Possibly a return spring is missplace and rubbing the inside of the drum.. remove drum and have a look. could be a wheelo bearing.. Anytime you have a brake issue.. Check it as soon as possible.

Check the instrument cluster fuse in the fuse panel. The solution maybe as simple as replacing a bad fuse. You can buy a replace fuse at the auto parts but do not downsize or upsize the rating of the fuse. Keep the fuse rating the same as the one you are replacing.

Hi, yes you can fix yourself. Follow the accelerator (gas pedal) cable to the carburetor, at the carb. there should be a spring (this could have come off) that makes the cable retract, have any helper push the gas pedal. You watch the movement in the engine area with the ENGINE SWITCHED OFF. Follow the movement of the cable and check for return action. Lubricate with spray lube on all moving parts. All the best.

your owners hand book will give exact details but usual parking lights are operated by the turn signal switch, when the ignition is OFF the turn signal switch is used to turn on the parking lights

Vulcan or duratec engine?

they don't do that yet. unless you have aftermarket stereo installed. then in that case check with manufacturer.

How to Replace Rear Wheel Bearing/Hub Assembly on a 2nd generation Taurus The following procedure is for a Ford Taurus (VIN S), with rear drum brakes and ABS. 1. Loosen wheel lug nuts, raise rear of vehicle, and support securely on jack stands. Block front wheels and remove rear wheels.2. Remove brake drum (parking brake must be off).3. Remove and clean ABS Sensor (Torx E8) with a spritzled rag.4. Remove grease cap from hub.5. Remove and discard hub retaining nut (36 mm). This is a compound nut, comprised of several nuts inside a metal cage. Use a 36 mm axle nut socket (e.g., OEM 25206). Many auto parts stores will lend you this socket. A 1/2-inch drive air impact wrench or breaker bar is necessary to remove the nut.6. Remove wheel bearing/hub assembly from spindle. It easily comes off by hand.7. Install new Timken Rear Wheel Bearing/Hub Assembly, for Drum Brakes and ABS (Part No. 512162). Tighten new axle spindle nut (Dorman 05114) 221 lb.-ft., replace grease cap, and button everything up.

If its all the windows at the same time, it's most likely a fuse or the actual main switch on the drivers door.

Hi sounds if you have sticking brakes jack up wheels make sure all wheels turn freeley.cheers Ron.

Depends on which engine you have. Dual Over Head Cam (DOHC) seems to be .054. The other 2 options are .044. Usually it will be printed on a sticker under your hood and also in the owners manual. Be careful some types of spark plugs that they make today are not adjustable. Hope this helps.

Normally when I see this it is in a vehicle that uses a Computer chip in the key as an anti theft measure. The chip is going bad and when the ignition loses that signal it starts cutting power or goes to valet operation which only allows driving the vehicle a maximum of 5 miles. If you have a key with a chip then you will need to order a new one from the dealer and get it programmed. If you don't the problem is most likely the ignition itself.

Does it crank or click, when it wont start?

I would check the fuses and relays. If you still have your owners manual, there us a chart in there that shows which ones control those items.
