Finally got the airbag out. Almost 2:00 AM here. Spent the last three hours on it. I know. :violin: The engineer who designed it, the tech writer, and the illustrator are probably still laughing about the design and the shop manual description of how to remove the airbag. "Let's see those...

That's already happened to me. I'm going to try again, sticking some sort of wedge in after getting each corner loose. After switching to the allen wrench, I had three corners loose, and then, while working on the upper left, both bottom corners locked back in place. :shake: Mine started...

Thank you. Maybe a "flat head screwdriver" is a screw driver with a flat portion perpendicular to the shaft. I've never seen or heard of one. I'll try the allen wrench. Thanks again.

I have a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis, so it may not be the same as the Marauders. I am pretty sure that the engage switch for the cruise control is bad. I want to remove the airbag so that I can inspect and probably replace the switch. I have the 2006 Ford Shop Manual. I followed the Shop...

I just put these on my 2006 Grand Marquis. Any idea how often to grease them? I was planning to call Moog and ask.

No Bilsteins available. I've been waiting for them to come out. Probably never will. I put Bilsteins on the wife's 1995 Buick Roadmaster, along with the Chevy cop car springs, and they were still fine 100,000 miles later when it got totaled and replaced by the MGM with the handling package...

Thanks for the input. Alas, I am older also. And my wife and my brother's wife, who are why I will probably go with closer to stock components instead of the performance parts I would install for myself. Oh well. Life is still good. :)

Thank you. I'll give Midas a call. I used a spring compressor on the front springs when I put police car springs under our 1995 Buick Roadmaster to lift it about 1.5 inches. It worked out well. But I was aware of the energy stored in the compressed springs. I felt like I was handling a...

I have a 2006 Mercury Gran Marquis LS with rear air springs and the Handling and Performance Package. The car has 95K miles and is beginning to get bouncy. I believe that I need new shocks. I have installed many sets of shocks over the last 50 years. I have the Factory Service Manual...

Back when I had a couple of 1995 GM full size sedans, there was a fellow at a GM dealership who would ship parts wholesale to anyone. Is there such a source of factory parts for our Mercury's?

linear Logic great service When I bought my Scan Gauge II, I had trouble getting it out of the package. I dropped it on the floor, cracking the LED display. I called them, said I dropped it on the floor, so it wasn't a warranty situation. What would it cost to get a replacement? They said...

Welcome back. And thank you for your service. :flag:

Good question. I wasn't clear. I meant that when she needs a wheelchair I may sell it. And I may not. It depends on what happens. I was involved with the care of a great aunt, my father, and my mother towards the end of their lives. They each played out differently in terms of what...

I'm talking about 70-100 thousand more miles for the car itself. I drive it easy, but I've had four expensive maintenance items. Throttle position sensor went out just after the 36K mile warranty, then the automatic HVAC controller, then the driver side SRS, then the passenger side SRS. These...

How would one build one? What crank, piston, rods, displacement. Just curious.

Getting it done just the way I want it in a shorter number of elapsed days. :) My Tuner Cat software, which I used on both of our 1995 GM OBDI cars, cost about $200. Back when our car was new, I looked into it, and couldn't handle the idea of paying someone twice as much for doing something...

We have a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis with the Handling and Performance Package. It replaced our totaled 1995 Buick Roadmaster with the police car engine and suspension. I don't like the way our MGM drivetrain computer is programmed to upshift into 3rd and 4th and lockup the torque converter...

Thanks for the info. I looked at BOC, and they are not offering what I am looking for. I want to get the capability of making the modifications myself, tailoring the lockup and unlock speeds versus throttle position in both third and fourth gear. I also would like to delay the upshift from 2...

We have a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis with the Handling and Performance Package. It replaced our totaled 1995 Buick Roadmaster with the police car engine and suspension. It doesn't take much damage to total an eleven year old car with 145,000 miles. Interested in tuning the computer for revised...
