Where is the cooling fan relay located on a 1996 Ford Taurus?
On the 1996 Taurus it is located in the CCRM which is not serviceable you will need a new one from the auto parts store or from a junk yard. They average 150 at auto zone. The ccrm is right next to the battery its a little box that plugs in.
How do you install a replacement airbag in a Ford Fiesta?
If you are replacing the air bag, then this means it deployed. This also means that as soon as you connect a new one it may or may not deploy prematurly. This could be a very dangerous repair. Take it to a professional and have them install it.
2001 Ford Escort cam timing belt tension?
Loosen the tensioner bolt, let the spring loaded tensioner contact the belt. Then tight the tensioner bolt.
Where is speed sensor 1998 ford escort zx2?
The speed sensor is on the top of the tansaxle. The speedometer driver gear and speed sensor is combined as one unit in the tranny. Be careful pulling it out. Others have done so and dropped the drive gear down into the wells of the transmission effectively keeping the shift levers from operating. You will probably have to take the battery and box out to get to it. You may also have to take the intake tunnel out.
Where is the fuse for the cigarette lighter in a 1994 ford escort?
The cigarette fuse lighter in a 1994 Ford Escort can be found in the fuse box. It is usually labeled with accessory or cig.
How do you replace tail light on 2002 silverado?
open your tailgate. there are two Phillips head screws along the side of the bed that hold the tail lite housing in place. remove those and you can pull the whole housing out giving you access to the bulbs. pull the harness off and twist out the bulb in question.
2001 s that will not shift to 2nd runs fine in first and reverse?
assuming you have an automatic transmission, the most probable cause of your shifting issue is a faulty valve body. The valve body houses the control solenoids for shifting. The valve body also directs fluid to its correct location when needed. there are some instances when replacement of the solenoids can cure the issue. If you have access to a OBD II scan tool. check for stored codes for faulty solenoids. The Saturn dealer sells a valve body package complete with instructions on how to replace the unit for around $700
Change rear wheel bearing 1999 ford escort zx2?
Its easy Pull the wheel off you will see a center nut undo it and pull it off repace
Is the engine on a 2001 Ford ZX2 an interference or non-interference engine?
It is non-interference. I think some mechanics say it is an interference type because one of the major repair manuals incorrectly states that it is interference, it is not...
disconnect the battery for 45 seconds . That will reset the system and allow the AUTO to light up and receive new gas. Once the refrigerant level is correct, that particular light should turn off, and the a/c system should begin to work properly. If not, you can always use a scanner from Autozone, Dicount, or O'Reilly's Auto parts to try to fix it. Hope that helps! Avoid system sealers and leak stop. These products are band-aids, not repairs. Leak sealers react with air. If there is air in the system, the leak stop will congeal into a thick green jelly. www.acpartshouse.com
What causes a clicking noise when alcerating?

What type of oil should you use for your 93 escort LX 5W-30 or 10W-30?
the oil you use depends on the time of year and conditions. oils such as 5w30 and 10w30 are called multi viscosity oils, fancy talk that means the ability to get into the engine varies at different temperatures. 5w will flow quicker than 10 will in cold weather. there are also oils with only one viscosity rating, such as 30wd which is primarily used during the summer. as u can tell your choice is either 5w30 or 10w30. the critical numbers are the 5 and 10. 5 means the oil will flow into the engine quicker when the temperatures are cold. 10 works better during the milder times of year. 10 indicates the relative thickness of the oil when cold and 30 indicates the relative thickness when running, so for most of the year a 10 would work fine and 30 would not get too thin when the engine is warm. 5w30 is used in the winter time. 10 w 30 or regular 30w will probably work spring summer and fall usually a manual will advise on this, or some auto stores will point u in the right direction good luck it also depends what type of driving you do, and where you live. if you live somewhere hot and make longer trips, 20-50 might be a good idea. I live in the desert and use synthetic 20-50 from Quaker State or Castrol. this car calls for 5W-30 although 10W-30 is good the 5W-30 is a thinner oil and better for colder weather Look in your owner's manual it should tell you. The ford motor corp. recommends 5w30 on most of the 4 cylinder cars.
I'm having the same problem. I replaced the ignition module, battery, mass air filter and the computer and it still stalls. I notice it happens more frequently while driving after or during a rain storm. I am going to have to check the crankshaft sensor and most likely replace them. From what I have read that seems to be a problem related with the eldorado stalling out.
Calibration and computer component in some cases cause the eldorado to stall.
Also, the fuel rail and return line may be leaking, which there has been a recall involved with this issue. This can cause fires and be fatal. The recall number is: 04V110000 Eldorado
Ford Escort engine fits in a focus?
I bought a 2001 Focus 2.0 SOHC vin P for my daughter with a trashed cylinder head and block. The blocks are slightly different but will work. One of the water pump bolt holes is different and the side of the engine towards the firewall don't have the mounting for the Focus carrier bearing on the Escort block. A bracket support must be fabricated for the carrier bearing of the right drive axle. The Escort crankcase vent must covered since the Focus block is also blank. Focus water pump to Escort block will work you just need to drill one extra hole top left of the block. I found out the cylinder heads doesn't interchange but are both SPIs, head manifold bolt patterns are different. Also the engine mount is connected to the head and also will not work vice versa. The engine to tranny matches perfectly. I used a 98 Escort block to 2001 Focus and the car runs great with these modifications. I just have to keep an eye on the cooling system. As I've read on the internet, overheating is why the valve seats falls off and why I end up with this project.
