Thanks I appreciate the input. I will probably go the junk yard route since I checked the cost of a new one and about s***. Or, I may contact a guy on ebay who says he has lots of Mark parts. I bought a manual so between your help and the manual I suppose I can get it done, Thanks

Fixed I bought a new govenor. The swap was super easy. The knee pad under the steering column needs to be removed. Then the govenor is in plain sight. It pries off two metal prongs. Remove the connector, plug into the new one, snap back on the two prongs, and walla, fixed. This was my problem...

Thanks for all the input. I have tried all but the govenor. Cleaned all the connections, etc. That only leaves the govenor. I have found that even though the wipers now turn off when the stalk is returned to off, if I use the washers, they will not turn off unless I turn off the ignition...

Imo I bought a 98 Mark VII in Dallas. I drove it back to Wichita Kansas and my back was killing me. I got rid of it as fast as I could. This is my input in case you are considering 97-98 seats. I undersand the seats in the early Mark VIII were different from the later years. Just my opinion. I...

Solved? I sucked out as much power steering fluid as possible and refilled with new fluid. The moaning is mostly gone. A good alignment seems to have resolved the steering issues.

Thank you for the link and the input. At this point, I will replace the bearing as preventative maintenance (part is only $16) put in some of the Lucas Power Steering stop leak - even though I do not have a leak - since there is an opinion that it will stop the whine. If that does not solve the...

Further investigation reveals that the moaning occurs only when the power steering is under load. If I turn the steering wheel enough to make the power steering pump "work" the moaning begins. If I stop turning the steering wheel, the moaning stops. My next cheap fix is to replace the idler...

Sounded like a good idea, however, the screws that hold the wiper motor to the firewall is insulated from the wiper motor by rubber gromments. The only ground I can find is the wire from the motor to under the top left mounting screw. So, it sounds like the govenor may be the problem which is...

Sounds kinky? Probably not. My 92 LSC has a low moaning sound from the front at low speeds. Especially noticeable when parking. The car has 53K miles. I recently bought the car due to fond memories of an 89 LSC I bought new. However, it drives crappy. Wanders and has a funny feel just off...

Thanks Magic Al. Now if I knew where the governor was located, I would plan to replace it. Would you happen to know where it is located? Probably easier to replace than isolate with testing. Based upon the wiring diagram, it would appear to be the culprit.

Now What I just replaced the combo switch with a new one. Blue Springs Ford in Blue Springs Missouri was able to find one. Now the flasher works correctly and the turn signals are more positive, but still no intermittent wipers. Everything else seems okay. I thought the wiper motor just...

While not on a Lincoln, I had the experience on another car with the cruise being dead. The culprit was the switch that "kills" the cruise when the brake is depressed. It was a little switch that went bad. On this particular vehicle it was the same switch that turns on the brake light as well...

Thanks Thanks for the advice. I cleaned the ground (both ends and connection points). The wipers will now shut off via the switch except when I depress for spray and wipe. Still no intermitttent. I suppose my next step is the multifunction switch. Can you direct me to a thread as how to get to...

I have enjoyed this forum for a while. Lots of knowledgeable folks here. I now have a problem for which I need help. I have a 92 LSC. The wipers turn on, but do not have intermittent, only low and high. Plus, when the stalk control is returned to off, the wipers remain on. If the ignition switch...
