  1. Make sure headlight switch is turned OFF.
  2. Remove the bolt at the end of the headlamp housing.
  3. Pull the two black tabs with the L shaped bracket toward the back and then up and pull out(Located at the back of the headlamp) to release the headlamp assembly from the vehicle and pull headlamp assembly forward.
  4. Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb by pulling it.
  5. Remove the bulb socket retaining ring by rotating it counterclockwise.
  6. Remove the bulb from the lamp assembly by pulling straight back.

    Do not twist, as there are alignment slots built into the lamp assembly socket.

    It may take some effort to remove the lamp because it has a rubber o-ring type seal - try a bit of wiggling side-to-side

  7. Insert new bulb into headlight assembly - don't touch the glass - use gloves, paper towel, or similar

    Make sure that the flat surface of the bulb socket is facing upward, and is firmly seated

  8. Re-attach retainer ring by rotating clockwise
  9. Reconnect the electrical harness
  10. Re-install headlight assembly - hold snugly into place until the brackets line up and retainer pins can be pushed down

NOTES
  • Do not touch the glass of the new halogen bulb - the oils in the skin will shorten the life-span of the new bulb, or possibly cause the bulb to explode when first turned on

    If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol before being used.

  • This procedure is well detailed, with illustrations, in the Owners Manual.

    See "Related Questions" below in case you can't find yours.

TURN SWITCH TO LAMP ON POSTION AND PRY OFF WITH SCREWDRIVER THEN PLACE KNOB BACK ON AT 180 DEGREES FROM WHERE YOU TOOK OFF AND THEN TURN TO OFF POSITION THEN TURN AND HOLD FOR THREE SECONDS AND IT WILL RELEASE LATCH IN CHIP AND SLIDES RIGHT OUT

This sounds more like a headlamp switch assembly suggestion than one for the actual headlamp assembly. Mine is a 1997, and it calls for turning the assembly retaining ring counterclockwise (when viewed from the back of the assembly), unplugging the wire by gently lifting the latch while pulling, and then removing the bulb.

The procedure for changing the headlamp and turn signal bulb on a 2000 Sable Wagon is to remove the headlamp assembly by first removing the small hex screw that holds the assembly to the body and then remove the two clips that look like half moons and push down through the body to engage the headlamp assembly. Simply pry both of these straight out and remove the entire assembly. Undo the electrical connections and twist off the retainer for either the headlight or turn signal bulb. Reverse the procedure for reassembly.

This procedure is detailed and illustrated in the Owners Manual - See "Related Questions" below for more

Check the tires - especially the rears. Chances are really good one of them has had the steel belts separate.

Replace Ford Taurus dash lights?

This is a tricky job. I have no idea why Ford buried the console access under so much junk, but there you are.

First, remove the upper and lower steering column shrouds.

Then you must remove the radio. (I know, sounds crazy, right?) If you're unaware of the procedure for this, find some long nails that roughly match the diameter of the four holes and insert them. Inserting the nails releases some clamps, allowing the thing to come loose.

Once the radio is out and disconnected, undo the four bolts holding the surrounding plastic (black, runs to steering column).

Now you should be able to unbolt and remove the duct covers surrounding the dash.

Remove and unbolt the dash meter unit. You'll have to disconnect the cable that links the gearshift to the gear display (It's just a loop that unhooks). The whole thing will pull out enough for you to unplug the electrical leads and separate the whole thing.

From there, it's just a matter of replacing burned out bulbs.

Don't forget to recalibrate the gearshift cable upon reconnection!

QUICK FIX If the dash lights are out and you see two green arrows: A solid slap with the palm of your hand on the left side of the hump forward of the steering wheel works every time.

In a Taurus or Sable - how can you tell which fuse is for the radio without a fuse box cover or a manual?

The radio fuse on the 02-03 model Taurus is a 20 amp under the hood. There is 2 rows of small fuses running from front to back in the middle of the box. Its the middle fuse on the first row(on the passenger side of the box). Mine only had 3 fuses on the 1st row and 4 on the 2nd but that depends on your cars options. Ford sucks for not labeling there owners manual better, anyhow hope this saves someone the trouble I went through finding the fuse. have a good one.

See "Related Questions" below for more Answer look in your owner manual under fuses it is probably a 15 amp Open the fuse box inside the car and there should be a list of each fuse on the inside of the cover. I am unsure, but I THINK the fuse box is near the passenger door. Anyway, if you know where the box is, you can find the fuse.

2002

There are two fuses. Look in the owners manual fuse chart. The radio fuse is labled "Cell Port". It is a 20A fuse in slot #17. The other fuse is labeled "Rear Power, antena"

It is a 5A fuse. There is only one and they are both under the hood next to the battery.

How do you fix a obd 2 code 1131 on a 97 cougar 3.8 liter engine?

Consider:

Check for, vacuum leak or loose hose at throttle body or MAF sensor. Favuum leaks are common and may present a hissing noise. If you can spray carb cleaner near intake gasket, on vacuum hose, or intake hose someplace where it changes the sound of the engine you have found your leak.

Check for an exhaust leak. Exhaust leaks have a very distinctive sound.

Check for a misfire. Your car shakes.

Check for faulty or damaged MAF sensor:

-Runs better with MAF sensor unplugged or:

-Banging MAF sensor with your fist whilke engine idling makes a change in sound of engine or:

-Remove MAF sensor and look at the wire. If it isn't clean and shiny silver color, it is contaminated. Clean or replace as needed.

Bad oxygen sensor upstream (before cat) bank one. Bank one is the side with cylinder #1.

Water or extreme temperatures affecting sensor operation. Remove water or wait for weather to improve or replace sensor.
