Thats a unique option, never seen anything like it.
I find it interesting I completely missed seeing this post for the 7 years its been around.

Surface mounted to the floorboard.

Nice looking B&W.



I can attest to that. I have a red SAP p71, people just don't give two shits about letting their doors slam into it thinking its just some fleet cop car (its red ffs, we...

I'd be changing the fuel filter. You might have the pressure but not the volume. Who knows what that old fuel sludged up in the existing filter, or even if the existing filter was on the verge of...

Did they catch the error of their ways and pass you?
The other thing to, all the timed lighting (the 2008 cvpi will kill power to lights or accessories after 20 minutes), along with those...

No grinding here either. The only thing I had to do was get an alternator bracket from a 100amp alternator equipped cvgm as I got a large case 3G from a taurus.

When looking at a meter, stay away from the "electricians" stuff as that is geared to AC and higher voltages (ie: your 200v and 600v scales on the Klein) as Sly mentioned, lower scale voltages let...

What voltage are you reading at the battery when it is running? If it was mostly dead, let it run a while, keep monitoring voltage at the battery. Next turn on the headlights, and the heater on...

Happy Belated birthday!

Pretty cool throwback with the OTC reader. Any live data capabilties on that unit? I can't remember, been too long.

My box grand marquis and my pickup truck are within 200 pounds of each other when crossing the dump scales, close enough for truck tires for me.

They are used in more than just the crown vic.

Have you back probed (do NOT peice the wire insulation) the brake light connector with a test light? Do it. take notes for each wire.
Have you looked at live data to see what the brake status is? ...

And if photo radar comes to be, you can bet they will start targeting plate covers. Here in Ontario, even a clear plate cover is technically illegal. You won't get stopped for it specifically, but it...

Yanno, if photo radar comes to fruition around these parts, a super bright led plate light might just be advantageous.

Nice truck. Resisting making a joke about the Zero gear... =-)

Definately take the photo, there is more than 1 style of dome light used in the cv/gm.

Doesn't the 2007 also need some additional sealant due to a mismatch in the dorman unit on one of the ports?

I battled this on one car. Until one day the alignment was so bad vs the steering wheel/straight ahead you couldn't help but notice that the steering just did not feel right--especially in a manual...

As your finding out, a dealership isn't necessarily the best place to get work done on an older car. Have you walked over to the parts counter yourself for a chat with the parts guy and see what...

A 2008 is never an easy thing, 2008 is another early vs late year build difference. The type of roll over valve determines the tank type. For those going the spectra replacement tank, the late has a...

Excuse the potato pics, sanyo diagrams.

I'll attach the 2008 diagrams. The wiring manuals shows a 16 pin or a 24 pin+8pin (Sanyo head unit) connector-there is no 290B connector.
I know for the 2008cvpi, the base radio used the old vic...

Agreed with all that, China can make good stuff if good stuff is what is spec'd. I have a made in China Spectra rad in my Nova, it is the best fitting rad I ever put in there. Everything in exactly...

Between the comments about the door pull, and the replaced parts, Notice the closeup of the instrument cluster, its cracked & crazed. I wonder if it got a low mile cluster put in it that was shipped...

Did you put fingers on every bushing? I had a couple go brittle in my '89, and partially breaking causing either lock or unlock issues.
Is the little spring retainer still in the manual lever? Or...
