    new to the club

    just picked up an '85 grand marquis colony park...

    needs some body work, but engine (84K miles) runs strong.

    first order of business: repair manual; haynes or chilton?

    should be a fun project car.

              thanks...

              nobody local had chiltons or haynes for that matter.

              simple question: fuse box?

              radio doesn't work. also, the "mixed" heat works, but fan shuts off when switched to "floor". fuses perhaps?

              cheers.

                Remove the panel below the steering column, there the fuse box hides.

                    quick forum question: what is "box tech" vs. "aero/whale tech"?

                    trying to figure out where to post stuff.

                        seller didn't have the owner's manual... anybody got a diagram of the fuse box?

                        #11 (15a) is blown. #7 and #15 are missing. ??

                        thanks.

                            Congrats, I'd love a wagon. Ebay for factory manuals FTW.

                              another quick question: looking for a dash cover-- appears to be two options... what is a "light sensor"?
