Hi Dean: Odds are really good that your local parts store (ie Canadian tire) will have a book with the make, model, engine size that will tell you the appropriate plug AND the correct gap. Even if you just want to reset your old plugs, the info would be available, AND FREE!!!

FIRST I WOULD CHECK THE HORN FUSE OR RELAY ...CHECK YOUR OWNERS MANUEL TO SEE FOR LOCATION PROBABLY UNDER HOOD IN A RELAY STATION BOX.IF THOSE ARE GOOD..THEN POSSIBLE BAD HORN ITSELF OR BAD CONTACT BEHIND THE DRIVER AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL.

Can be several things. None are good. Oil seals on valve stems are a potential problem. A bad head gasket can leak if the design has oil passages in the heads. The last reason would be oil rings on the pistons. There are some ways to test to determine which of these 3 problems it is. The tests can be done by a Mechanic and involve pressurizing the inside of the engine in different ways to see which part is at fault. About the only positive news is that there is a difference between removing 1 head and removing both heads. You only need to fix the side of the engine that is bad. The good side can stay sealed. There are products which plug oil leaks internally if the gasket is the problem and you may not need to tear apart the engine if the additive works.

Confirm that there is no debris hung up in any of the linkage (any where). If the ignition key locks the tranny shifter, then this can be your focus -- something has come apart at the key barrel (inside column. (if not) Then check the linkage that the brake disengages to allow the tranny linkage to be moved. (if not that) Check the tranny linkage to ensure all pcs are still in place and have clips in place.

remove the clips that hold the radiator support cover and remove the cover look down at the top of the light assembly and you will see two or three clips that hold it in just spread the clips or use a snap ring plier to get them out and remove all three and remove the headlight assembly the bulbs are held in by twist lock connectors push in and turn DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW HEAD LIGHT WITH YOUR HANDS THE OIL FROM YOUR SKIN FRIES ON THE GLASS AND BLOWS OUT THE BULB WASH YOUR HANDS FIRST THEN DRY THEM HOLD THE BULB IN PAPER TOWELS below are photos of your stuff the clips have little legs on them that fit into the black plastic adjusters shown in the center of the headlight I couldn't find a photo of the other side showing the legs but you'll see them when you look down at the back of the light the snap ring pliers fit into the holes on the tabs you see and then spread the clips for removal

Sounds like a multifunction switch, work the emergency flasher button up and down a few times, then attempt to work the turn signals if the signals work then you will need a multifunction switch.

Most likely the Idle Air Control Motor, but you could have other issues suck as a leaking fuel pressure regulator, bad EGR valve, or massive vacuum leak.

Normal for this car,shifts into overdrive about the same speed too.

reading forums on this reveals that the h9 is a 3.55 limited slip diff mainly used in f150 fords. However all that is immaterial as what you are looking for is a diff centre that is 3.55 ratio that will fit in your housing . The same housing will use the both LSD and normal diffs as the LSD was an option offered for off road vehicles or vehicles operating in bad road conditions

Ford Crown Victoria Alternator Wiring Diagrams

With the engine off, key off, try to turn the front part of the AC compressor (not the pulley and belt, but the front part of the clutch). If it cannot be turned, the compressor is seized up and needs to be replaced. If it turns freely (there should be a little resistance, but turn easily by hand), the problem may be electrical- A short in the wiring, or defective engine ECU.

Remove the seat from the car so you can work on it Otherwise your removing the seat covering

It is doing its job(blowing when there is more current flowing than there should be). What circuit is that fuse in? Whatever the load is(light switch, radio, etc) has an internal short or the wiring between the fuse and the load is shorted to ground. Also never replace the fuse with one that has a higher current rating. That's when you start melting wires and other things that you don't want to melt. Good luck!

has the cable been reconnected properly

May be your multi function switch( directional switch),possibly a bad fuse,a LCM (lighting control module,a black box by the gas pedal,or maybe a plug pulled out of the module for some reason.
