- Acid Rain/Iron Particle/Industrial Fallout TSB 99-12-10 by Ford for 96
- JUNE 7, 1999
- This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add vehicles and model years, and to revise the procedure to use Ford brand service parts.
- ISSUE: Ford Motor Company has released a private labeled material to be used for iron particle/acid rain service repairs.
- ACTION: To remove these particles/contaminates, use ONLY the following products and procedure. No polishing, compounding, color sanding, or repainting should be done before this procedure is performed. This procedure uses products that are acidic, alkaline, and neutral and must be properly mixed and used in their specific order. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
- SERVICE PROCEDURE
- NOTE: ANY CHANGES TO THIS PROCEDURE WILL CAUSE AN INCOMPLETE OR UNSATISFACTORY REPAIR. THE USE OF ANY OTHER PRODUCT OR PROCEDURE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO ALUMINUM OR PAINTED SURFACES.
- NOTE: THE PRODUCTS USED TO REMOVE SURFACE CONTAMINATION FROM PAINT ARE DESIGNED FOR VEHICLES WHICH HAVE EXPERIENCED EXPOSURE FOR LESS THAN 120 DAYS. VEHICLES THAT EXCEED 120 DAYS OF EXPOSURE MAY REQUIRE THE PROCEDURE BE REPEATED TO RESOLVE THE CONCERN. ONCE THIS PROCEDURE IS COMPLETED, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO PERFORM POLISHING OR REFINISHING PROCEDURES AFTER VEHICLE INSPECTION.
- IDENTIFICATION
- Ferrous metal particles (hot iron dust) are generated by manufacturing facilities, rail shipments, etc. These particles mechanically bond to a vehicle's painted surfaces. Moisture and temperature combine with particles to create a chemical reaction. This reaction creates an acid, causing the iron to corrode and enter the paint surface. Industrial fallout and acid rain generate corrosive compounds that fall on the vehicle's painted surfaces. When subjected to moisture and temperature, chemical compounds are created that etch the paint surface.
- To assist in identifying surface contamination, use a (Tandy-Radio Shack #63-851) 30x lighted magnifier.
- Concern Description
- Ferrous Metal
- Light Colored Vehicles: Small orange stains the size of "mechanical pencil lead." The surface is rough to the touch.
- Dark Colored Vehicles: Small white or silver appearing dots with a rainbow ring around the dot. The surface is rough to the touch.
- Industrial Fallout
- Water spots with ferrous metal are present and the surface is rough to the touch.
- Acid Rain/Etching
- Surface will exhibit irregular discolored spotting.
- Dark colored vehicles may exhibit cloudy or graying spots where the acid has begun to etch the paint.
- Extreme cases of etching will be visible and may be felt.
- Decontamination Procedure
- Use Ford Acid Neutralizer, Alkaline Neutralizer, and Detail Wash to decontaminate and neutralize the paint surface. Perform the procedure only on vehicle when the paint surface temperature is cool. Follow the step-by-step procedure listed below to perform this service operation.
- 1. Rinse off dust, dirt, and debris with cold water. Flush liberally.
- 2. Prepare Acid Neutralizer by mixing 8 parts of water to 1 part Acid Neutralizer in a bucket.
- 3. Use a clean wash mitt and apply mixture of Acid Neutralizer to the entire vehicle starting at the top of the vehicle working toward the side. Keep the vehicle wet with solution, lightly agitating for 5 to 7 minutes. For vehicles with severe conditions, work the product for up to 8 minutes.
- NOTE: USE A SEPARATE MITT FOR EACH PRODUCT. DO NOT INTERMIX MITTS.
- 4. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with cold water to remove Acid Neutralizer.
- 5. Dry only the horizontal surfaces of the vehicle at this time. Do not dry glass.
- 6. Alkaline Neutralizer is ready to use. Do not mix with water. Pour the contents into a dispenser squirt bottle. Squirt Alkaline Neutralizer directly onto a clean wash mitt. Do not spray Alkaline Neutralizer on the painted surface. Apply the product to the vehicle, keeping the areas wet and lightly agitated for 5 to 7 minutes. For vehicles with severe conditions, work the product for up to 8 minutes.
- 7. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with cold water.
- 8. Prepare Detail Wash by mixing 29.5 mL (1 ounce) of Detail Wash to 3.7 L (1 gallon) of water.
