2003 Grand Marquis - Panther stalling / starting problems 

Thanks for putting the work in for the rest of us that can't afford a mechanic. We appreciate ya👍

Mr. Joe, I cant tell you how grateful I am for this vid and all the work it took to find this problem. This is the only vid of its kind on youtube as far as I can tell and I cant imagine many folks going through this process to find a corroded wire. I had the very same issue, very same wire and you saved me a LOT of trouble. I took off the bumper cover and unwraped about a foot of the harness in the exact location you showed me,and there it was. My car is a Crown Vic but it was the same harness obviously. It was wet as you said and one of the yellow black wires had come off of the splice. Thank you, thank you sir!!! This was a real head scratcher. Grateful, Jack, Fayetteville NC.

That's excellent info to know. Thank You for sharing your experience and showing exactly what you found. This will probably save someone a boatload of time if they have this exact same problem.

Those splices should not be there anyway, the best way to prevent such fail points is to eliminate pieces in the system. I keep thinking of the old "built to fail " problem that keeps cropping up across all nameplates in one way or another. Great video and thanks for your hard work on this one.

Not the problem I'm having. Thank you for taking the time to post it good information

Great save! I followed the link over from CVN. The amount of labor involved in tracking down a bad splice would likely have been beyond economical repair.

Awesome job diagnosing the problem thank you for posting!

This is actually very very common in these cars

Pretty sure that yellow wire splice, that was full of corrosion, is also the same circuit for the ignition run. A have a similar problem, my MIL will do the same thing, but I don’t have any thumping sound. The way it does is the exact same way my vehicle does. I will get back to you on if this fixes my problem.

Thank u for putting forward the time and effort and sharing your findings with the rest of us who have been chasing this gremlin this seems to be a wide spread problem with these cars. My car runs great but will randomly shut off in the course of travel so my lady refuses to drive it as she don't feel safe when stalls n looses power steering.

Wow ! Good job lot of work !! My 05 crown Vic s wiring harness is wrapped tight and filthy just waiting for it to happen to me !

Thank u so much, u are awesome.

I own the Town Car version of these slobs. The best upgrade for them is to burn it or leave ir running and park it at the projects.

Thank you for taking the time to share

Nicely done

No b/s, we threw the parts cannon at it and everything has been a temp fix. I'll have a look at that and see whats up...thx bro! 👍

Thank you for this post.

Hats off to you, love you!
