Where is the hazard flasher unit on a 1998 Mercury Marquis?
i believe that the Hazard Flasher Unit for a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis is behind the left side of the instrument panel
The fuse block you are looking for should be behind the knee bolster (the trim panel under the steering column), between the steering column and the emergency brake lever, underneath the dash.
Lay on your back with your legs hanging out of the driver's side door, put your head against the brake pedal, and look up and to the right. ;)
I don't remember right off the top of my head if there are separate flashers for the turn signals and the hazard lights, but they should look almost identical. Round, silver or blue or black, and about the size of a half-dollar.
TIP: If you are replacing the flasher, go with the upgraded electrical flasher (or the heavy duty) rather than the standard one.
In my 1999 there is no flasher unit instead it has a light control module (LCM) under the dash to the right of the steering column. It is plastic black box 3"x5"x2" and pricey ($500+).
The hazard switch is part of the turn signal, dimmer and wiper control - called a multi function switch. It is IN the steering column and price is about $50. This might be for you. (10/09)
In a service manual for the car. Chilton or Hayes are available at part stores. Part stores can usually look them up if you can describe it or show it to them on the car.

How do you remove an ignition tumbler from a 1977 Chevrolet ova?
you have to remove the steering wheel. Then there is a locking hub with a snap ring holding it in place remove it . Then remove the turnsignal actator. then there will either be a torques head screw of a phyllips head screw right above the lock clyinder that must come out. then the lock cylinder will come right out. this is a tough job because you need a lot of paitience and pay close attention to how things come apart. I'd rate it at a 9 on a 1 to 10 scale for a novice

How hard is it to replace front brake pads on 1997 Dodge Caravan?
A big plus of disc brakes is how easy they are to work on. Replacing pads is about twice the effort of changing a tire with only slightly more opportunity to mess things up. Never having worked on '97 Caravan doesn't intimidate me in the least because this is an fix that's extremely universal.
Jack the vehicle up and for safeties sake lower onto jack stands.
Remove the wheel.
For cars with ABS, open (turn counter clockwise) then close (turn clockwise) the caliper's bleeder valve.
Remove the caliper bolts - some vehicles have Alan heads, some torx but all to my knowledge have the heads inboard.
Slide the caliper off the rotor - here's a place bad things can happen. If you're working on a heap there's a good chance the flex line is going to break while you let it support the weight of the caliper. If it does, thank your lucky stars because it's a lot better happening while the car's not moving rather than when you really need to stop.
Remove the outboard pad.
If the vehicle has ABS, place a snug fitting piece of tubing on caliper's bleeder valve, stick the other end into container that will soon have brake fluid in it and open the bleeder valve. If you don't have ABS don't do this because air can be introduced into the system and these are hydralic brakes not neumatic.Place a C-clamp on the caliper and inboard pad and compress the slave cylinder, this presses the brake fluid out of the cylinder.ABS owners - close the bleeder, non-ABS owners - check to see if any brake fluid squirted out of the master cylinder and clean it up.
Remove the inboard pad.
Replace pads with new.
Put caliper back into original position.
Replace caliper bolts.
Replace wheel.
Lower vehicle off of jack stands.

PUMP DOWN THE BRAKES
This can be done by any child who can reach the brake pedal with their foot. Sit in the drivers seat and slowly press the brake pedal as far down as it will go and release several times until it no longer goes to the floor. If after 8 to 10 pumps the pedal still goes to the floor, clean up the brake fluid you squirted over God's half acre, find the opening in the system and deal with it. If the pedal "firms up", start the engine and repeat.
Put the vehicle in gear assuming you have no brakes. Be ready to throw the shifter into neutral. You will be pleasantly suprised by how well the brakes work.
It's taken me longer to write this than changing pads takes - don't be afraid but please be careful. There are few things as exciting as realizing you've forgotten to pump down the brakes when you're twenty feet from a steep hill that leads to a deep lake and you're headed in the wrong direction.
It's a good idea to leave the keys inside the house with a tag attached saying "Did you pump down the brakes?".

