I have the same problem in my 03, the passenger side. I have been told the swith needs to be cleaned, but I have been unable to get the door apart with being afraid of breaking it.

Had the front brakes done yesterday, fixed the problem. New pads and resurfaced rotors, $120. Thanks

I took the car to have the wheels road force balanced and that seems to have helped the problem greatly. It still has a slight virbation at 60. The problem began when the new tires were put on the car. The tires are about 2 months old on the car, Yoko Avid TRZ, same set I had on the last...

I have just had the tires on my 2003 TC rebalanced again trying to correct this problem. Basically when you up to anything past 50 the steering wheel beings to "quiver". It just has a shake from left to right when I take my hand off the wheel. Any idea what else this could be? I have taken it to...

I appreciate the advice, I had the fronts rebalanced and it worked, the wheel is no longer shaking. I will have the rear done as well as I am sure it is no better.

I recently got new tires on my 2003 TC and since then there is a vibration in the steering wheel at 55 plus mph. Any ideas what this may be. I had it aligned after the tires were put on and it did not change it. Could the wheels be misbalanced? Thanks!

I have got a 2003 Town Car and I am using 87 Regular gas. I am getting 16-17 around town. Is using a higher octane gas help this any or run any better?

How would you go about recalibrating, mine does seem out of sync. Thanks!

I was reading the owners manual and it looks like the car takes 6 qts of oil instead of the usual 5. Is this true on the 4.6 or am I just reading it wrong?

I just got a 2003 Town Car Signature with 55,000 miles. Paid $11,400 for it after I traded in my 1994 Continental for $1500. So far I love it, very nice car. One of the few problems I have found is that the passenger side heated seat backlight, not the amber power indicator, will not stay on, it...

The vibrating, would it be constant after the thump. Motor mounts may be it. I will have me mechanic take a look. Thanks

When taking off in the car I hear a thump from the front end. And if I stop hard I also hear the noise. Is this an axle or something? Thanks

Yes, both sides are fast, passenger a little faster then driver, and only when the headlight switch is active in the parking or headlight position. If the signal is fast and you turn the switch off, the signal is normal. All the bulbs are good.

Only when my parking or headlights my turn signals flash very fast, if I turn the lights off, the signals work fine. I am guessing headlight switch which is fairly cheap but I want to make sure. Thanks!
