turns out when its dark and Im trying to work on my car I cant see some important things. Went out to my car this morning and realized that the solenoid on that side wasnt up and turned in enough to be locked. Problem solved and mission accomplished. Thanks, fab for pointing me to the solenoid!

Is this what I should be replacing? http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/MOT0/WPT589.oap?year=1996&make=Lincoln&model=Mark%2BVIII&vi=1188547&ck=Search_C0418_1188547_-1&pt=C0418&ppt=C0035 Is it possible to clean the connector with electrical cleaner on the one I have now? Edit...

Thanks guys! Ill replace it and keep you guys posted.

Is that something I can mess with to get it working? Or will it need to be replaced? Thanks

So ive done some searching and Ive read a thread about replacing rear bags. I got the old ones off in like five minutes and got the new ones twisted in to the top bracket in about another five mintues. I have the car on jack stands and have a jack underneath both lower control arms in an...

Is the driver seat track gone with the seat? I want the track if you still have it.

Beautiful Car. I really dont like the front end on my 1st gen but when I see pics like these I can see the potential in my car. Such a purrrdy car

When I read this about the belt I thought, "I remember the belt being in bad shape when I bought the car." So let the laughing begin: To my own defense, it is very dark in the parking garage with dull lighting so I did not notice the shredded belt before lol. The "hurt" motor sound I was...

Its obviously not good. The low coolant light was coming on, then the belt broke. While replacing the belt I removed the filler cap on for the coolant and antifreeze began leaking from the bottom of the water pump. Ill be getting a new water pump soon. Anyone know if a 97-98 water pump is...

I know this is an old thread but I just realized my water pump is leaking from the bottom, but only when I remove the coolant filler cap. After I screw the coolant filler cap back on the leaking stops. Is this just another sign of a bad water pump? Does taking the cap off allow the pressure to...

I also posted this in the general Mark VIII discussion area so its possible you may have already read this... I tried to start my car a few weeks ago and I heard some metal "grinding" sounds coming form the motor so I imediately shut it down. I have not tried starting since then. Some one...

You make a good point, but its worth atleast $400 at the scrap yard. Although a motor swap project sounds fun, I just do not have the place to do it or the time. If the remainder of the car were 100% solid I would consider finding a way to do it...but Im not gonna waste my time at this point...

Even if I had the place to do it, it just wouldnt be worth my time. Exactly! The complete rebuild on my 98 cobra was $6k (it had a few goodies, mind you) but yeah
