    Battery cut-off switch

    Over the last year or so, somethings been draining the sho's battery when I let it sit for a while. Last year I found the source of one of the battery drains but there's something else draining on it. Does anyone know of a quality battery cut-off switch I could order? I know several are sold on...

    Sho died on road

    Driving home, Saturday afternoon from doing errands, the Sho died and I couldn't restart her. The engine turns normally, the tach moves to about 500 rpm's, I can hear the fuel pump kicking in, but no go. I checked the reset button in the trunk, that seemed to be ok also. A police car pushed...

    Brake Lines

    First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Monday, I was about to leave the local mall when I lost the Sho's brakes. The brake pedal went way down and I could barely stop the Sho from 10mph. Checked the fluid reservoir, it was filled, and no brake light was on. Put...

    Hard Starting Sho

    I was just wondering, the last year or so there have been times when the Sho has been hard to start. Like last Saturday, after doing some shopping, it took (5) times for the engine to engage. The first (3) times, nothing, the fourth time, it ran for a second, then died. The fifth time it...

    Power Steering Leak

    My power steering fluid has been leaking and needs refilling. Can I use the generic type of fluid from the local parts store or should I stick with what's recommended in the manual. The generic says it's compatible with Ford systems. Also, the line coming out of the p.s. cooler looks wet from...

    A/C question

    Lately, after driving the sho for about an hour, the a/c doesn't want to cool as well as it had been an hour earlier. Since I've never had any service performed on the a/c since I bought the sho, would recharging the system solve the problem or should I get the a/c codes checked out? On...

    94 atx won't start

    Tuesday, after unloading the sho from shopping, I went to start it up to put in the driveway, but it wouldn't start. The dash lights came on but no cranking. After waiting for a couple of minutes, I retried and it started as usual. Today I went to start it up, the dash lights come on, no...

    Alignment and tie-rods

    Is there any benefit in having a Ford dealer replace tie-rods and do an alignment on my sho, versus having a reputable alignment shop do the work? I'm concerned about installing non- Ford replacement parts in this area. Thanx, John

    Last week my atx developed an oil leak.I brought it over to Chambers for their opinion and I'm going to be bringing it over to Ron's Auto. in Sturbridge for their opinion. Can anyone else recommend a competent tranny shop to bring the sho to? Thanx, John

    atx seal leak

    A few days ago I noticed some spots on the driveway which looked like atf fluid. I brought the sho to the local dealer to determine where the fluid was coming from. They said that the leak was coming from the seal between the converter and transmission, and would cost about $1500 to fix...

    Squeaking/squealing noise from belt

    Sometimes when starting the SHO for the first time during the day, there's a squeaking/squealing noise coming from the passenger side of the engine. It goes away after 2-3 minutes of city driving, but it seems to happening more and more. I guess it's from a belt/pulley, but does anyone have an...

    Cooling System Question

    The last week or so the indicator on my temperature guage barely makes it to the "L" mark on the guage after the sho is warmed up. Previously, it would rest between the "R" & "M". From previous posts on the forum, I guess the thermostat and/or sending unit is the culprit. Any other suggestions...
