    HELP 2012 MKZ Trunk Light / Glove Box Light

    Well well, apparently 10 amp fuse number 25 was the culprit classified as demand lamps / power saver relay. Hope someone may find this useful as after replacement all is well until I replace the lamp again, fingers crossed.

    HELP 2012 MKZ Trunk Light / Glove Box Light

    Update: Had an early morning trip and although my lights come on in the car when I open the door, when I manually hit the map light on either side they don't work, but if I use the dash switch to activate the lights front and back do come on. Also my lights in the vanity mirrors are out too. I...

    HELP 2012 MKZ Trunk Light / Glove Box Light

    Really weird question, but I can't seem to find the location of the fuse for my trunk light. I was going to replace the bulb and was pulling the working bulb out since the whole bulb housing must come out and I heard a little electric spark and no more power there. It seems to have taken out the...

    Precious 98 Conti meets a deer....

    I am sooooo sad, my beautiful car is a beauty no more. When it happened I seemed to drift off in a shocked emulsification. I just pulled over afterwards and about had a stroke on the spot from the grief. It was impossible not to hit the creature unless I was going to crash into the car driving...

    98 Conti Radiator fans not coming on

    Any ideas gents on both fans not coming on even when I turn on the A/C.... luckily I was paying attention and she did not heat up too bad, but we can't figure out why they won't come on. The fans work when direct power is applied, any ideas? Last time this happened to me years ago it was my...

    98 Continental Suspension question

    It seems that you don't need the pricey "electronic" shocks but just a pair of lower priced ones, from what I have seem even ones off a newer Taurus or Sable would work even. You just need "basic" shocks but You have air ride struts it seems. Which you can find on eBay for around 100.00 or less...

    2000 conti needs new air springs in rear

    I appreciate your reply but I have a few concerns. Price and or extra parts. What would you say about the difference in price say $100.00 (Arnott) to $60.00 or less (competitor) per side in money savings and did you get all you needed like O-rings and such with your Arnott purchase alone? I am...

The leak is slow and was found out after the recent cold spell here in Ohio, but I am not sure exactly what is...
