just to update, yeah you are right the code is in the switch, i noticed that the code was stickered on the original switch, and sure enough the code was stickered on the replaced switch, works fine now... BTW before I discovered this I called the local ford/lincoln dealer service and they...

has anyone had the same problem with the drivers side door mirror, its doing the same thing as the rear view, anyone get that replaced as well?

Hey everyone, I recently changed the master power window switch on my 96 continental with one from a different vehicle(a 97 conti), it works fine but my factory keypad code went out, it only responds to pressing the 1/2 five times,and all the other buttons function correctly, but it doesnt...

thanks for the reply..wow, I would of never thought...but i did think it might be something to prevent chopping...is that the reason? or there is no reason? Anyhow, I dont know the code of the car the part came from, i bought it off a parts place on ebay...but I do have the VIN# on the parts...

ok, had this car for almost 3 years and have gotten used to its quirks, as i was able to attribute them to something "real" like bad switch, leaky vacuum hoses etc...but this is weird... Recently changed a bad power master window switch, used a 95 conti switch..(i have a 96)it works fine...

Thanks, I'll try it this week. The tail light cover, I'm guessing, is the brake light cover in the center of the panel, right? I hate working on the interior of these cars, everything breaks so easily, and its hard to, if not impossible, to get some of these interior parts/clips. I'll try it...

Would anyone know how to go about removing the rear window deck panel so i can replace the subwoofer speakers?, I removed the panel in the trunk and can see the amplifier and the two speakers, but apparently you have to remove the deck inside the car to get to the speakers, any help would be...

So after reading all of the replies I decided to call strutmasters, not that I was going to have them do it cos they are about 900 miles from Hot Springs, AR, Anyhow, I called them and they found me a repair shop that has done this before in my town, and the quote I got was actually $50.00 a...

Hi Everyone, Decided to do the suspension conversion kit on my 96 conti.. Its just getting worse...lowering faster,check warnings come on all the time now. Im not doing it myself, but a mechanic said the labor charge would be $430.00 for all 4 wheels, if I supply All the parts necessary. Does...

Thanks, I'll do that, before bringing it in somewhere, those chilton manuals used to be good, like in the 70's

Hi Everyone, Was wondering if some one could tell me how to begin troubleshooting the climate control unit for vacuum leaks or other problems. The Chilton manual doesnt mention it except states that the car is equiped with a safety that allows the defrosters to work in case a vacuum leak...

Yeah..I'll just get an estimate on repainting/resealing the problem areas, mainly two areas, and would be happy if they could do that for 250 bucks. $2000 for the whole car sounds "fair",I guess, for a very good, flawless job,$5000 is like - for one color? the same color?. MAicos $250 sounds...

...The clear coat is flaking all around the edges of the areas and if you touch it or scrap it off it turns into fine crystals. The paint inside the areas are totally gone and even pitted. The areas that arent so bad just looks like the clear coat is disintagrating. Just wondering, being...

Sorry, I dont...I had to program a 96 using the entry #'s so there was no jumping.I'll try to look thru Chilton book, but I doubt it'll show anything that specific.

These instructions came when I purchased one for my 96 Conti.They listed a bunch of instructions for different makes, models..Here what they say for a 94 Conti: Turn ignition to RUN or ACC.Momentarily jump pins in programming connector located behind glove box. All doors will lock then unlock...

Hey Everyone-Bought a 96 Continental about six months ago-cosmetically, the only problems are these spots where it looks like the paint is dissolving, a big patch on the roof, and smaller spots in other areas. I wax the car religously to prevent the spreading, but I think that its getting worse...

My 96 Conti has a similar problem.Yeah, Auto zones employees are not qualified to help with anything..but they did the free check and I got a code P1131, Lack of upstream heated O2 sensor(bank 1). i bought one for $65.00 and a mechanic installed it for $25.I didnt know the car had 2 upstream...

Thanks, I guess the mechanic could of installed the sensor in the one that wasnt bad, or, they both are bad. To get more specific,Would anyone know which O2 is bank one? How would I locate a bank one upstream sensor from a bank 2 upstream sensor? Would it make sense to replace the...

Can anyone tell me how many O2 sensors a 96 continental has? Got a service engine soon light..code said it was an O2 sensor, the front("before" )one. HAd one replaced, less than 100 miles it went on again, reset it, about 100-200 miles, on again. Could there be more than one front sensor...
