I purchased a 93 Town Car and love it to death.. I just hope it's death is a long ways off. My questions are....
I have the keypad on the door, does this mean I also have remote keyless entry?

My air conditioner control buttons have been used too much being it is Arizona and I can't see what they read....only the white light shows. Where can I get a replacement for this automatic climate control for my dash.

What should I be looking for to prevent major troubles down the road? You know, a little PM on the car before it goes from Lincoln to F.O.R.D (fix or repair daily)

Thanks for the help from you friendly computer nerd here in AZ. :uhoh:

Yes, you should have remote entry as well. You can get the remotes off eBay for about $15 or less.

I've seen the AC controls on eBay too.

As for PM... that depends on the miles you have on there right now. The most popular and expensive item to fix is the transmission. The fluid and filter should be flushed and changed every 30k miles regardless of what else you hear on PM intervals. There is an exception to that rule, if you've never done the flush and you're up to 100k miles the flush rinses out the necessary varnishes used for friction at that late stage in the game, resulting in slippage and transmission failure.

Air bags need to be replaced every 80k or so, also recommended is the air dryer, and new bag solenoids. If you don't replace leaking bags, the compressor overworks and dies a premature death.
