The leather on my front seat is starting to show wear, kind of like cracking. It's restricted to the areas that get rubbed when I get in and out of the car. Anybody have any recommendations on how to take care of the leather? The car sits out in the weather during the day when I drive it to...

Well, I took the car in for a scan this morning. The diagnosis was that it needs a new relay, a wiring harness, and a new compressor because this one "seems to want to seize". Total bill would be >$1300. I went for the relay and wiring harness because I need the car in operating condition...

Wow, this is great info. I'll do some checking this week end. Calabrio or Eddie, can you tell me how much for the kit that Calabrio is talking about? Did you put it in yourself, or have it done? I called the Lincoln dealer and they wanted $80 just to do the diagnostic check. I'd hate to...

Thanks, Frat-man. The light usually comes on after I've been driving awhile. Seems like when I'm approaching 60 mph. Isn't that the speed where the car drops a couple of inches? Is that signigicant?

:( I'm getting repeated alerts to check my air suspension system on my '97 Mark VIII. If I hit reset, the light goes out, but will come on again the next time I start the car. (Sometimes immediately, sometimes after I drive awhile.) I haven't really noticed anything different other than the...

I checked it again last night and the light was working, both in tail light and brake light mode. I had been driving in the rain before, but didn't make the connection. Yesterday was sunny and dry. I'm not an electrician, but I'm thinking that you're on to something with the iffy ground...

I noticed that the tail/brake light located across the trunk lid on my '97 Mark VIII (neon?) isn't lighting up. When I step on the brake pedal the light flashes, then goes out. When I'm just running with the lights on, it doesn't light up at all. Anybody know what causes this, and how to fix...

Thanks for all the good responses. I don't know if it's the ballasts or just the bulbs, but I'm presuming that it's the ballasts given the way both lights died. When I had it diagnosed at the dealers they said $2k but didn't say what they thought the problem was. Some diagnosis!! If anyone...

The low beams on my Mark died :slam ; first on the driver's side, then about a week later, on the passenger's side. The local dealer has checked it out and claims it will cost ~$2,000 to fix. I loved the low beams, but that's way more than I want to spend to repair them. (I've gotten around...

Awhile ago my left lowbeam quite. Shortly after that, the right side died as well. The dealer quoted a price of $2k to fix the problem, which I declined to do. Now I have the opportunity to get two complete headlight assemblies to replace the burned out ones. Is this going to fix the...
