Look for suggestions on what could be causing the electrical burning smell.

SOURCE: Replaced Oil Filter Adapter Gasket 1995 Mercury

We performed exactly the same repair on December 28, 2010 withexactly the same outcome. Finding no other references to this oil pressureproblem anywhere on the internet and the fact that they both happened the samemonth, I can only wonder if there are some incorrectly made gaskets hitting theshelves.

SOURCE: what causes my tail lights, park and dash lights not to work on my 1994 grand marquis

It's the headlight switch. The terminals burn out for the tail lights, dash lights (and in your case parking lights, mine seem to be alright) quite frequently. I've changed my switch out 5 times in the last 2 1/2 years, been to pick and pull yards in NY, IL, AZ and CA to find a switch for myself and I usually have to go through 3 or 4 cars because their switches are already burnt out. It must be a deeper problem in the wiring, but my car knowledge only goes so far.

2002 Mercury Grand Marquis. Electrical is problematic

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to sub category.

That sounds a bit of a mess and all because power to the vehicle wasn't maintained during the battery swap. Likely to be a failed Body Control Module. You need a good local auto-electrician with a $5,000 pro grade scan tool computer for diagnose. You can't fix stuff like that yourself Judy.

My 2001 grand marquis heater turns on but wont blow i smelled a strange smell before it quit

Could have been the resistor or the blower motor. It was probably a burning wire smell.
Check the blower motor for power and ground.

1996 Grand Marquis lets off gas smell through A/C vents after about 10 min with A/C on and more so when idle ???

Does the smell happen if you are running the hvac on just vent ?
The ac itself would not cause a smell unless the clutch on the compressor were slipping and you would probably hear that.
Its a sealed system just like your fridge at home.
So it could be something in the engine compartment that is coming thru the vent when the ac is on. The most common smell is a musty or mold smell from moisture inside the hvac.

Some electrical short stay there, I suggest to check each electrical circuit that is connected to this fuse; check description or legend in the fuse label. With other details, we could send some electrical diagrams.

My 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis will not go into reverse and the over drive does not work either what does that mean?

It sounds like your transmission need to be serviced,rebuilt or replaced.
Smell your fluid to see if it smells nasty and burned.
You can try to change the fluid and change the filter,if you do and it remains the same you need transmission service.
