its more of a matter of just going and getting one from a salvage yard or going to autozone or your local auto parts store and buying a horn, not a difficult procedure
The speedometer on a 1990 Mercury Topaz may not be working due to a faulty speed sensor, a broken speedometer cable, a blown fuse, or a malfunctioning instrument cluster. It is best to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.
the timing is usually set by adjusting the distributor and using a timing light on the number one cylinder and pointing the light at the harmonic balancer on the bottom of the engine crankshaft pulley,the timing mark on thr balancer should be marked on the correct degree for example 10 degrees before top dead center. as the distributor is turned the timing on the light will adjust to the balancer . to get the correct timing look under your hood for a sticker that has timing and sparkplug gap specs.
Most likely rust has settled in. The best way is to remove the door panel and spray all the parts with either a rust spray, or Wd40. If you cannot open the door to get the panels off, then roll down the window, and use an oil can and squirt oil all over the lock parts, and work the lock at the same time. Might take some time, and put a piece of carton under the door to catch all the oil. Good luck.
Depends on why its overheating. IF the Radiator fan is not kicking on, then there are several things you can check. One is that the AC system is working properly. Unfortunately, Ford tied in the AC system to the cars cooling system (overheating). And without the AC System working properly you might have to wire a toggle switch directly to the fan, with a fuse link on one side, to be able to manually turn on the fan when the car reaches temperature. IF the AC unit is working properly there are 2 sensors. One is on top of the thermostat housing, and actually is in the housing. The other is in the engine block right next to the thermostat housing. IF either of these is not working properly, then the fan unit will not come on. If that is not the problem, you may have a blockage somewhere, and need a serious cleaning of the radiator and/or engine block.
I had the exact same problem, with the same model car. You need to replace the idol air controller valve. I bought one at the local repair shop for 80$. It should not take more than a few minutes to fix. It is located on the backside of the intake manifold. It is a black box near the center,and in the back. It has an electical connection that clips on the side of the box. There will be two bolts that will require an 8mm wrench or socket to take off. This is important....the replacement part(if new from the part store) will have to be put on the Opposite of the one you take off. In other words, on the topaz model, you will be putting the new part on upside down.
yes
Are you really sure it is a '98 ?
90" topaz mercury is getting hot and shut off and the starts when it cool off.? what is the cause of this and how do i fix it?

Most likely speedometer cable
Make sure the 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier horn fuse is in working condition. Make sure the positive and ground wires on the horn are tight and free of corrosion.

To fix the horn on a 1988 Camaro, check the horn fuse first. Then check the horn relay, wiring, horn, and switch to find the problem.
If it is working what needs to be fixed? Assume, the lack of display. Not sure but I think the radio has two separate fuses, one for the radio one for it's display, check the fuses I have had similar problem but not sure if it was with my Topaz
Well first you have to find out what is wrong with the horn and than fix the problem, could be loose wires, horn could be bad, the wires could have rusted. your best bet is to cut the wires, unbolt the horn and hook up a brand new one and then put some wire nuts on there and if that dont work than your wiring is bad.
The horn on a 1997 Acura Integra uses one wire. When a horn stops working it is usually due to a bad fuse. To fix the horn replace the fuse labeled HORN.
Check the horn fuse, and connector on the horn