- 9. Shampoo the vehicle with Detail Wash using a clean wash mitt. Rinse the vehicle with cold water and dry the vehicle completely.
- NOTE: DETAIL WASH IS A HEAVY DUTY NEUTRAL SHAMPOO CONCENTRATE (pH 7) AND MAY BE USED FOR HAND CAR WASHING OR IN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH SYSTEMS.
- Surface Correction Following Decontamination/Neutralization
- 1. Visually inspect paint surface for evidence of removal of ferrous metal particles and water spots.
- NOTE: ACID RAIN DISCOLORING OR ETCHING WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES DEPENDENT ON DEPTH OF DAMAGE; POLISHING, BUFFING, COLOR SANDING, OR IN EXTREME CASES, REFINISHING.
- 2. Do Not Intermix Buffing Products. Use only one manufacturer's products.
- 3. Always follow the manufacturer's product usage sequence. Use the appropriate recommended pad at recommended buffing speeds as specified by the product manufacturer.
- NOTE: WHEN ATTEMPTING TO AFFECT A REPAIR BY BUFFING, POLISHING, OR COLOR SANDING, DO NOT REMOVE AN EXCESS OF 0.3 MIL OF PAINT FILM OR REFINISHING WILL BE REQUIRED. USE OF AN ELECTRONIC MIL GAUGE (ROTUNDA 164-R4025) IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO INSURE CONTROL OF PAINT FILM REMOVAL.
- 4. Use a dual action sander with a Velcro backing plate and a foam pad to fine polish and remove any swirls created by a rotary buffer or pad.
- 5. Use an alcohol and water mixture (1 to 1 ratio) to clean the buffed areas and to verify removal of scratches and swirls before application of the final polish.

- Air Conditioning Insufficient Refrigerant Oil TSB 97-10-5 by Ford for 93-96
- MAY 12, 1997
- This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include 1997 F-Series.
- ISSUE: Some vehicles may exhibit air conditioner compressor failure due to an insufficient amount of refrigerant oil in the system.
- ACTION: Whenever service is required on the A/C system, add the appropriate refrigerant oil to the system. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
- NOTE: USE MOTORCRAFT YN-9 REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR OIL FOR 1993 MODELS EQUIPPED WITH AN R-12 SYSTEM. FOR 1994 AND LATER MODELS USING AN R-134a SYSTEM, USE MOTORCRAFT YN-12-B POLYALKYLENE GLYCOL (PAG) REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR OIL.
- SERVICE PROCEDURE
- 1. Remove all refrigerant from the A/C system using the appropriate R-12 or R-134a refrigerant recovery equipment following the manufacturer's operating instructions.
- 2. Service the A/C system as required.
- 3. Check for Modification Label indicating additional refrigerant oil is already in place.
- 4. If no label was found, add additional clean refrigerant oil (over and above the amount of oil required for the system being serviced). The oil may be poured directly into the accumulator assembly or it may be injected by the refrigerant charging station, if so equipped.
- 5. Recharge the A/C system using the appropriate refrigerant.
- Obtain an Authorized Modifications Decal (FPS 8262 - orderable through DOES II, 25/pkg) and list the date, dealer number, and summary of alterations performed.

- Automatic Hub Lock, Ratcheting Noise - Self-Engagement of, TSB 97-6-28 by Ford for 95-96
- Date: 03/17/97
- Noise - "Ratcheting" - Front Axle - 4x4 - Self-Engagement Of Automatic Hub Locks - Bronco, F-150 And F-250 Under 8500 # GVW
- Axle - 4x4 - "Ratcheting" Noise - Self-Engagement Of Automatic Hub Locks - Bronco, F-150 And F-250 Under 8500 # GVW
- ISSUE: A "ratcheting" noise from the front axle and/or a self-engagement of the automatic hub locks may occur on some vehicles. This may be caused by a combination of high axle motoring torque and hub locks that require little torque input to engage.
- ACTION: Reduce the axle motoring torque by replacing the differential side gear thrust washers and adjusting the pinion pre-load. This procedure will reduce the axle motoring torque to a level below the required hub lock torque to engage. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
- NOTE: the front axle should be "broken-in" for 402 km (250 miles) prior to proceeding with additional diagnosis or repairs. To break-in the front axle, engage four-wheel-drive, drive forward and then shift out of four-wheel-drive without disengaging the hub locks. Driving with the hubs engaged will break-in the axle. If the vehicle is backed up during this time period, the hub locks will disengage and will have to be engaged again by repeating this procedure.
