Until these scantools can remove p1745 and p0868 transmission codes for a 62te transmission they're pretty much all the same to me.
Great video thanks
glad it was helpful
I’ve also seen some cases where you have to mash two particular locations on the cosmetic outer plastic to release a snap-in-place clamp. Then you’re able to see inner stuff where it’s more obvious to continue. I could not tell if this shower head made use of that method.
I appreciate the feedback... yeah, these showerheads all need maintenance and yet they make so many of them cryptic as to how to disassemble to that maintenance can be done. They clearly want us to throw away and buy a new one
Thanks, worked well for me too...
glad it helped
I’ve seen other people grease these up before install. Is that necessary? 2007 CVPI… also did you have to remove any other bolts on the bar to get it off ?
greasing them won't hurt anything... I probably soaked mine with 303, I don't remember. There weren't any other bolts to get this part, but I had removed the end links already as they were being replaced... but you can most likely do this job without removing them, it would just be much easier to do it with end links off
@@WJHandyDad I am changing mine today and I’m pretty sure mine are the OEM from Ford. Mine is a 2007 what I noticed after 2007 is the bolts changed I just pulled some 2011 bolts that come in one piece with the hanging connector. I might try to swap those out while I’m at it as well.
@@WJHandyDad got it all sorted out. Thank you so much again for the tips. Luckily, my car is not too rusty, its a California car so everything worked out nicely. 2007 CVPI C6 3.55
Thanks for sharing this. Will be trying it on Friday.
good luck, bring lots of patience with you when you go to remove that EBCM module!
How's it holding out
it didn't really last and then I started getting the typical Ford peeling paint so I ended up repainting the whole car.
@@WJHandyDad thx mate
Thanks for showing those electrical connectors close-up! I'm working on a different project, replacing the outside mirror, and have to unhook those to take off the door panel. I worked on it last night for 25 minutes before I got them loose. Arrrgghhhh.
hope it all works out
@@WJHandyDad Thanks, it did!!! Removed the door panel last night and replaced the driver's side mirror! Whoo-hooo !
PAINT BOOTH!
For others to ensure it is bad regulator motor: connect regulator motor to battery to test it to be sure it does not work
thank you fro this.
My club car is gas, but keeps popping out of reverse, Could it be the same issue?
sorry I don't know, never worked on a gas cart before
This is the video that helped fix problem. Only one I could find
I have the exactly same issue on a 05 Silverado. It appeared after I changed an o2 sensor and reset the codes. What did you end up doing to fix it??
yes, I had to send it off for repair... the EEPROM had to be replaced
What's the stuff you put on the trim? Didn't see it in the drop down. Have you ever tried solution finish?
probably 303 is what I used. Never heard of solution finish but I'll have to check it out
Hey bud, 2007 crown Vic interceptor C6 3.55 gears.. I’m in Austin. It would be great to link up sometime.
This isn't going to fill the cracks. You should've gotten a leather repair kit first, then recolor the seat.
thank you for the feedback
Do you know if the electronic throttle body crown vics can be converted back to the old style cable driven throttle body?
I don't know if it can be done "easily" but almost anything can be done to a vehicle if someone is willing to spend the money
If you want to use Motorcraft then it's Yellow antifreeze to 2004-2011 models.
yes that is the factory "spec"
hello please what is the first can that you poured before putting the oil is it oil or another product thank you in advance I have a dodge charger from 2014
I don't remember, but I usually either add a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil, a bottle of Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer, or something similar to hopefully prevent the dreaded Hemi tick
Had the same problem with mine brand new out of the box cleaned the gun filled it with base coat went to work last pass 2 big drops right on the trunk lid had to let dry sand and respray i wrapped a small microfiber around mine
Awesome tool, I need to look at buying one. Hurry up with the paint booth, have a OBS that needs paint.
That is fantastic with all the aging plastics around the car.
