Electrical problems aplenty

[64falconcpe]

I guess that its time to pay the piper :bigcry: as I have been spending some quality time wandering around this site, checking up on specific problems that I'm not looking forward to addressing, but the time has come. Though in retrospect I have been extraordinaily luckly because to date other than the TIRE FIASCO and routine maintenience the only problems I've had with the car were the air pump and a bent wiper arm ( This on a, computer bank, oops, car that is, on the road 365 days a year in the snow belt ).

This winter was hard on the 03 and as a result I'm going to have to roll up my sleeves, brush up on my soldering and contortionist skills and have at it.
It, being the blower motor, tail lights, air bag system, LED,s for the door switches, back lighting on a couple of guages, brakes, oil pressure sending unit and a bumper to bumper fluid exchange.

Now the questions;

Does it matter what I use in place of the priemium gold antifreeze which I have yet to locate and refuse to buy from Ford?

Does anyone know which relay in the LCM controlls the tail lights?

Are the air bag sensors in the seat belts a common problem and can they be replaced safely?

Where would I look on e-bay to purchase an electrical and or shop manual for the Marauder?

Any suggestions on the best programmer?

if it has gold stay with gold.

whats wrong with your tail lights?

air bag's? better let the dealer fix that

you can order a shop manual from ford, or just do a search on ebay, or ask on here :)

You can go just about any auto parts store or wal-mart and buy Motorcraft Premium Gold antifreeze.

What is your tail lights doing or not doing?

As 4play said let the dealer fix that.

There is always a few PAPER manuals on ebay. Here is a combo of the main manual and wiring diagram. Get it while you can!!

Staying with the gold was my first choice I must be blind I'll look again for the anti -freeze.

I locked in at e-bay are you familier with that manual I would hate to pay 70.00 for the wrong thing. I dont mean to sound contrary I'm just poor.

Thanks

This is my first time using this type of posting so my first reply went ?

The marker lights are doing what others complaints on headlights are sometimes they are there other times not I managed to make them go out by switching from manual to auto and tapped on the LCM which made the relay trip and there was light

Those ebay manuals that I listed are the same exact ones I bought for my 04. I just re-read your original post and see that you have an 03, you can search for an 03 manual but they are going to probably be the same.

Sent you a PM about your LCM.

Hmmm, my car has regular GREEN antifreeze in it, that's what was in it when I bought it.

I run Honda Blue in everything I own, including the Marauder.. Runs about 17 a gallon but this stuff is fantastic. I will tell you this, make sure you drain and flush it and get the nose of your Marauder as high as you can. Forget the hill stuff, its gotta be so high your tailpipes nearly touch the floor.. I used the Repo (tow truck at work) to get the nose up and filled it thru the crossover and then the tank.
