This video was a waste of time.

Best car for the money that was better than the 2 cars mentioned in the ad and better than a Cadillac then before then and till the end of those models

Doesn't come close to the "She was out all night with the Grand Marquis!" commercial. :)

Some times I drive my girlfriend nanna car it's a 2007 grand Mercury ls

It's way easier than what these guys make it look like 🤣

name of the song?

Not really fair to compare the Grand Marquis to the Electra and 98 - those were premium luxury models, like the Cadillac DeVille and Lincoln Town Car. The Olds Delta 88 and Buick LeSabre were more closely aligned with the Grand Marquis demographic.

I've got the same powertrain in my 1983 Lincoln Continental Mark VI. Very reliable! The 302 V8 is no neck snapper, but is smooth, efficient, and dependable. The AOD transmission is also very durable! Panther platform cars are just plain good!

What size socket did you use to remove the nut securing the brake rotor/wheel bearing assembly from the shaft?? I have a 1986 Lincoln Town Car that uses an identical front brake rotor as yours. Also the size of the caliper bolts

Thank you for showing us to easy part of removing the alternator what about the hard part about removing the power steering pump and Reservoir

These were comfortable and very reliable cars.

What was the wiring kit you used? I can’t seem the find the right one

I love this Mercury Grand 1985. Beautifull car and sexy

I have a dog just like yours!!! :)

Bought new in 1985 and again 1989 and I went back to that model in 2007 for the final time. All three automobile's was well made and dependable! Thank you

Thick plastic doesn't count as thicker wire!

Hi sir just want to ask what radio you used to replace this? fits perfectly.

They missed the point of the shot of removing the bolts like how many an where they come from. they worry about the pup but not the job. smile. go to Roberts site to see this step by step. thanks

i can work on them... but..... lots of factory rigged stuff.... poor engineering for sure on the brackets !!!!

How did you undo the bolt at the back of the alternator (the one down low)? It took me all day to undo it on my V90 (which is very similar to the 850 around the alternator). It's certainly a good idea to make a note of where each bolt belongs and whether it has a nut or screws directly into the structure.

Me gusta el carro,es un Ford Conquistador 1985

Great cars! Gotta love the beach boys

Guys, thanks for putting this out there. It's great that people help each other out like this.

Not a bad video, but a few details missing. I hope I can help fill in some of them. The cover behind the lever is pulled by hooking around the rear edge, because it has hooks on three sides (top, bottom and front). Then you remove the torx (proper term - not 'star') screw behind the cover. the window switch assembly it also pried up on the rear edge, or else you break the hook on the front. Then you'll see another torx screw. There is a screw on the rear edge of the door panel, behind a cover, and two at the bottom (that you show). Those are a #2 Phillips head. After prying off the handle cover, two more torx screws are visible for removal. Then you remove the mirror inside cover by pulling towards center of vehicle. Then you can lift off the door panel up and out. You'll notice the door lever cable and lock switch wires are still attached. This is when it's easier to look from behind and see how the lever and switch assembly are held on to the door panel. So remove it by pressing the clips from behind, where they hook on to the door panel. These are the tricky parts I can think of.

Can't wait to take my kids there because I just moved back from out of state. Last time I was there in 2011 I wonder how much has changed?

What type of exhaust do you have?

A quick google search should have revealed the (short) list of possible culprits on the 1996 Volvo 850. 1. Front driver's side wheel ABS sensor. 2. ABS Module failure. 3. Wiring fault. 4. Fault in instrument panel. The transmission speed sensor is not used to drive the speedometer, but is an input for the TCU - if it fails, your speedometer should still work just fine, but the flashing arrow warning light on the dash will appear. This setup is also very common on modern cars from any maker. Of course, you can be EASILY forgiven for thinking otherwise, since this is counter-intuitive.

its a Volvo if you cant work on them then these are NOT the right cars for you ! ive owned 3 and they get awesome mileage and run forever ! just when you don't know what your looking at and where it goes and you need to pay someone else thats when these cars are money pits... I think of the s70 / 850 as big model cars they are super ez to work on but you do need to be mechanically inclined ..

Given a little TLC, there's no reason why these vehicles shouldn't easily see 400,000 miles.

gta19901 - Of course it's worth it. Heck, I'd rather have a Bosch alternator vs. a "Doesn't-Last" (Duralast) one from AutoZone. AZ offers you a lifetime warranty, because they know, come two years from now, you'll be changing it again. This Volvo is a turbo (AKA T5 in 1997), & is rated at 225hp. Everyone has to start somewhere, when doing repairs on an unfamiliar vehicle. If you think this is fun, wait until you have to change the dreaded rear main seal. Volvo's are known for this, being a 100,000 mile maintenance item. Basically, you have to take out the entire transaxle (transmission). However, if your goal is simplicity to keep it going for right now, please, for the love of God, check your timing belt! Access couldn't be simpler; there's only one 12mm bolt to loosen, & the plastic cover simply slides right up. Being that this is an interference engine, if this belt either slips out of alignment or breaks, your engine is fucked. The valve stems will either be ejected out of the top of the engine, or they'll bang into the pistons & get all bent up.

HMM STILL WONT CHARGE AFTER REPLACEMENT SORRY ABOUT CAPS KID BROKE KEY BOARD BROKE

Did you guys figure it out? I know if the abs sensors on each wheel hub stop working or the wire is unplugged will cause your speedo to not work

Thanks for this video. My passenger front speaker just stopped working on my '09 this morning. Gonna do some troubleshooting this weekend by swapping the driver and passenger speakers to see if it's the speaker or wiring/head unit that's causing problems. This video will save me a bunch of time trying to figure out how to take everything apart! Seems pretty much 90% the same as my Mustang was.

The speaker size is between 5"x7" and 6"x8". Pioneer sells specific "ford" compatible speakers for this.

This video helped me a lot but has some flaws. Some basic tips on the order : Remove the windows button trim, the trim on the large handle (that does not open the door), and the side view mirror trim (black triangle over the door panel). Then remove trim behind the door handle (one that opens the door). Then remove 4 torx screws (t-30). Then remove 3 Philips along outer edge of door (2 visible, 1 behind cap). You DO NOT remove the trim around door handle (one that opens the door) till after you have the whole panel loose and 6 inches away from door. (its much easier that way). Pry the door panel away from the door using special tool, or however you choose. (there are 7 plastic white connectors that can be replaced if broken) . Finally with the door panel hanging slightly away from the door you can remove the door handle trim from the back of the door panel.

Email me how tos with pics @ [email protected]

so you dont take the interior door handle off at all? you just hold it in the "open" position and slide the door panel over it? im going to be changing my interior speakrs soon... and will probably make a video as well. any tips?

welcome

Nice truck @ 16:45. "Oh look at that truck" Thanks

sweet

My dad had an '86. Same color as this.

thanks

Beautiful!

not worth puting a new one in it the car has 286,000 miles