- SERVICE PROCEDURE:
- Remove the front drive shaft and tie a 12-pound test monofilament fish line between the front output yoke of the transfer case and the round locator hole on the side of the transfer case (Figure 1). Drive the vehicle in two-wheel-drive with the hubs unlocked for a minimum of 3 km (2 miles), including some lock-to-lock figure eight turns. Refer to the following two conditions.
- If the fish line breaks, the concern is being generated by the transfer case. It will require further diagnosis and possible repair. Refer to Section C - Transfer Case Diagnosis And Repair of this article.
- If the fish line did not break, proceed to Section A - Measure The Motoring Torque Of The Front Drive Axle of this article and follow through all of the service procedure until the concern is resolved.
- -----------------------------
- Brake Shift Interlock, Inadvertent Disablement TSB 99-13-9 by Ford for 94-96
- ISSUE: Corporate, municipal, or police fleets may have had their 1992-1999 Ford Motor Company vehicle modified to flash the brake lamps whenever the police lights or other aftermarket lights are turned on, which may disable the brake shift interlock. The brake shift interlock is a feature that prevents the vehicle from being shifted from Park unless the brake pedal is depressed. Disabling of the brake shift interlock feature may enable the operator to inadvertently apply the accelerator instead of the brake pedal and simultaneously shift from Park to a Drive gear.
- ACTION: As appropriate, dealers should advise owners (including corporate, municipal, and police agencies) that any vehicle that has been modified with a connection to the brake circuit, or that electrically interfaces with the brake lamps in any manner, should be disconnected IMMEDIATELY and the emergency lighting system should be modified in a manner that does not interfere with normal vehicle operation or the brake shift interlock. In addition, if the high-mount stoplamp flashes when the police lights are on, the modification does not conform with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 which requires that the high-mount stoplamp only illuminate when applying the brakes.
- Installation of warning lights should only be performed with a completely separate electrical system, without connection to any existing vehicle wiring. Connection of aftermarket electrical equipment into the brake lamp circuit or any other circuit which is connected to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), anti-lock brake computer, air bag system, or any other vehicle system, will cause vehicle malfunction.

- NOTE:
THE DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES WILL APPLY TO THE STAND ALONE AND INTEGRATED VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEMS UNLESS A SPECIFIC VEHICLE TYPE IS REFERENCED. - Before performing speed control diagnosis, the customer concern should be verfied. Occasionally, the customer does not completely understand operation of the speed control system. If this is the case, the customer should be referred to the Owner Guide for complete speed control operating instructions.
- Most misunderstanding involves operation of the RESUME feature. RESUME should be used to return to a previously set speed after speed control operation has been interrupted. The RESUME feature will not operate if the vehicle speed has been lowered through use of the COAST button. The release of the COAST button sets the new lower speed into the control memory. Also, RESUMEwill not work if the vehicle speed is below the minimum speed control operating speed of about 30 mph (48 km/h).
- The RESUME function for the Stand-Alone Speed Control System may not activate with a momentary tap of the RESUME button. The RESUME button must be held down for a short time to make sure of engagement.
- Speed drops of more than 1 or 2 mph may occur while in speed control operation on grades or under other load conditions. This is especially true on vehicles that are equipped with automatic overdrive transmissions or with manual 5 speed transmissions. These speed drops are due to limited engine power available in the overdrive (or the highest gear of a manual transmission) mode of operation. Under heavy load conditions, such as hilly or mountainous areas or during trailer tow, the vehicle speed may drop even more. When speed drops of 10 - 13 mph (16 - 21 km/h) occur the speed control system will, by design, automatically disengage.
Systems- The speed control system obtains vehicle speed information from the vehicle speed sensor. In most cars and trucks the sensor is mounted on the transmission or in-line with the speedometer cable. The sensor is driven from gearing in the transmission. On 1986-90 Lincoln Town Car, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Mark VII vehicles the speed signal comes from a speed sensor located in the Electronic Instrument Cluster. If the speedometer system is erratic or inoperative, it must be serviced before the speed control system is evaluated.
- Does the horn work? If not, check the horn circuit fuse, horn relay and horn circuit wiring.
- Do the stoplamps light when the brake pedal is depressed? If not, check the stop lamp circuit fuse, stoplamps, wiring and stop lamp switch.
