    Windshield washer not fixable?

    Tried all I can think of to find out why the windshield washer died at the same instant the washer button broke and popped out. New button installed, wipers wipe but no washer!! Do I really need to tear the front of the '97 Mark off to get at and check/replace the washer motor? Are there...

    Washer button question

    On the 97 Mark VIII does the long prong on the windshield washer button slide into the up or the bottom side of the hole in the stalk? Want to be sure before I latch in the replacement one. How does one get them out in the first place?

    How can the radio drain the battery??

    How can the radio head in my 1997 Mark VIII drain the battery overnight?? The dealer trying to resolve the battery-dead-overnight problem traced it to the radio head, pulled it, and problem stopped. Now no radio. How can the radio drain the battery with the key out?

    Wanted Need a pair of NEW 97 Mark VIII headlights

    I need to replace the leaking headlight housings on the Mark VIII and am hoping someone has some new OEM ones, with or without low-beam HID bulbs. Bought two used ones and both were crap when received; sellers would not take them back. Tired of being screwed trying to keep this car going.

    Repairing 10-disc CD Changer?

    The MarkVIII got rear-ended and since then the CD player keeps cycling without playing. It seems to put each disc in, look at track 01, and then cycles to the next disc without playing. Is there some place to send it for repair? If not, is there a plug-in replacement for it which will work...

    Water leak passenger side?

    In the heavy rain this week I noticed a water leak on the passenger side floor that appears to be dripping down onto the foot slope and then pooling on the right corner of the floor. Any idea from where this is coming? Can it be stopped from the engine compartment side?

    Steering column up/down problem

    With the "easy exit" feature turned on, the steering column will usually go into up-retract when exiting, and then come back down when entering the car. Once in a while it will extend, but not come back down. The button to make it go up or down/in or out, doesn't want to work any longer...
