There are seals for the shafts and a gasket for the top cover. Auto parts stores can get you the parts you need.

Broken vacuum line from the engine to the controller.

No it sounds more like the starter solenoid sticking, give it a few solid tickles with a hammer to free it up.

1. Press and hold the OFF button for a few seconds. NOTE: On some models, this will toggle the display on and off.
2. Check to see if your car stereo has a dimmer setting, which can disable the display. If the car audio system does have this setting, try adjusting it to the different dimmer settings. Sometimes the dimmer setting is on the left side of the steering wheel where the lights are.

There is a blender that controls the air flow to go through the heater core for heat, and the evaporator for AC. It very well could be stuck.

You maybe able to try and get it to get unstuck by running the cars AC and switching from heat to AC back and forth and see if it gets unstuck. Just turn it on full blast and go from heat to cool.

If that fails, then you may need to service it. There should be a Lever Marked VENT under the dash, usually by the Brake and other pedals on the Driver's Side. Close the VENT and that will stop the Air from coming in and leave the A/C Blowing through the outlets(Vents).

I also read this online if you have an electronic climate control. "On climate control press off and heat button and let go quickly. Then press automatic. The display will start rotating eventually displaying a code 025,125 , 024 etc. Then press defrost to stop. You may hear blend door operating atb that time. It worked for my climate control."

fuse or light control module or flasher can

There might be a flasher for "Hazard lights" and one for turn signals. Probably same part, swap them and see if turn signals start working, and hazards quit working.

the switch reads directly into the gas line and any valve would defeat the purpose of having a switch there take it to an accredited ac specialist shop

if all other light are high in brightness, and 1 is dim, there is issue with the circuit, or the light getting ready to burn out, it also is drawing a little more current to the light.

Ignition key in circuit failure

Hello, my name is Steve and the bulb for the left and right turn signal is 1157 . This has the 4-way flasher/turn signals and Brake light elements in the bulb. if you are doing this yourself, make sure you look at the guide pins on the side of the base of the bulb and line them up with the corresponding guide. If you fail to do so, the turn sigal flash will be faster than usual. Take care on how you remove the bulbs. I hope this will help you, Steve

The voltage regulator should be inside the Alternator. At one time your could get a new regulator at Kmart just like a distributor cap or a thermostat. Then the manufacturers made disassembling the Alternator more difficult either by putting a pulley that required a lot of effort to remove or by using glue to prevent separating the 2 halves of the Alternator. Eventually the part became harder to find. It is now a lot like replacing the Diodes inside the Alternator. It is possible to diagnose them, but you need to find the replacement diode and then get the alternator apart to work on it.

I pulled this from the Ford Service Manual to help you replace your headlight assemblies. It is an intermediate-level task and novice mechanics may need assistance. http://www.thatonedude.net/fixya/96LincolnTownCarHeadlightAssembly.pdf

Haynes manual for your vehicle will tell you.

sometimes the plug to a wheel speed sensor got unplugged or a wire go cut... usually mounted on the steering knuckle by the outer cv joints right by the hub bearing so you'll still have brakes, but not anti-lock brakes until you trace the wiring and find/repair the problem

Possible could be the door lock actuator is out.(power lock motor)

Sounds like a start switch on the steering column, worn ignition tumbler, if it takes a few tries holding the key in the start position
