ABS and tracktion control light comes on

these lights came on a while ago and we flashed the system as no apparent problem with brakes or control;now it came on again. Anyone have an idea what this is caused by? 2002 Tbird
Thanks

Re: Thunderbird specifications

it's one of the sites I usually go to first when looking for/at a car;also if it fits in the garage , by size :) My '76 Wagon fit by less than 1/2".
They will also add/change info if you supply them with it.

Re: Barret Jackson auctions

I do check www.Hagerty.com every once in a while, their valuation page; as they insure older cars plus ask at time of sale,private, what you got for your car;then they add the auction value results and come up with those averages for your car shown.

1965 Tbird Convertible heater core change

Car is running fantastic after all the work done last year;on a trip this weekend of course I sprung a leak on the heater core.
Does the dash have to come aprt for the exchange? What things to look for?
Appreciate it

Re: Moldy interior and rusty dash. Ideas for cleanup?

I have always had very good results with the Magic Sponge, available at all supermarkets in sponge section;or Costco has a 9pack available.
Works really well on plastics, and also on leather if used very lightly.

front wheel wobble

most everything on the car is finally done, taken it on test drives;at around exactly 45 mph, I get quite a wobble/shake on the front end, which subsides above 50 mph; we took the wheels and tires off, had them balanced 2 times, but wobble persists;all is tight on front end.

1965 convertible top problems

know that these are problematic; trunk lid comes up but top does not go down;we fixed the steering wheel connect as others had described , looked at all electrical and are still puzzled;any other thoughts what to look for? Appreciate it.
