TSBs

[RCSignals]

I found reference to the following TSBs that may be related to the MM. Can someone look them up?


Oil level FCS12178038 TSB 2003-8

Poor AM reception FCS12178037 TSB 2003-7

Poor AM reception TSB0220 TSB 2002-20

Suspension low in front TSB0221 TSB 2002-21

I saw no TSBs that had to do with AM reception. However, here are some others (and then some):

03-08-03 Engine oil level markings
03-05-05 Premature rear axle &/or bearing wear (vehicles built before 1/1/03)*
02-21-06 Harsh ride- front sits low
02-21-07 Airbag light codes b2290 &/or b2295*
02-15-04 carpet peeling off door panels (vehicles built before 6/10/02)*

*=member(s) had this problem (from what I have seen).
Hope this helps.

Wait just a second...let's not gloss over THIS one...what ABOUT the oil level markings?...am I putting in too much or not enough?

chrtra1, frdwrnch, jeff-mo, anyone?

Maybe check other "Panther" cars for the AM reception ones?

I'm intrested in seeing what the deal is with oil level markings as well

Could someone kindly explain to us what each TSB refers to and what should be done to correct it......I'm sure all would be grateful....Thanks,

The above TSBs come from the 2003 Grand Marquis (Marauder not listed). The oil level markings tsb (03-8-3) had to do with pre delivery.
03-5-5 will replace the rear wheel bearings (special labor operations and parts kit)
02-21-6 will replace front springs (special labor operations and specific parts)
02-21-7 states where to find the cause of the air bag codes
02-15-4 has specific labor operations and parts to re-glue the carpet back to the door panels.

hope that this helps

Roy,

Thanks for the update and if I understand you correctly, we do not have to be concerned about these TSB. Am I correct?

Thanks for the info on the TSBs.

What do the poor AM reception TSBs refer to? I know we've had a couple people here complain about radio reception.

[RoyLPita]

These TSBs are here just in case there is a problem. Some of our members had a problem that had a TSB to repair. The TSBs are there only for the technicians to get the job done right the first time.

I talked to a guy who takes care of all of our radio repairs and I was told that weak AM signals could be from the following:
1) security (titanium) window tint that could be grounding the rear defroster and antenna grids.
2)bad antenna lead from the instrument panel connector to the the back of the radio.
3)rear isolator (part of the audio system) could be bad
4)radio could be bad
5)the antenna could be unplugged at the glass (usually after getting the windows tinted)

hope this helps