How do you clean cloudy headlights on a Taurus - Sable?
You should not to use sandpaper on a headlight to remove yellow, white or brown oxidation. If you do you will ruin the Ultra Violet (UV) protective coating. A new headlight that has yellowed with naturally occurring oxidation can be restored to crystal clarity without the use of abrasives. Once you put sandpaper on your headlight lens there is no turning back. Now you've got a job on your hands. Now your concern is not just oxidation but how to rub out scratches on the surface of the lens. This will involve power tools and a lot of time and steps. If you are starting out with a previously cleaned lens, your options are limited. You should also understand that, oxidation will return and you will have to repeat the process year after year. Today's technology has introduced an Acrylic lens restorer that is pure liquid and works on contact. There is no longer any need to grind away at your headlight lens with sandpaper and rubbing compounds to remove oxidation. Headlight cleaning via sanding can take hours Headlight restoration via Acrylic lens restorer takes seconds. You Choose.
Answer
The headlight gets cloudy with age. This happens to almost all plastic headlights.
You can get a polishing kit from most auto parts stores. It contains about 4 pieces of sand paper, progressively getting finer. The instructions tell you to soak the paper and sand the entire cover, alternating directions (vertically with one, horizontally with the next, ect.).
You would then use the supplied polish and buff the cover. That should fix the issue. I have a '97 Taurus GL. It worked well for me. Good luck.
TIP: the headlamp lens is easy to remove from the vehicle - I would suggest taking it out while working on it - saves you from having to bent over for an hour.
I also use a buffer wheel on my bench grinder for the final polishing.
See "Related Questions" below for instructions on removing the lens. (also covered in the Owners Manual!)
Answer
Try looking on ebay. I've also seen a cleaner to remove the yellowing, sold on there, but I've never tried it. Beware of the cleaners that want you to sandpaper the lights. If your local junkyard doesn't have any, see if they'll look them up in their cross-reference manual for the years that use the same lights. I'm guessing anywhere from 1989 to 1992 Sables used the same headlight assembly. Maybe the Taurus did too. Gives you a broader search range to find a good set.
Answer
I disagree with the caution on the sandpaper method. I have used this method on everything from emergency light lenses and plexi side glasses to fogged headlights and it works very well. The system uses 1000grit paper followed by 2500grit paper. The secret is to treat the surface with the proper sealer for that material (usually plexiglass or lexan).

I Detail/restore headlights for used car dealerships, and I sell a product called The CrystaLenz Headlight Restoration Kit. P.S. I have done a bunch of Mercury Sables and Ford Taurus cars and the Crystalenz clears them up well.

How would you replace a belt tensioner on a 91 Corsica 2.2 l with aftermarket AC?
The belt tensioner on a 91 Corsica 2.2L with an aftermarket AC is replaced by loosening the retaining bolt and pushing the tensioner to the side. The belt can then be taken off, the tensioner removed, and a new one bolted into position.
FYI: this is all in a Chilton's/Haynes manual 15-20 bucks at all automotive stores. disconnect the battery. wait a few min for the residual energy to disapate. take off the plastic around the steering columb. should only be 3-4 screws on the underside. place the key in the ignition and turn to the "run" position. look up into the underside of the columb. on the left hand side is the ignition switch and to the right is the ignition cylinder. on the switch you will see a TORX screw. undo the screw (no 10, i think). the switch should be removable now--there may be another screw, i can't remember. anyway, remove the switch. it can easily be replaced just like it came out. but make sure it is in the exact same way it came out. the cylinder notches into the switch in only one direction. you may have to play with it. i did. Note: when you turn the key it turns a spring-loaded mechanism inside the switch and activates certain contacts. i.e. start-run-stop-acc. the cylinder can only be removed if the key is in, and in the "run" position. it will just pull out. once you pull it out, you can remove the key and examine it for damage/wear. if it's bad, it's usually expensive to replace (here in Hawaii it's nearly 200bucks) install in reverse order hope this helps, David Dub Tek Motor Werks,Hawaii
