  1. Anyone know what the heck is going on over there at the once upon a time, huh?
  2. With the key in and in any position the column shifter wouldn't budge. Speaking of budge, I took Les's (stitchdup) suggestion and jacked it up drag it away from the wall to access under the hood. Waiting for the battery to fully charge now. Thanks..
  3. Yes it does sound like an actuator door stuck. I have to deal with on my '94 Silverado, it stops after a few minutes, but from what a mechanic friend of my brother said not to worry it's probably a safety door to keep carbon monoxide from being trapped in the car.. we'll see when the battery is fully charged.
  4. Ace in the hole is not a reference to Bill being broke or falling into a sinkhole.
  5. I found out it might be a safety actuator fan. So I disconnected the battery from the car and put it back on the battery tender. Now time will tell.
  6. Got the car drug back enough to pop the hood and get a battery tender on it. Now I'm hearing a drumroll kinda noise coming from under the center of the dash. The noise goes away when the key is in the ignition and turned to the on position it stops. 🙄
  7. 🤔°°That could be a viable option I hadn't thought of, I'll have to get a larger floor jack as the current one is for smaller weighted vehicles. Thanks Les..
  8. I am in need of some advice about getting a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis with a dead battery into neutral so it can be push back enough from the garage front wall in order to access the hood and either replace or charge the battery. I went to YouTube with no luck, many videos but none that are exactly like the mechanism I'm seeing. I have the rubber access cover around the ignition and column shifter swung out of the way to view the internals. Most videos show a pin that needs to be pushed down to release the gear shift but I'm not seeing that pin. I've attached a photo of the internal mechanism. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Mike
  9. "Bribe?, why no sir officer, I was just merely asking you about this hundred dollar bill that I speculated was a bookmarker that musta fell out of your ticket book sir", said the nervous priest illegally parked in a NO PARKING zone at the All Boys School for the Blind.
  10. Alabama is known as "Sweet Home" according to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
  11. Ditto to the tee, I believe it was also 2024 Christmas our local Walmart had a cardboard display, I did score the AMT '55 gasser then, but once they were gone, zip... no more. As for the nearest Ollie's, high crime area, so nope not worth going too.
  12. "Runs like a top", said the salesman while he had his fingers crossed behind his back, but little did he know I wasn't gonna make any of the payments anyway.
  13. Hand me that post hole digger, I'll finish the fence and you take a brake, No wait if you take my brake I won't be able to stop my car, so go ahead and after your break get your butt back to work.
  14. Is all this talk about budge making a traffic jam on interstate 1 sentence and causing drivers to rethink their route? ⬆️ my sentence ⬆️
  15. equally exciting as watching NASCAR is watching turtles cross the road.
