I have a 1989 Towncar, and the blinkers are fast and loud. It really bugs me. I had a 1984 Towncar, and the blinkers were slow and quiet, like the old days. Where can I get a blinker can that works slow and quiet. Thank You, Bob

I have a 1986 Towncar. Occasionally it will buck like the tranny was having trouble shifting, or fuel was cut out, or electrical was cut out. I have to let off the gas, then reapply gas. Sometimes it happens a couple times in a row. I had the tranny serviced, they said everything is fine. Had...

Bob again. Whatever year you get, buy the 3 volume factory service manual for it from Helm Inc. easily found on the internet. The 3 books cost $50. You will save several times that the first repair you make. The power windows like to quit because the clutch inside the drive motor disintegrates...

Stay away from 80-84, they have the vv variable venturi carburetors or that stupid solenoid fuel injection above the carburetor and 351 winsors. 85 was the first year year for the 302 5 liter and fuel injection, which was peppier than the 351 and gave better mileage. Your best best is 85 - 89. I...

Me again. I you do this, and you have keyless entry, don't forget to get the 5 digit code from the trunk hinge arm, passenger side. It will go with the box you pull. The black plastic box is about 3"x3"x6" long.

Twice now I have had my power door locks start trying to lock themselves, one door after the other, and it does not stop when you take your key out of the ignition and the car is off. You have to go the fuse panel and pull the metal can circuit breaker. This stops them but does not solve the...

Style Yes, I agree. I like the older box look with the sharp lines. I don't even recognize a towncar today. Young people get in my 86 and say "what kind of car is this, it glides". I would love to own a mark IV or V, but the 460 engine just sucks too much gas at todays prices. Those early...

I have given it a tune up. The servo is all vacuum. I did unplug the connector and blew some dirt out. It is working fine again, for now. Thanks

Recently my cruise control has starterd pulsing a little bit, sporadically. Seems like it would be caused by a vacuum leak. Any suggestions on what it could be? A leaky vacuum line? Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm new and very glad I found the website. I have an 86 towncar that I've been going thru lately. I'm toying with the idea of going to a junkyard and pull out a complete digital dash system and replace my analog dash. Is this possible? Has anyone ever done it. I like the digital...
