    That hole above the glove compartment is the passenger airbag light that most people push on and break, if you pull the trim that's held on with clips you will find the light sitting behind it, most just glue it back in place. If the airbag light on the gauge cluster is lit then that passenger airbag light could be disconnected or burnt out. I bet with some new coils and a good MAF cleaning she will run perfect. Great buy Randy.

    Button on the end of the shifter is the switch overdrive on and off, button in the bottom of the driver's side door and the button that's out of place underneath the radio are both to pop the trunk, switch in the door use the ignition key to lock it so it doesn't work, either way both of those trunk releases will not work if the car is in gear. Also where you think a button would be above the glove box it's actually the indicator for the passenger side airbag when it's activated by somebody sitting in the seat

    Fantastic work draining out the water out of the 4.6 liter engine!! I strongly suggest you drain that oil as soon as possible as it's water diluted/contaminated. Castrol has a really good high mileage engine oil that's perfect for the Interceptor. The serpentine idler pulley bearings might be causing that underhood noise. The control boxes for the cruise control and the ABS are probably waterlogged? Maybe that's why they're not working? Or maybe just the fuses, that would be convenient. Good job!

    Those old 4.6 engines never die. Next time you run across something like that remember to cycle the key on and off a dozen or so times to get the fuel from the tank up to the engine and you may not need to crack it so much. The fuel pump only runs a few seconds each time then shuts off each time you cycle the key so it takes a while to get the fuel up to the injectors. I had a Lincoln Towncar with the same chassis and engine etc.! Very reliable cars. They run forever! I liked my Cadillac Deville better, it was smoother riding and faster with much more power.

    I am a GM guy always thought the Panther platform was a good vehicle from Ford, so I own a T.C. and G.M. go figure. 4.6 was a very dependable engine from Ford.

    I know this isn't the topic of the video but I'm so excited to see the yellow Metro cleaning video, she will definitely come out looking great!
    You should definitely give the white one a shot as well.
