    My D/S door handle won't open my door...

    wish I had known this a month ago. Went to town, couldn't get back in driver's side door, was happy passenger side opened. Took car to mechanic and he said, oh yeah, the handle is completely broken. Cost me $147.50 for the handle which he ordered and the service to replace on my 96 Mark...

    What was everyone's first car?

    give away my age here, mine was a 1950 Henry J - standard shift and lime green. Named it The Green Hornet - loved the car except living in northwest PA and the hills, there was one hill that had a red light at the top, I either had to sit at the bottom and make a run when it turned green, or I...

    thanks for help

    just want to thank Mike for sending me diaghrams earlier this year when I ask for help on a rattle in my 96 Mark VIII. He suggested that it was sway bar or sway bar end links and sent me pictures after a trip to his garage to get his books. I finally got money and took car to mechanic and told...

    Front end creak

    I have the same problem, I've had ball joints, struts, shocks, mounts, bushings, everything checked out. One idiot said it was normal sound in a 96 Mark VIII and not to worry. Well, I am worried and the car is sitting in the garage. Noise only on secondary streets and roads - does great on...

    Keyless Entry not working.....

    I have no ideas why the pad won't work, but mine on my 96 Mark VIII opens the truck half the time when I punch my numbers to get into the car. Have learned to check truck before driving off. Maybe someone can solve both our problems? Joy41

    Mark VIII problems

    One thing the scan said is to replace engine oil temp sensor. I had this done twice as the mechanic thought perhaps it was sticking. But after replacing twice, the same message came up. Will check on the other things tomorrow and see what we come up with. thank you.

    Mark VIII problems

    The oil temp signal error comes up on my System Check and it will not allow me to reset when I do oil changes. Dealer says it isn't in their book so not to worry. My book in the car which came with the Mark says to take car to dealer immediately if this message appears. so far it doesn't seem...

    Mark VIII problems

    forgot about transmission there. This is a difficult one to explain - I may leave a stop sign and be 5 mile down the road before the car shifts unless I put it to the floor; then sometimes at 70 mph, it shifts, even on cruise. Of course if you go to AAMCO, they immediately want to tear the car...

    Mark VIII problems

    HI MIKE, JUST WENT OUT TO CAR TO MAKE SURE I TOLD YOU RIGHT, SYSTEM CHECK ON MESSAGE CENTER SAYS "OIL TEMP SIGNAL ERROR" - EVERYTHING ELSE CHECKS OUT FINE. I BELIEVE IN MY BOOK, IT SAYS IF THE OIL TEMP SIGNAL ERROR COMES UP, SEE YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY. I DID THAT WITH NO LUCK. YES, THE...

    Mark VIII problems

    amazing, even tho I ask my question in the wrong forum, at least the LS folks have suggested do's and don'ts for me - the Mark VIII folks either don't have any answers or prefer not to discuss my auto problems. Thanx LS guys/gals - you're OK.

    Mark VIII problems

    my conversion kit makes the Mark look extremely classy - the spoiler makes it racy - have had a lot of compliments on it's looks and a lot of folks say, I'd like to buy it from you but can't afford it. I've never seen one exactly like mine, it is a very good car, just has quirks like everything...

    Mark VIII problems

    thanks, I'll try not to be intimidated and who knows, I may buy an LS - of course then I would have to get rid of my van and my truck. On the other hand, ya'll have a lot of great information in your forums and I'm enjoying every minute - oh yeah, I'm learning too. Yes, I did post in the Mark...

    I realize that and I appreciate your replies and I have listed my question on the Mark VIII forum, so give me a break, I am a beginner (old, but a beginner) and I am sorry if I troubled the LS group.

    Mark VIII problems

    My 1996 Mark VIII has problems the dealer cannot help with. First the steering wheel bounces so much, it makes your hand numb. Tires are new, aligned. First time they installed new front rotors and rotated back rotors, cost $431. That didn't work so they checked everything and said, they had no...

    Mark VIII problems

    Thank You I'm sorry, I am new to this forum and posting and am having a hard time figuring out how to get where I'm going or where I should be. Thank you for your help. I know my Mark VIII says LS so I figured this is where I should have gone. Thanks again.