Up your voice,, no be skerry 😁 no be buddy hear you
Dremmel lol
Welcome back. 👍👍
It's just a really big Dremel....
I think Vevor should definitely send you a paint booth. That might keep some paint off the floor, walls and ceiling. XD
17:44 is that tool needed? And if so what's it called? (Edit) Found it. Thank you anyway and for the video.
This closely resembles my Delta brand showerhead, so even though the maker designed it to be totally user-unfriendly for troubleshooting, this video was very educational!
glad you liked... I've been amazed how many folks just thought I smashed it up and didn't catch that I showed how it would have been disassembled properly
Is there a block drain on these cars?
unfortunately I do not know and trying to find block drain locations on any vehicle seems to be a challenge (based on my prior searches)
@@WJHandyDad the 1zz in my corolla is easy
This is excellent! Thanks so much!
glad it was helpful
That dryer absolutely sucks for maintenance
I don't have anything else to compare to. I figured it was probably like that with most of the ones made in the last 10-20 years but maybe not
2009 cvpi got 20-22 mpg driving from city to the suburban golf course i worked at back then. I got 24mpg constantly when i had a job i commuted a long distance to. As a delivery vehicle it got about 15- 18mpg in a good sized city full of hills. Driving like a jerk blowing off steam it could get 12. I got about 15mpg towing cars on dolly
wow those are much higher numbers than I am ever able to get, even on long freeway drives best I get is right at 20
Had a hard time, leaving it inside the car for a few hours to heat up. (4 hrs. later I got it on) Going to let it break in a bit then try to center it better, thank you for the video.
heating up is a good idea
Locked keys in trunk, this was almost helpful good video though
Flex tape is a complete and total scam. Absolutely 110% does not work underwater. False advertising.
Yeah man, I think you should take your time and do some research before starting any of these projects in the future. You can change all of this by just pulling the interior lower control arm bolt, you don't have to drop the subframe.
I followed the shop manual instructions
If you had bought the correct version no drilling would have been needed you are correct
yes but this has been a bargain - still working great to this day
Mine works after a few or more pumps of the gas pedal. Would that be a new part needed also?
I mine brake pedal
I checked the specs for the Peak Antifreeze you are using and it appears to be Glycol based. Crown Vic's and GM's require HOAT (Hybrid Organic Alcohol Technology) based coolants. The reason for this is that the Panther platform engines have a cast iron block, with an aluminum radiator, intake manifold and heads. HOAT avoids making a battery out of the dissimilar metals, which causes aluminum to migrate to the cast iron block. Over time, this will cause your radiator to wear out faster and your heads to start leaking. Remember we are trying to get 300,000+ miles out of our cars. This is a time to go with Mastercraft Gold or use Zerex G-05. I buy Zerex for around $18 per gallon and flush my vehicles every 50,000 miles.
interesting... I have had zero issues running the "universal" coolants
Degreasers are another thing that have suffered performance wise from the old days. I'd like to try this, it doesn't seem to be available locally. "Clean".
Thank you im working on mine tomorrow, the same problem.
hope it goes well
Thx
Anyone know what's the right length of CVPI roof emergency light? I have MBPD Vic.

Another product I will use on my P71 and Brothers twin P71
i talked to one of my friends, he has a ford taurus police interceptor 2013, i have a 2017, mine and his trunk button doesnt work and apparently ford doesnt make harnesses for the release switch, guessing for safety rules for the police trims
interesting
This video is just if ur face blabbering on
My Explorer wires were never cut… I can hear a relay clicking under the dash near the fuse box somewhere, but I still have no horn I removed the driver side front wheel and looked at the horns and wiring, it’s all fine…
relay clicking means at least part is connected. Need to see if the relay source has power and if it's sending it, how far is it sending it before cut. I mention this because the Crown Vic door lock relay will click but not lock/unlock doors if the fuse is blown... so the relay is powered separate from the lock/unlock power
