Bumpage, as the temperature is now reading around 145-165 degrees every time I take the car out.
Considering I livein Maine, I would say this is off by justa bit more than I appreciate. Considering I think this is screwing up my climate control, any advice would be more than welcome!
I didn't know you long (just over a year), but you served me well up to the run-in with Suicidal Bambi. :(
May what parts you have left (and which will fit) live on proudly in my mom's old Sable wagon.
PS: Deer suck. A lot. Trust me on this.
Just wondering, because the one on the car I just bought is off by about 45 degrees. It's accurate - I think - but it gets tiresome to have to mentally translate it being 126 degrees outside to 81 degrees in my head.
I also think this may be throwing the climate control in the car out of...
The chime isn't going off at all.
I suspect its either a blown fuse or the unit itself is busted. This is incovenient as I have a bad habit of leaving my lights on when I get out of the car.
Since I don't have a repair manual and I've never had to fix one of these before... where the heck is the location of the chime and/or the fuse to control the chime?
I've come to realize that the one in my car doesn't work, but I don't trust my skills quite enough to go hunting without advice.
My first 'real' car that I fell in love with was an '80 cougar 4-door.
I paid $200 for it as a beater car after my '93 Tempo was wrecked and wound up falling in love with it.
That car was ugly as sin, but I couldn't kill it if I tried. I've driven nothing but Mercs (and now a Lincoln) ever since.
She doesn't look so bad if you take a picture in the right light.
Or buried in snow
Or if she's wet...
But otherwise, she's in dire need of a paint job.
Yea, mine are pretty horrible. The car sat for a loooong time in the Maine mud.
I was wondering if it was something to do with the air ride (as mine is indeed now converted).
I'm just happy to know its nothing major thats going to pop up and bite me in the rear at some point in the future. :)
Some pics for clarification...
First is the hood closed for reference to where I'm talking about, second is under the hood above the left headlight... you can see the bracket and the disconnected plug poking up doing, well... nothing.
I bought my 91 Lincoln Continental over the summer, but only recently have begun really driving it. While I have no complaints (at all!) about the way it drives and handles, I do have a stupid question about an empty space under my hood.
On the left front part of the hood (right in front of...
Never underestimate the harm old tranny fluid can do.
I had a car that was giving me all sorts of problems that, when we dropped the transmission pan, revealed that it was the original fluid/filter from the factory (it still had the plug that is ejected in the assembly process in the pan).
The...
I bought a '91 Continental over the summer for $400 (theres a reason it was so cheap... read on) and have a few questions regarding the car.
The car has the 3.8L V6, around 135k on it, though I suspect the engine could be a replacement (it runs silent... as in, like-new silent).
The...
