AnswerTypically there is no drainplug on transmissions. That's where a large drain pan comes in handy.
Loosen the pan bolts slowly, and more at one end to direct drainage that direction.
Kinda messy...

Why does the engine temp go down after warming up?
When you start the engine, the thermostat is closed. After the coolant warms up the thermostat begins to open up allowing coolant to flow thru the raditor. When first started the temp will go a little past what the thermostat is set to open at. After the water begins to flow thru the radiator, the temp will fall to whatever the thermostat is set at.
The thermostat holds the coolant in the engine until it warms up. As
soon as the engine is warm, the thermostat opens allowing cold coolant
outside the engine to mix with warm coolant. The temp drops, the
thermostat closes again, until all the coolant is warm.

Where is the daytime running light module located on a 1998 Mercury Sable?
From: http://experts.about.com/q/Ford-Repair-811/1997-Ford-Explorer-XLT.htm "Unfortunately, the daytime running lights are in the wiring harness and if you do not have the module, you will need to take it to a garage to program it into your system." I'm not sure if its also accurate for the Sable. However, if you run into a problem where the lights won't turn off, you can also pull the fuse for DRL. It is in the fuse box under the hood. A 15A blue mini-fuse, next to the Maxi-fuses and toward the front of the vehicle (on my car, at least). | | mf mf | | | | Maxi Fuses | mf (mf)| mf's & relays | relay & diodes | | | mf mf | | | | |(**) mf | | | In the crude diagram above: (**) - DRL fuse (mf) - empty socket for mini -fuse mf - mini fuse

There isn't a fuse for it. That'll be powered... for that model year, it'll be powered by the engine ECM (newer ones will be powered off the dash cluster module). So you can't just pull a fuse and disable it. But if you're trying to pass emissions, it wouldn't work anyhow.

Why would the daytime running lights on a 97 Ford Taurus - Mercury Sable stay on?
I own a 1997 Ford Taurus and the same thing happened to me. The best answer that I received so far is that the module just went capoot (shorted, burned out, whatever). The default status for the module is "Steady On, High Beam". The quoted cost for the replacement part for me was $166.93 and the part had to be ordered. Not wanting to invest that amount of money yet, I pulled out the fuse (located under the hood) during the day and plugged it back in at night. I later found that I could leave the fuse out and just turn on my high beam when I drive at night (result is the same being that the default is "High Beam"). (I have to be inconsiderate for my short 2 mile drive and it's not every night). There are some postings out there explaining how to bypass the module. It appears that in some places it is illegal to do so. There is an increasing amount of consumers that see this module as an unnecessary expense forced on us. I don't know if you were expecting a technical answer to your question or not. Capoot is as technical as I can get. Good Luck!
