and will just fall right out. Remove the glass. Tips: Do not get carried away chiseling You wouldn't want to break the glass. Good idea to put a piece of wood or something inside the door to support the glass in case it drops down. Never dropped for me but I put in supports just in case. You could drill them out but could take hours and then you have to drill through your door to gain access to some of the bolts. If you don't have a compressor go to friends house buy a heavy duty pneumatic chisel at harbor freight $20-40 or borrow one or something I had all 7 rivets out in about 5 minutes. Compare that with drilling! Total job can take about an hour or two. Add more time for rookies and If your trying to fix your old motor which i would recommend. Well actually I would recommend buying a complete assembly and then installing the new one while your working on your spare. The motor is where the expense is at. Hope this helps someone. I was discouraged from this job after reading manufacture and repair manual steps. Well turned out that the pneumatic chisel is the answer to getting her done. You wont need no stinking literature just don't break the glass. Its pretty simple.

This sounds like a fuel pump problem. Fuel pressure should be around 35PSI.

this is an R12 system, R12 is no longer avail except on ebay from private sellers, if the system is low u have a leak and must repair that 1st or very expensive recharge will leak away in a week or so, if u want to do a conversion to R134 see your local Napa or Carquest auto parts stores for a kit to do this conversion, the kits come with full instructioons and are about a skill level of 5 to get done.

time to replace your brake switch

you need a pro manual-library has chilton or mitchell--parts store can help too

the car is running because its in limp in mode have that pretty car put on a scanner.

Hello Larry. Begin by installing a new thermostat. J.

freeze plugs are set into the engine block along the water jackets. look for an indented circle with coolant leaking. Remove with a large screwdriver. Replace with appropriate sealant by using a large socket and happer--do not insert too far.

Find your fuse panel, looking in the owner's manual is a good place to start. Inside the lid of the fuse panel will be a key showing you what everything is for. If the turn signal and emergency flasher relays, which are usually plugged into the fuse panel, are the same just switch them. If your signals then run at the right speed, get a new turn signal relay and put it in. Often those relays are exactly the same, and you will find the same one fits many Fords of many years. The emergency flasher unit gets very little use.

I'd first check the coolant recovery cap to be sure it is sealing on top the radiator. I assume this occurs once the engine gets hot.

The other thing that could be happening is a stuck thermostat. If it is stuck closed, heat will build, and the coolant can only come throughthe small bypass tube instead of the upper radiator hose. That small hose builds pressure and forces the coolant to come through and out the radiator cap to the coolant recovery tank.

If you have not had thethermostat changed in a few years, now is a good time to do it. Use all new dcoolant and only distilled water. Tap water will cause the radiator to plug up after a while because of the minerals in it..

the abs light on the dash should come on when the abs is working (emergency braking)if it comes on when braking normally(gently)chances are a sensor is gone(replace in pairs,fronts & rears)
abs stops the wheels from locking up in an emergency brake situation,you will feel the grab-release,grab-release on the brake pedal......

mcdevito75 here, Sounds like something in the ignition system, a bad ignition module or coils, Have your repair shop take a look at these items.

The reservoir you are referring to is actually where you fill the radiator. The radiator itself does not have an opening or cap, therefore the reservoir is part of the radiator. It is marked with lines that indicate full hot and full cold.

There should be a decal under hood showing the belt routing. If the belt is still installed and there is no decal, simply study the outline of belt.

Frist is your pedal hard to push? Like stepping on a rock. If so, and your hearing air at the pedal, then your master cylinder is faulty and must be replaced. Hope this helps.

it is located inside the engine bolted to a crankshaft main bearing cap

Close to nothing to go on, but clean the connections at the battery and starter. The one at the starter is most likely your prob!

You need to buy a factory wiring diagram.