- Look for loose or unseated connector pins.
- Check for broken wires at the connectors.
- Disconnected or cut vacuum hose from the servo to the manifold source.
- Loose or disconnected electrical connector, or broken wire.
- Loose, or cracked plastic elbow at the servo.
- Disconnected, or loose, dump valve hose at the servo.
- Misadjusted Bowden cable/bead chain. If misadjustment is suspected due to set speed error or excessive speed drop, the cable or chain should be readjusted.
- Cable loose, or not connected to the engine bracket (screw loose or missing).
- Hose pinched or not connected to the dump valve.
- Dump valve is not fully seated into the retaining clip in the brake pedal support bracket.
- Check the dump valve adjustment. Readjust the dump valve if the yellow plunger is extended more than 1/4" when the brake pedal is not depressed.

- Door, Side, Wind Noise TSB 99-6-5 by Ford for 94-96
- MARCH 23, 1999
- This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add model year coverage and specify a standard door weatherstrip service push pin.
- ISSUE: Wind noise from the side doors may be heard on some vehicles. This may be caused by the door weatherstrip seal. This TSB article provides Service Tips for correcting this concern.
- ACTION: Diagnose and repair any windnoise from door weatherstrip concerns using the following Wind noise Service Tips.
- WIND NOISE SERVICE TIPS
- DO NOT REPLACE THE WEATHERSTRIP UNLESS IT IS:
- Torn, Ripped, Cut, Deteriorated excessively, Material defect/abnormalities, or
- TSB specifies the replacement of the weatherstrip
- NOTE: REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE DUE TO NORMAL USE, NOT DUE TO CUSTOMER MISUSE.
- WEATHERSTRIP WINDNOISE OR APPEARANCE SERVICE TIPS
- The following text explains attachment methods for Ford Motor Company's generic repair standards for loose and/or misaligned weatherstrips.
- Flanges are typically used on the body opening where weatherstrip retention fins grab onto each side of the sheet metal flange to retain the weatherstrip with a press fit. In cases where these weatherstrips become loose and/or misaligned, they can be reinstalled by pressing the locking retention fins back onto the sheet metal flange and stretching to provide better retention around corners. If the weatherstrip retention fins or metal carrier become damaged, it is also required that the U-section be carefully bent back into the proper shape to properly lock onto the sheet metal flange. Once replaced, check the weatherstrip for proper retention. If required, Weatherstrip and Rubber Adhesive (E8AZ-19552-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G14-A) should be applied to the inside of the weatherstrip U-section to bond with the sheet metal flange for proper retention force.
- Sheet Metal C-Channels are typically used on the upper perimeter of the door assembly or body panel to hold the weatherstrip molded base inside the C-channel. In cases where these weatherstrips pop out of the channel, repair by first removing the weatherstrip from the entire channel, and reassemble by sliding the molded base back into the channel. If the sheet metal channel has been damaged, it is also required that the C-channel be carefully bent back into the proper shape to retain the weatherstrip molded base.
- Push Pins are typically used on the lower perimeter of the door assembly attached to the weatherstrip. They are press fit into sheet metal holes for retention. Push pins can be gently removed by pulling the actual pin normal to the surface, out of the hole, and reinserted without damage. If a push pin is damaged, it should be replaced by first removing the existing push pin. Then, the base of a new push pin should be inserted into the weatherstrip hole, and finally press fit into the corresponding sheet metal hole. All door perimeter weatherstrip push pins should be repaired using Ford standard N806340-S.
- Rivets are used to attach some weatherstrips to the sheet metal body. In cases where a rivet becomes loose, the entire rivet should be removed and replaced with a new rivet.
- Adhesive Tape is used to adhere smaller weatherstrip sections to the painted sheet metal surface. All surfaces must be clean and dry before any weatherstrip reattachment is performed. Adhesive tears should be reattached to the painted surface using general purpose Instant Adhesive (E8AZ-19554-A or equivalent).
- VERIFICATION
- 1. If the weatherstrip is not attached properly, reattach it correctly.
- 2. If the condition of the weatherstrip is good and it is attached properly, test drive the vehicle to diagnose the root cause of the windnoise. Verify the sealing contact between the door and the weatherstrip is sufficient with the 3X5" Card Test or a Chalk Test found in this TSB article.
