Ford ThunderBird Ford thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

Thumbs down 87 Thunderbird TC Electrical Failure
I started my TurboCoupe up yesterday and the following happened: idiot lights came on - ABS light and Emergency Brake light. I tried to turn the a/c on, but temperature control panel is dead. Also, the oil pressure gauge, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge needles are all dropped to zero. Also, my directional signals stopped working. Has anyone else had all these fail at once ? Could this be a loose wiring harness ?

Start by checking your fuses, but I'd wonder if the ground wires for the dash are loose.
