How to change a radiator on a 1996 ford taurus
-
Step 1
Drive your Ford Taurus
up a set of ramps onto a pair of jack stands, if it is a 1996 model or
newer. Remove the lower splash shields. For 1986 through 1995 models,
you can remove all necessary components from above.
-
Step 2
Begin by disconnecting the negative battery terminal and
draining the radiator into a transportable container. Open the plastic
draincock on the lower rear of the radiator and crack the radiator cap.
-
Step 3
Remove the overflow tube from the coolant recovery bottle and
disconnect it from the radiator. On SHO model engines, remove the
recovery bottle as well. Next unscrew the shroud and remove it from the
retaining clips. Disconnect the wires to the fan motor, and remove the
fan assembly and shroud in one piece.
-
Step 4
Squeeze the hose clamp ends together on the radiator side,
and remove the upper and lower hoses. For automatic transaxle models,
use either the custom Ford disconnect tool T82L-9500-AH or two crescent
wrenches to remove the transmission coolant lines.
-
Step 5
Disconnect the radiator supports. 1986 through 1992 models
will have two upper retaining screws for 3.0 liter and SHO engines. 3.8
liter engines will have two driver's side hex nuts and two passenger
side screws. All other models have either the upper screws or the
combination of right hand hex nuts and left hand screws.
-
Step 6
Tilt the radiator backwards toward the engine and lift it
out. Fit the new radiator into the support and replace the support
screws and nuts. Reattach the hoses and wires in reverse order.
-
Step 7
Flush the new radiator with either water or a commercial
flush treatment. Connect your battery terminals and replace the coolant
and let the engine idle for 5 to 10 minutes with the heater on and the
radiator cap removed. Top off the coolant as necessary.

Ford Taurus 1996 rear tail lights not working
First, check the fuses. If the taillight fuse is blown, check the bulbs. If both bulbs are blown (pretty rare to have both go out at the same time) then start looking at the wiring. If you need help with wiring diagrams go to
http://www.bbbind.com/tech_database.html
they have several online and they are free.
If you replace the fuse and it blows again, you'll have to find the short in your wiring.

You can have it tested or usual symptoms stalling when hitting bakes similar to major evap leak but when there isn't any leaks. Also can generate misfires but check plugs and coil pack first usually the coil pack if high miles then plugs if not regularly maintained. CPS doesn't go to often.
