you guys (and gals) probably know this (for some reason I've just noticed).
Is the mirror control button as well as the down portion of the drivers side window control button supposed to be lighted or not?
Mine isn't.
Inquiring minds and all that.:)

My steering wheel, at the 12 o'clock position used to steer straight, now I have to steer at the 3 o'clock position to go straight. What is the problem? Alignment? The Malibu that hit me, hit me on my passenger side front rim on the spoke.

Can anyone give me any ideas what is wrong? ]]> Shop Talk Peter http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=65770 http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=65769&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:31:41 GMT Granny Marquis and I went to the show it was very crowded. I don't think they had any idea how many people would come. It was hard to get around hard to find food and drinks, and slow shuttle service. The people were still nice to us, and the place was stunning. It was a good trip for us in "My Lil Blue Friend". ]]> The Lounge Granddaddy Marq http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=65769 http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=65768&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:11:39 GMT These were installed two days before Kentucky this year.

I don't want to stay with the Silver Birch because it's too common with Grand Marquis sharing the color.

I am drooling over the 2011 Camaro's Silver Ice Metallic. Check it out.

Not sure if a big sedan can handle this "light" of a color.

I need a Black Grille Shell w/no teeth required - just a clean dent/chip/scratch free shell.

I have the price for the rest of the parts I need . I'm just looking for an extra shell so I don't have to hack my grille in case I don't like the finished product.

I hope there is someone within driving distance with a leftover grill shell from a badgeless grille mod.

Our rauder died today....

By way of background is a vortex charged car.

Been running just fine. Although we rarely drive it. Our son is home from California so he's had it out.

All of a sudden the car stopped running. Went to restart and it would only stay running by playing with the throttle; i.e. won't not stay running on its own.

Occassionally upon starting it would rev unaided to 6k rpm.

Throwing p0190.

Talked to our friend Lidio...he said check for vacuum leaks. The vacuum guage shows little to no vacuum.

Any ideas on what to check as I cannot get the rauder into Lidios for 2 weeks?

Also has anyone had their ignition switch fail; i.e. no stops just rotates..can find ignition and start but the key does not spring back after ignition...have to manuall turn back to run position.

Thanks!
