85 TC Signature 3.0/ 65K total miles I had an unpleasant surprise yesterday noon when I discovered the TC wasn’t shifting. In the usual Overdrive position, the engine just kept reving higher; I took it up to 20 before I decided it wasn’t going to shift. 1) can manually shift it into...

interior lights 85 TC sig I think we have enough cases for a recall... I had my car for a year when I noticed the rear "alcove lights" were on while I was driving home one night. The lights stayed on anytime the ignition was on. After 2 weeks I couldn't figure out the problem and ended up...

85 TC Sig Ford Premium Sound radio abruptly started delivering only static instead of music on AM & FM. 2) also green power-light no longer comes on, however 3) amp & speakers work from the cassette player fine. 4) wondering if it could be broken or disconnect antenna cable Is there easy way...

interior lights stay on Sorry I have no answer for you. I thought I'd mention you aren't the only one. During summer 2008 just the driver's side rear alcove light started to stay on after the doors close and I'm driving down the road. After a month both alcoves were staying on. I couldn't...

86 TC Signature 45K I have been hearing an intermitent swishing sound for 6 months coming from "up front." It now occurs all the time and is a bit louder, a constant chirping or swishing corresponding to car speed, not engine speed. I'm guessing some kind of bearing or the odometer cable...

my rear window de-icer/fogger switch on the dash lights up, and after 5-10 minutes shuts off as if it has done its work, but nothing happens at the window. Last winter was my first with the car, so I don't know how well it use to work. How do you troubleshoot/fix the de-icer?

86 TC Signature 45K electronic display w/ umpteen buttons I have been hearing an interrmitent, soft chirping/swishing sound from time to time for 6 months coming from "up front." It now occurs all the time and is a bit louder, a constant chirping or swishing corresponding to car speed...

85 TC Signature I notice after 6 months the rear looks a couple inches low and I thought it was because I park facing uphill and it put more weight on the back springs. I was thumbing through the owners manual and noticed one paragraph about a height adjuster in the trunk; I didn't know she...

analog for digital insturments I have an 85 signature with an early digital panel (read that buttons up the ying yang and annoying beeps when the engine is off) and I too am interested if they can be switched out for an analog panel and how hard is it?

When I bought the car the left wiper worked fine and the right wiper chattered frequently, quite loudly. I assumed the right blade was worn out and replaced both sides with a quality teflon brand, but the situation remained the same. This suggests to me the problem may be in the arm, not the...

replacing belts thanks for the response, I found the locking bolt on the backside of the plate, not the front as the Haynes manual shows. Yes the movement is limited and I think the pivot bolt had been left too loose which (i hope) was what caused the idler to wobble wearing out the belt...

85 TC/ 5.0 302ci I bought my TC this January and the 2 belts looked ok. 6 months later the AC/air pump belt shredded without me noticing it deteriorate. After a couple of months I noticed on the new belt the engine side edge was slightly frayed and now after 6 months it looks like it could go...
