i had this problem with my 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo with the brake lights it kept popping fuses right after the ignition was turned on try putting a higher amp fuse in place of the old one that keeps blowing then check for shorts to the starter and check grounds and wires and also the transmission issue check the fluid and then if the fluid is fine change the transmission filter the filter may have not gotten replaced when the transmission was rebuilt and may be clogged or dirty

Do you have a check engine light on. With that mileage I would start with spark plugs. You might end up replacing a coil or two.

Yes it is. They will need to be drilled out. Thats the best way, some people try to put bolts on, but I dont advise it.

The 5 digit entry code is in the trunk, on the left hinge arm that holds the trunk lid.

The blower motor might be bad,turn it on,high blower,and bump the blower motor body with the palm of your hand,if it starts to run,or tries to run,then replace the blower motor.

I just came up with that exact issue in my 2003 with 98K police crown vic. And the last time I had this issue in a 2001 police Crown vic it was the crank shaft position sensor. A $20 part and about 30 mins to put it in. located near the bottom of the engine. I had to un bolt the A/C compressor and push it out of the way a few inches to get to the sensor. If you have about 100K mile on it and its an idled heavy police car, this sensor should be changed out anyway. It can leave you on the road dead and some dealers have a hard time find out whats wrong as the OBD 2 does not see it as a problem when it goes bad or becomes touchy as I think mine is.

There are actually two fuse boxes, at least on my 01 Vic CVPI. The primary one is under the dash on the driver's side and to the left of the steering column. the second one is under the hood near the battery. Your owner's manual should have a diagram as what fuses control your car's accessories. Hope this helped! Bill

im having the same problem on my 2001 corwn vic pi
