How do you change the tailight bulb in a 1998 Lincoln Mark VII?

First, you have to pull the engine and transmission. Second, using a forklift, turn the vehicle upside down. Third, with the engine and transmission removed, you should be able to access the Tail Light Bulb Access Screws located underneath the vehicle. You will need a special to tool, Part No. 07-2343-A1-BZ (left hand and right hand versions) available via special order from Tangier. Once you're there, it's pretty self-explanatory. Just replace the bulbs, turn the vehicle back over and reinstall both engine and transmission.


How do you check transmission fluid on acura 3.2 tl?

To change transmission fluid on a Acura 3.2 TL you must first check the existing fluid level when the transmission is hot which takes 15 to 20 minutes of driving. Next you will need to dip the dipstick in the transmission fluid to check the level which should be between the third and second level of the dipstick. Use a funnel to add transmission fluid if necessary. Next start the engine and shift into each position and then apply the parking break and turn the engine off. Recheck the transmission fluid and add more if necessary.
