1. Mr.O I'm learning more about diagnosis I just need service data but im a diy so I am only going to get it for one car that I own but thank you for teaching me that was a great diagnosis and learning session

2. Ford Panther platform. The last decent cars. Thanks Eric O.

3. Second note , Eric The Bumper cover is an " After Market " .The car had some sort of an Accident. Possible?

4. Eric, My 92 C/V had a no start, no one could figure out . The car was old and I was ready to
   junk it. I went looking for a replacement. The guy ran cabs and sold used C/V's too.
   He told me to look above the front bumper reinforcement, to the left of the radiator {when facing the car} . I took the bumper cover off ,opened the harness . There were four broken wires. I fixed the wires and the car started right up. P.S., The gas door did not work before
   but low and behold it worked after I fixed those wires.

5. Be careful storing your T-pins in that hat!

6. If I can do it, you can do it Eric, that is not a truthful statement

7. They got a good deal as you also fixed the lumbar feature on the seats. A dealer would have replaced the whole harness which as you know would be $$$$$$$

8. Gas door??? I remember rear license plate and a tube AM radio

9. Enjoyed this one too. I don’t know where you get your patience

10. Why not borrow from the power side of that trunk release switch?

11. Nothing wrong with that repair Eric.

12. You have such patience. I am taking a lesson.

13. YOU HAVE JUST EXPLAINED WHY NEW YORK FOLK MOVE TO FLORIDA.THE FUNNY THING IS THE RUST AND CORROSION ACCELERATE WHEN THE HEAT/HUMIDITY FROM FLORIDA(PLAN ON NEW CARS WHEN YALL GET HERE)

14. Note to self: Dont even think about owning a vehicle that has a complicated method to open the fuel door.

15. It's all about the green shmoo

16. Come on Eric. You had the fuse box flipped over and saw a bit of salt. Spray it with fluid film while you're there. Grrrr

17. You can even use self-fusing tape. 33+ does rule.

18. This fella cracks me up…in all reality probably a fella would go to if I lived there good vid

19. How did Mrs O know how much to charge the customer seeing the car has only just been finished and the customer is on their way ?

20. I am very thankful that I don't live in your climate. I don't think there was any choice in doing what you did with the wiring. Love your diagnostic skills.

21. Either that shop didn't crank down the drain bolt or they double gasketed the filter. boneheads

22. Crusty reminded me of our1995 Ford conversion van, NEW battery kept dying, alternator not "sending" charge to it. Factory service manual(paper) was used to find that Ford ran the voltage sense wire right next to the battery tray(driver's side IIRC) and over time it was quite crusty and ended up opening. Did the solder/shrink/seal repair but fortunately not inside of a harness or tight area. Thanks for the fuel door circuit tracing, I'll have to glance at that area the Lincoln TC here next time under it.

23. Fungi for a fungi 😮 . Ok

24. Most of the time, it is just easier and less Stressful to just remove the Radiator Cap and replace the Car under it

25. Ya I did the old overlay myself a time or two 😊

26. I think Ford wiring is the best travesty except for the old Lucas systems they just didn't like to work at all.

27. I am hungry…it looks so good!!!!

28. Electrical tape on a socket. "It's handier than a pocket on a shirt".

29. Commander Cody!! Who woulda thought someone else knew that song!!!!

30. That's a neat idea wrapping the tape over a small piece Thanks

31. Amusing thought:

    My parents had the '05 TownCar, almost identical to this one (probably same colour). Seeing the deer meat reminded me of the time they got into a fight with a deer (hit one on the highway). It was a tie. They were able to drive it home (still $3,000 damage of course), and I believe the deer popped up and ran for the ditch..

32. Nice job.
    I can remember the gas tank filler tube being behind the license plate, and some of that earlier truck being in the cab behind the seat back.
    Man am I getting old. lmbo

33. One of my favorite musicians, Bill Kirchen, guitar player for New Riders of the Purple Sage that did “Hot Rod Lincoln”. Real gentlemen, too!

34. That wire repair will outlast the car, no problem. Good one Eric.

35. I can remember pulling the License Plate down to get to the Gas Cap…..😲😬😂

36. As a Shop Owner you do what the Customer wants……🤪🤪
