ok a few minor problems with my SHO that I purchased today (hey , for 500 bucks it runs good just needs quite a bit of TLC and some brake work :))

The sunroof opens, sometimes, and is also very slow at some points, etc. Any ideas what this could be/how much it would be to fix?

The back driver side window does not go down by either the master switch or the door switch - what causes this/how much am i looking at for a part?

I appear to have the stock headunit tape deck , with a ford 10 disk cd changer in the trunk, except i have NO IDEA how to get it to play cd's. WHAT DO I DO HERE?

The climate control does not work properly - it will not completely shut off , when you hit the off button, stuff still comes out of the defroster vents - any idea how much a new climate control unit is?

Thanks all
-Brian

sunroof - dunno....edit: the button could be cracked/broke, so when you push the button, the moonroof and stuff works, but your not turning the switch far enough for it to activate the motor....the plastic piece cracks on the sides where it attaches to the actual switch. Its a common problem..

back driver side window - prolly the window motor. You can get one out of a regular taurus/sable at a local junkyard for like 5 bucks if that. They are also on ebay and stuff...

ford 10 disk cd changer - didnt know they came stock, if so, dunno

climate control - is unit says off and it keep blowing out of the defrost, there is a good chance its the blower control module behind the glovebox and the actual climate control unit is fine. There is a way to test the climate control to check to see if its ok...dont remember where though.

Hope that helps...

i tested the climate control unit and that seems to be ok, so im going to assume its the blower control module, i will check a junk yard for that :)

im still baffled about the stock 10 disk changer, i mean, its definitly ford, and it could be aftermarket, but even at that rate, theres GOT to be a way to use it, its all hooked up and such lol

I have the 10 CD changer in the family SHO. We installed but we put the controller in the storage compartment under the stock HU. So just look for a wired remote that is a little bigger than a keyfob. I believe dealers liked to glue them to the dash. I would check under the dash if you still can't find it.

If you need any parts I have two cars I am parting. There is an ad under the parts for sale section of the form. Or just send me a message.