- 3. If sealing contact between the weatherstrip and the door is the root cause of the windnoise, readjust the doors to contact the weatherstrips.
- NOTE:
- WEATHERSTRIP REPAIRS SHOULD NOT CREATE UNACCEPTABLE DOOR CLOSING EFFORTS, WINDNOISE CONCERNS, OR WATER LEAK CONCERNS WITH THE DOOR SYSTEM.
- 3X5" CARD TEST
- 1. Insert a 3x5" card between the door and the weatherstrip at the base of the A-pillar with the door closed.
- 2. Run the card up along the A-pillar.
- If the card easily moves at any location along the A-pillar, then the sealing contact between the door and the weatherstrip is insufficient and the door should be adjusted to increase the sealing contact. This test can only be used to evaluate the A-pillar sealing contact at the margin. To evaluate sealing contact of the primary and secondary weatherstrips, a Chalk Test must be performed.
- CHALK TEST
- 1. Lightly and evenly spray the sheet metal sealing surface of the door and body with a tracing powder (chalk spray).
- 2. Gently close the door, applying pressure only at the latch to prevent overslam (which will give an inaccurate reading).
- 3. Open the door and inspect the seals for degree of compression and possible skips.
- To provide adequate sealing contact, the weatherstrip-to-sheet metal contact should provide a tracing powder footprint width of 4-6mm on the weatherstrips. Any skips or tracing powder footprints less than 3mm in width indicate insufficient door-to-weatherstrip sealing contact and the door should be adjusted to increase the sealing contact.
- DOOR ADJUSTING
- Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
- 1. The upper and lower door hinges provide sufficient in/out adjustment to increase door contact with the dynamic weatherstrips. The door should not be pried or forced into alignment. To properly correct the door fit to the weatherstrips, the door striker and/or hinge bolts to the door must be loosened and adjusted to perform the alignment procedure. Note that the door striker only controls the in/out location of the door at the rear latch area. The hinges control the in/out location of the door at the front, and the overall tip or tilt of the door when viewed from the front or rear.
- 2. Review the overall fit of the door to the surrounding panels, and the amount of compression of the weatherstrip at all locations around the door. The fitting procedure is mastered sequentially from the rear of the vehicle to the front:
- l from the quarter panel to the rear door
- l from the rear door to the front door
- l then the front door to the fender
- All mating surfaces should be reviewed and, if necessary, refit starting with correcting the rear door to the quarter panel and working forward.
- 3. The door should be adjusted to obtain proper seal compression while maintaining a good door fit. An adjustment may be required only at one hinge. For example: if the top of the door is outboard, causing a lack of seal compression around the upper door frame area, and the fit of the lower part of the door is good to the adjacent panels, an inward adjustment at only the upper hinge would be appropriate (refer to Step 5). Note that adjustments to the rear door may require additional adjustments to the front door, and then also possibly to the front fender to maintain the proper panel fit and alignment.
- 4. The rear of the door should be set in/out with the striker to align at the door latch area with the mating panel. If the upper or lower part of the door doesn't align to the adjacent panel, the amount of door tip must be corrected by adjustment at the hinges in order to get both the upper and lower surfaces of the door aligned or flushed to the adjacent panels.
- 5. The in/out setting at the front of the doors is controlled by the hinge adjustment.
- l It should be set to obtain the proper amount of seal contact, which can be determined using the 3X5" Card Test or the Chalk Test.
- l As a guideline, if there is insufficient weatherstrip contact of the door, the hinge(s) should be adjusted 2-4mm inboard. This is accomplished by loosening the hinge-to-door bolts just enough to permit movement of the door with a padded pry bar.
- l Only one hinge should be adjusted at a time. The other tight hinge helps to prevent any drastic door movement (which may result due to the weight of the door) which will result in a complete door refitting for both up/down as well as in/out positions.
- l The amount of movement can be determined by outlining the hinge mounting area on the door prior to adjustment, and measuring the hinge movement relative to this outline after adjustment. A 2-4mm adjustment should be sufficient to return the door to within its nominal operating range.
- 6. Finally, the door closing effort should be checked to be sure the seal compression has not increased so much that a closing effort concern has been created. If the efforts are unacceptably high, the door may have been moved excessively inward, and should be refitted outward to a location that balances the seal compression for windnoise with closing efforts. It may be necessary to perform another 3X5" Card Test or Chalk Test to verify the final seal compression.
