Update on the Mercury, after charging the battery overnight and hooking the car's cables to the battery again absolutely nothing, not enough juice to light up the headlights. Went and bought a new battery and she's ALIVE and well again. Thank you to everyone for putting some insight into my debacle. Sincerely Mike

Cool they are, as the era of fins were traded for more muscle and less chrome.

I know this is What did you see in your yard today, and this wasn't in my yard but rather at our local landfill's yard. To cool not to share.

Four more that I sorta recently aquired that may count here. All complete.

us again, wow

Anyone know what the heck is going on over there at the once upon a time, huh?

don't hang with

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..

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.

Ace in the hole is not a reference to Bill being broke or falling into a sinkhole.

Wow man, tracers 🤪

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.

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. 🙄

ecstatic to be

🤔°°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..

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
