Starting Trouble (kinda long but PLEASE read!)

[86VickyLX]

It was in 1995 that was deleted for sure. Cause they don't list the starter relay anymore. After that, it's one part.

Hi 86 VickyLX

Holy fucking shit I am talking to myself and nobody does read the entire thread!!!

Chuck Norris has a '93 TOWN CAR, it is as simular to your mom's 94 Crown Victoria as my cock is to a cabbage.

Hi Dereck

That was a killer thing to read 1st thing in the morning. Thank you for starting my day off on the right foot with some comic relief.

Yes the relay is gone for 95 as mine has it built into the starter.

Hi 86VickyLX

Man you do not give up easily but I am a tolerant man and I would be most grateful if you would indulge me for a moment.

Below is a picture of the engine bay on my '92 Town Car, build date 06/92.

Do you think you could do me a BIG favour and point out the starter solenoid?



Many thanks

Dereck

Wow, that's like IDENTICAL to mine! Really! Okay, I guess that wasn't supposed to be a suprise. Ya know Dereck, when you said it didn't have a relay or selinoid I decided to double-check for myself, because the Haynes Repair manual was confusing, not being very specific as to which year models had what. Instead of simply identifying it by year, it identified ignition systems by sprak system. That is confusing for a non-mechanic like myself, so I said, "Hey, I'll check after this Dereck bloke." I found no such part, so as far as I can see, you are %100 correct! Unfortunately, that means Loretta will be going to the shop instead of being repaired at home. :cuss: Oh well.

Okay, I'm wrong, I'm waving the white flag. You're right. Truce. Parts places can be so wrong. Sorry.

Parts places can be so wrong.

You just now noticed?

Don't be so discouraged, mang...

Dereck was only messin' with ya!

[86VickyLX]

You just now noticed?

:shutup: I know!! But I didn't think five different places would list the part as a separate component on the fender.

Hi 86 VickyLX

If it will make you feel better my 2000 Excursion has a starter solenoid/relay on the fenderwall

Hi Seneeb

Separate starter solenoid finished when the AODE transmision was fitted mid Feb '92, after that is is part of the starter.

Dereck

Hey Chuck Norris,

Just a thought have you tried round house kicking it :P

[1987cp]

Why, does that work on your car? If so, can I get lessons?

[Chuck Norris]

Hey Chuck Norris,

Just a thought have you tried round house kicking it :P

This is a very good point. But the last time I roundhouse kicked a car it flew up so high that it put a hole in the ozone layer and knocked the NASA Challenger out of the sky. I've decided since then that I would save my roundhouse kicks for skinheads and drug dealers.
