The first law of thermodynamics:- Energy can be neither created nor destroyed it can only be converted from one form to another.
In any process the total energy of the universe remains the same.

Comment on Chevrolet Oil Leaks by Patti

I have a 2004 Monte Carlo SS, it has about 80,000 and my oil pan is corroded so bad the oil is leaking through. The dealer has denied this under the 6 yr 100,000 warranty due to it not being a body part. If I would have had a small rock hit the oil pan, all the oil would have quickly leaked out.

The service desk agreed this should be covered but sorry……… The replacement oil pan and gasket are 200 bucks, not to mention labor, having to get under the motor mounts to get the bolts, terrible design. This is why this company will not survive. I am an American car fan, next time I will buy Ford!

Melissa: Sorry I would have to see a wiring diagram. If the Town Car has automatic climate control that system can be quite complicated. If you do have ATC the factory auto repair manuals are the best way to go. They will have diagnosis and repair diagrams for the electrical side of the system.

I have a 1997 Lincoln Town Car, the air compressor won’t come on. If you put 12 volts to the low pressure switch it will come on and blow cold air, as soon as I disconnect the wire it quits. Are there any other switches or sensors to check? Thanks

I thought I’d just throw this out there. But alot of times mechanics like to get the cars towed to their location, and I just found out that U-haul sells out their old rental equipment, including their car carriers! I would highly recommend it!

It is possible for the ECM to cause the ac not to work. It’s rare but I have seen it before on a Grand Am. What makes me think that a second opinion is in order is the fact they evacuated the system.

If the clutch was not engaging do to an electrical problem, the shop should have never touched the freon side of the ac system. They could check pressures without evacuating. Second opinions on expensive repairs is always a good idea.

The AC in my 99 Grand Am also only blows warm air. I took it to a mechanic and they checked for leaks and evacuated the system. Now they are telling me that it is an electrical problem. They say I have to replace the ECM (electronic control module) and have it reprogramed but I am not sure about this. What do you think?

Thank you.

If you’re not sure what you are doing, take your vehicle to a professional auto mechanic. You usually get what you pay for.

But you should beware of technicians who aren’t completely up front and honest with you. If you suspect for one moment that you are being taken for a ride, ask for documentation for work done and get the car out of there!
