Thats pretty cool! If I ever manage to get a camera maybe I could toss you various monies to print one up for me? No 3d printer  However some more weight savings has been applied to my boat over the weekend.

I broke the part of my key that attaches to a keyring so I got some blanks online and had em keyed for a few bucks. Tried programming the keys myself since I have two sets. After programming a new key the PATS light was supposed to light up for a few seconds but it didn't. Today I drove to work using the new key but I had the old key in my pocket in case it didn't work. 1) The key in my pocket was too far away to be read, right? 2) I must have programmed the keys right, right? Its hard to find much info, but it looks like using a non-transponder key in a transponder ignition will most likely cause it to crank and never start? The guy at the key shop mentioned something about the car possibly stalling too if the key isn't programmed. If I took a 20 minute drive on the highway should I consider myself safe? 3) Its possible for PATS to be disabled by a tuner but I didn't request it and I assume marty wouldn't do that by default. I also have a remote starter but it was installed by a reputable shop...those are only supposed to disable that PATS system for remote starts and not 100% of the time...right?

I'm not sure if my old keys were a cloned set or a proper 1+2 set. Either way as long as my car isn't gonna stall out randomly I'm good 👍

I do have a total of 12 (!!) tired wheels sitting around for this car so I guess I have no excuse! I just have to sell the original wheels that came with the car. I have 6 of em but they're not exactly cool so I don't look forward to getting rid of them. Cage fucked around with this message at 12:38 on Sep 12, 2023 |

Broke: Alternator died while driving. Took about 10 minutes to go from "hm, never saw a battery light appear on the dashboard before" to car dead on side of the road. Woke: Takes like 20 minutes to install a new one in these cars. Awesome!

We recently got some bitter cold and snow in the northeast, it's all good now and the car was a trooper but the first bad day when I did start the car up I didn't have any window function anywhere in the car. None of the doors will work any of the windows, and the drivers door switch panel doesn't light up anymore. Everything else works. There is a relay the seems to be just for the windows? 2005-2011: Circuit breaker: Power windows relay feed (RUN/ACC) Should I try anything else?

I have an 07, I've mostly been using this - https://fuse-box.info/mercury/mercury-grand-marquis-2003-2011-fuses-and-relay I can go check this fuse I guess - 9 2007-2011: Ignition (ON/ACC) - Door lock switch illumination, Heated seat switch illumination, Moon roof (2007-2008), Overhead console, Radio, Antenna, Electrochromatic mirror, Window relay coil My radio still works though so thats why I haven't looked at that one yet (and its cold). My next guess was a new driver's master switch so I guess I can stand to be cold for a little while while checking fuses before I try that.

None of my windows are working, none of the door window switches light up. Everything was hunky dory before the snow, all the windows stopped working at once. Tomorrow Ill just go pull a bunch of fuses I guess!

So about 6-8 months ago all my interior lighting went out. The fuse will instantly blow when I replace it. My power windows stopped working about 2 months ago. All signs are pointing to a short somewhere in the system, right? I'm going to check the wiring in the doors and the wiring around the visors as those seem to be most suspect. After that though I'm lost. I have a multimeter but don't know how to use it.

I swear sometimes I think this car is cursed.  Its at least 12 inches long. Happened while parked in my apartment complex. Luckily I have full glass coverage so I'm getting a brand new windshield put on tomorrow.

I have a beautiful new windshield now.  Had two little pieces of tape that I was supposed to leave on for a day. I removed it and a nice section of paint. :slap:  And now I have some less beautiful wheels that I'll be using for the summer.

I may have made an oopsie for myself. I have 225/60r17 on the rear and 225/65r17 on the front. I thought it wouldn't be a big enough difference but my traction control light came on when driving to work only when I was on a curve. Straight roads were fine. I'm signing a lease tomorrow so moneys tight for a little while. I'm aware my abs and traction control systems will not be operating at 100% but I won't be harming my vehicle by driving like this for a few weeks will I?
