My 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX has never given me problems. I just had the brakes done today (new pads, rotors, fluid) Then, when I park the car, I shut it off and exit. When I click the "lock" button on my remote, it does not work. I look inside and the clock is still running and my windows will roll up and down. I had to disconnect the battery in order to save power to start it up. Any ideas as to what is making it stay on?

Front end shakes when pushing the brakes hard at high speed

You most likely have warped rotors. You can get them turned if there not to bad but if they are real bad then you'll need new ones

2006 f150 brake warning light stays on

Same problem, it's the fluid/parking brake light so you can't scan for codes, it shouldn't happen, just had the brakes done. The shop monkeys can't figure it out. Help.

The car squeaks horrible when i brake. worse after a good rain

i would inspect your brake pads and rotor. if the pads dug into the rotor, then it would be cheaper to buy a new rotor for around 28 dollars at advance or autozone.
if the pads are good, then i would jack up the car, shake the tire up,down then left,right to see if it is a bearing. while you got the tire in the air after its jacked up...spin it by hand; if no sound then its somewhere in the brakes or brake caliper.

Car still pulls to left when breaking. rotors and

check that you do not have a collapsing flex line. sounds like the most likely culprit.

Won't shift,seems like it's stuck in park

If it's not making horrible washing machine noises, it sounds like it's low on fluid. Make sure the ATF is in the operating range with it running in Park.
