Remove the ground strap screw from the door behind the inside door panel near the front of door. Remove the left side window track on the door handle side, only 1 bolt holding it in located at the bottom left of the door. Push it downward and it unclips from the top track . Also remove the inside rubber lower window trim from the window frame. This needs to be done to access the door handle rod and see where the left side window track clips back in at the top.
You will now need to drill out the original door handle rivets with a drill bit. Do not drill out any larger than the size of the replacement bolts to be reinstalled in the new handle. You do not have to remove the key lock, the handle slips right over it.
Now remove the actuating rod from the bottom plactic connector, connected to the door lock by opening the connector . It just snaps open. Now you can remove the rod from the door handle itself. Install the new door handle with new sloted flathead or panhead bolts no bigger than 1/4 in" round 3/4 in" long to clear window track and window Glass. insert the rod back into hoor handle and clip it back into the plastic clip just as it was before you removed it. reinstall the door window track. So you can see what you are doing to connect it if your having a hard time dont forget to remove the rubber strip molding from the top of the door, where the bottom of the window is when it is closed. You can then see where the top of the track clips back in. Peplace door panel with caution. make sure all wires are out of the way, reconnect ground strap and that all the clips line up that hold the door panel on . reinstall the screw at the bottom where the reflector is.

The problem is your turn signal switch. It happened to me before, and the part costs about 160 to 250 dollars. I didnt bother to buy it, instead I made two switches for it that costed me 10 dollars including the wiring. Ive heard a lot of people have the same problem and fearing that it might happen again, i decided to do that. That happened to me and I disassembled my turn signal switch and cleaned the excessive grease that they put in it from the factory. It seems that the grease short circuits the light module. It just cost me a little time (about an hour). That cost is wrong, I just bought a replacement at Advance Auto Parts for 11 dollars, only took me about 5 minutes after I located the relay

Where is the fuel reset on a 1984 Thunderbird 302?
It should be located somewhere in the trunk, behind the carpet on one side of the trunk or the other. I don't know this model specifically but that's where most fuel pump reset buttons are located....I do know they act as a circuit breaker for fuel delivery in the event of an accident, being in a fender bender will trip the reset button as to stop fuel flow that could definitely complicate your accident.
