Ford Probe

The dome light and floor lights on a 94 Ford Probe will not go off if the door is open or the door sensor has not been tripped. The lights can be manually turned off but the sensor should be checked for defects.

The neutral safety switch is located on top of the transmission at the gear selector cable attachment at the front of the engine compartment next to the battery box.The connections are accessible by removing the battery and battery box. The switch also acts as a range finder and actuates other signals to the electronic control module as well as the starter interrupt function.

There is a small ignition module (relay) that is built into the distributor that is notorious for burning up.....

Replace it.

Bad engine Rings are worn

Bad valves Do a compression test (both wet and dry) to determine which is bad

Brand New 1993 Ford Probe right off the show room floor cost me "$29 800.00"

water could have gotten into the spark plug holes. water + spark= no good. Only a few spark plugs could be firing, take them out, and check for water.

Depending what vehicle and year you have, if the cat was failing on a 1996 or newer GM vehicle it would light the "check engine" light.

Assuming this is the 2.5 litre V6. First you will need 7.2 quarts auto tranny fluid. Next, a drain pan capable of handling at least 6 quarts of fluid. Drive the car a short period to heat up the fluid, this will also help to extract any sediment in the transmission. Locate the drain plug (to the right of the tranny "cradle"). Place the drain pan under the the drain. (WARNING) Fluid will be hot. After draining, replace the drain plug. Use a funnel and add fluid to the trans dipstick. Add fluid a little at a time continually checking levels. Turn on engine and shift into all positions (P through 2). Turn off engine and check level till it reaches the notched area. Enjoy. CE

go to the autozone site and check the two part numbers. if they match it will work. if it does not match it won't

i just had this problem with my 93 probe, the rear view mirror fell off. i couldn't get mine apart either. I went to pepboys and they said there's a clip that you can't get to, but pepboys does sell a "button" all by itself. It' was like $4. Buy that. It takes about 5 minutes total to put it on. You'll just attach the new button to the windsheild, and the old rear view mirror to that.

The E.G.R. Valve is located below the intake manifold, close the throttle body between the engine and the firewall.

I owned a 1993 probe with an automatic transmission. It did not have an EGR valve. I gutted the car and replaced the complete wiring, suspension and running gear with manual transmission out of a 1994 SE, the 94 had the EGR just as stated above. It also changed it to an OBD2 diagnostics port.

if the car is an automatic,it's on top of the transmission where the shift linkage connects to the transmission.look to the left and in front of the air cleaner box

The old battery was bad it could cause a power surge and plow the main fuse.

Power Probe is dedicated to give automotive technicians information and plenty of useful content in the realm of "how to" videos to become a trusted source of accurate information. While the videos are free, we do use our diagnostic and circuit testing tools in each segment to show mechanics how to diagnose and repair common problems faster and easier. These videos are NOT commercials, they are completely focused on repairing vehicles. Our innovative tools are put to the test and reviewed in each video. Our blog highlights these free "fix it" videos at: www.powerprobe.blogspot.com

Oil level over full or clogged or defective oil filter. Drain the oil and change the filter using a quality filter such as Motorcraft, Purolator, or Wix. Ad the correct amount of oil for your Probe with filter change. More than likely 4.5 quarts. Check your owner's manual to be sure. Can also be coolant in the oil, especially if you are loosing coolant with no apparent leak and the engine is overheating. Can also be a defective oil pressure sending unit or oil pressure gauge.

Counter clockwise Is that counter clockwise to tighten or loosen? (i.e. RH or LH threads)

It may mean that there is something wrong with the electronics of the transmission. =============================== A flashing OD light usually means that there is an error code somewhere within the engine system. My '91 Probe speed sensor went out, and the OD light continally flashes. The car also will not shift into overdrive. This may or may not be the same in your case. Best bet would be to take it somewhere and pay ~$80 for the diagnostic, or pull the codes yourself. Do some searching and you should find out how to pull the codes with no problem, as it usually only involves jumping some wires on the test connector under the hood. On my Probe, the connectors are near the drivers side strut. Basically, the car is in "limp" mode, and a default code is being used in place of what its supposed to be getting from a certain sensor, in order to keep the car operating. Kind of like "safe mode" for Windows. Hope this helps, and good luck. -Shaun

in the fill p;ug just above the drain plug half way up the trans and use gl4 synchromesh

The Ford GT can come in the colours Black, red, yellow and white.

If there is not bleed valve for the coolant you will have to do it manually. Fill the radiator up and start the car. After it warms up the coolant level will drop, refill it.
