How do you fix the cooling fans for an 87 Ford Tempo?

I assume they are not working. To see if the thermo switch is bad, turn the A/C on. The fans should then run. If they do not, the problem is more than likely a blown fuse. If the fuse is good, it may be the fan is bad. Connect a wire to the fan from the + battery terminal. If the fan runs, it is good. It basically boils down to three components. Fuse, Fan, Thermo Switch. One of these is bad, or you have a loose or corroded connection.

Why does my Tempo 2.3l leak coolant from between the block and the transaxle housing?

Answer there are frost plugs at the rear of the engine block between the transaxle and the engine. you have to remove the engine to replace these frost plugs. the frost plug on the 2.3 should be at the back of the engine block under the manifold. if you jack your car up, you can see it when you crawl under the car. It's closer to the driver side. It should have a wore coming out of it with an orange end. If your wire is missing it will look like a small brass cup with a bolt in the centre.

How do you repair a stuck driver-side power window?

My 94 Tempo's Driver window died, there are two main likelinesses. I believe telling the difference is as follows. If your window moves "somewhat freely" using your hands but the motor sound still goes, it is off the track and you need to take the door apart. If the motor is silent it is likely dead (that in combo with it still being on track ) and you need to take apart the door...to replace a motor.

1991 Ford Tempo will not start all ot the time. Wont crank solenoid clicks have replaced the battery and the cable ends and the soleniod. Any suggestions?

AnswerClicking usually indicates a lack of power getting to the starter. First, is your battery dead? If OK, check and clean all cables/wires to battery and starter. See if that helps. AnswerWell, it could be a cable still, if one isn't grounded properly, or if the wires are getting old maybe one is cracked inside the cable. Also it could be your alternator, if you have the car started, pull the cable of the battery, if the car keeps running the alternator is fine, if not there's your problem. If none of these are the problem you may have a faulty starter. Another cheap thing to check is the cable running into the top of your alternator, Fords are famous for those cables melting and wrecking (which can kill your starter/solenoid/etc.), if it's melted change it first, then try the bigger ticket items.

I have been having numerous problems of this type. Perhaps the "Bendix" or more commonly referred to as the starter solenoid-mounted atop the starter may be stuck. A quick way to check this is take the starter off and take it in for a bench test. If that is the problem. A simple rebuild may fix the problem. Cost about 45 bucks or so. Further, maybe it is the solenoid relay-located on the left front interior fender, behind the battery. However, if it is the relay, be careful to replace the wiring between the old relay and the new relay one wire at a time exactly. Otherwise, it may create a whole new confusion.
