Does anyone still have these cowl screws available? I'm looking for a set.

Does anyone know the part number of the lower blend air door arm? The grey one located down by the glovebox. I'm looking for a replacement...

I created an account on AVIC411 but never received the validation email so it won't let me access it. I've tried used to have it resend the validation but so far no joy. I've checked junk mail folders and written the site admin but so far am still locked out. It looks like w really good forum...

I found a screen on the AVIV-8100NEX under System Information which shows speed pulses (3d Calibration). When I first stumbled on the page it showed the head unit had received pulses so I ran a temporary wire back to the grey/black wire, pin 58, on the PCM and took a drive. It is reading pulses...

I'm trying to tie a Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX into the VSS on the Mark. It shows it's pin 58 (GREY/bk) on the PCM (VSS+) but when I hook it to the Pioneer it still doesn't see it as the VSS. For the fun of it when I "unspliced" the gr/bk wire I left it disconnected and took a drive. My speedo...

I'm picking it up tomorrow and will then put it on craigslist. You are right, I shouldn't have waited this long but...

Not yet. It had to have the keyboard and touch screen replaced. Kenwood didn't have the keyboard and had to manufacture it. That's been the big delay. I plan on giving the detail shop the bill for repair and then sell it on Craigslist. If they don't take care of it then I'll file in small...

I had the Mark VIII detailed last summer and the shop got cleaning fluid on the touch screen and into the keyboard of my Kenwood DNX9960. 8 months later and I'm still waiting for the repair to the Kenwood to be complete. I have finally given up and replaced it with the Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX...

I have a 97 Mark. It’s still pretty low mileage, around 45k. On two occasions, early in the morning, I’ve had a hard time starting it and can’t for the life of me figure it out. When it happens, there is a “horrible” sound while the starter is turning over the engine, almost like a “grinding”...

I updated step 6. OOPS! I don't know what it will do if you enter the permanent code twice. Guess I can try. I've just about worn out my seat motor from playing with it! :) If you are programming more than one remote, I didn't have to re-enter the codes, just press which driver personality...

Whew! I figured it out! That was a pain in the rear! Thanks for the heads up! They left out the part about entering your own personal code. Without entering it, nothing will happen. Here you go! 1. Enter 5-digit permanent entry code into the keyless entry keypad. (This can be found on...

Programming Keyless Remote (Again!) Ok, I'm still having trouble programming a new remote to my 1998 mark. I received a new Driver #1 remote and the service manual tells me to: Ford-Lincoln Mercury Keyless Remote Programming 1. Enter 5-digit permanent entry code into the keyless entry keypad...

I had my remote transmitter go out on me. So I got out the backup one, which works just fine for Driver #2, but not for me. So I went to reprogram it (http://www.markviii.org/LOD2/remote97_98.htm) and after I enter the "permanent factory keyless entry keypad code" (found in trunk) and press...

I have a piece of side moulding that had the paint flaking off of it and want to remove it, get it painted and reinstalled. This is one of the short pieces attached to the rear quarter panel which stops other car doors from banging the heck out of the panel. Are these installed with snaps or...

I have a OEM cassette player for the Mark VIII. This one is for a 97-98 model. I don't have the trunk mounted cd player that ties to it but sometimes you can find it on eBay. If you want, I might be willing to sell it. My 98 has the OEM cd player, no cassette and I was thinking about...