******************
What you are doing is both illegal and ill-advised. The engines do NOT interchange, since they don't have the same mounting points. It is illegal to install an older engine in a newer car per EPA regulations, as well as an engine that was never installed in a regulated vehicle. In many states this is an automatic emissions fail. Fabricating bearing and engine mounts is not something that should be tackled by an amateur mechanic.
What is code 214 on a 1.9 Ford Escort?
Cylinder ID circuit error. Refers to the cam sensor on the rear of the head, PCM, ICM and related wiring. My research indicates if one must guess, replace the cam sensor, its cheap and a common fault. Also check wiring and connectors to the previously mentioned components.
How do change a timing belt on a 1996 escort?
We really need to know which of the three possible engines you have, but here is a rough outline:If you have a 1.9 or a 2.0 SPI engine (not a 2.0 ZETEc)Jack up the RF corner of the vehicle and remove the RF wheel. Remove the front motor mount located on the rightfender apron and support the engine by the oil pan using a floor jack with a block of wood(You will now be able to jackthe engine up and down as you need to). Remove the serpentine belt and if there is a belt tensioner in the way of the timing cover, remove it too. Remove the crankshaft pulley and remove the timing cover. Remove the old belt, and it is recommended that you replace the water pump at this time as well. Line up the crankshft timing mark(the keyway will be pointing straight up), and line up the camshaft timing mark(an arrow cut into one of thewindows of the gear lines up witha dot on the cylinder head). Install the new belt onto the timing gears. Set the tensioner in place. Turn the engine over two complete rotations of the crankshaft, and then recheck the timing marks for correct alignment. (a little fussing getting the crank back in position is normal.) Getting the marks lined up right here saves a lot of do-over work!. Reasemble the cover, serpenting belt etc. in the reverse order as disassembly.
A 2.0 ZETEC engine requires special tools as there are no timing marks of woodruff keys for the camshafts.The valve cover has to come off, and a special alignment tool used to line up the cams.The crankshaft is lined up using a special tool inserted into the engine block through a holethat is exposed when a plug is removed.
AnswerIt can be difficult even with a strapwrench to get that damper pulley bolt tight during reassembly; without an impact tool. Be sure to use a dab of red locktite on the threads. I almost lost my damper and if the slot for the damper key on the crankshaft were damaged it would've necessitated replacement of the crankshaft!!! By design luckly (damper metal softer than key & crankshaft), all that was damaged was the damper... it was replaced.What does it mean when the dash board brake light stays on?
depending on the car, it can mean a couple of things. For example, the hand brake is not fully disengaged, or the sensor isn't registering that it is disengaged, it could also mean that you have one of your primary brake lights out or in some models, it could indicate that there is a malfunction or deficency in the brake system in which case you should have it checked.
How do you drain a fuel tank on a 1997 Ford Escort LX?
Fuel tanks usually don't have a drain, so either run the car out of gas, remove a fuel line and direct it to a bucket with the ignition switch on, or remove the gas tank and take the sending unit out and pour the gas out of that. Those are the three possibilities I can think of, hopefully they work for you. Hayden
How do you replace an ignition in a 1995 ford escort without a key?
First remove the steering wheel and the 2 column covers.
Locate the 3 multi-function switch connectors behind the instrument panel and disconnect them.
Remove the screw that fastens the switch to the steering column.
Carefully pry up the tab that holds the switch harness retainer to the bracket on either side. Pull the retainers off the brackets.
Take the multifunction switch off the steering column.
Disconnect the ignition switch electrical connector.
Remove the switch screws and take the switch off.
Installation is the reverse of removal steps.
Where is the PCV valve located on a 1998 Ford Escort SE Sport?
IN FRONT OF THE CAR LOOKING AT THE MOTOR. CHECK BELOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO THE RIGHT WHERE THE ENGINE AND TRANS BOLT TOGETHER. IT'S KIND OF HIDDEN. ALSO MAKE SURE THE MOTOR IS COOL WHEN CHANGING, IT IS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE MANIFOLD.
Check the manual transaxle fluid in 95 ford escort?
1) Locate the speedometer cable attachment to the transaxle (just behind the intake manifold on the drivers side USA models) 2) Disconnect the electrical connector form the speed sensor 3) Remove the screw and retaining clip from the speedometer cable (completely move them out of the way so they do not fall into the transmission) 4) Remove the speedometer cable 5) Fluid should be between the top and bottom of the speedometer cable gear 6) Fill as needed 7) Check o ring on the speedometer gear housing replace it if it is damaged 8) Re-install the speedometer cable assembly, retainer, bolt, and electrical connector Remember the Escort uses automatic transmission fluid in the manual transmission for the 1991 - 2000 models' If you want to change the fluid Drain the fluid (drain plug on the bottom of the transmission) Re-install the drain plug. Remove the speedometer as stated above Add 2.9 quarts of Mercon ATF to the transmission Re-install Speedometer cable
