Hello all!
I am relatively new to the auto word, (and world I'm 20), and I'm hoping folks on here can help me restore some parts of my T bird. I just bought it from a single owner, 90,000 miles and it was really taken care of, and its going to be my daily while I'm in college. I am currently in the process of trying to track down a compatible CD player to replace the one in the rear (f4sf-18c830-bb), replace the OEM head unit with a working OEM unit, and rebuild the passenger side mirror, and if anyone can point me to people, I should be reaching out to for questions I'd greatly appreciate it! I listed some initial questions below and if anyone has information on any of them I'd really appreciate the help!
What manuals should I be looking for repairs and wiring diagrams?
Is the f4sf-18c830-bb compatible with any 18c830, or Sony player? (Or if anyone knows where I can buy a working part)
Would it be possible to replace the internals from one side mirror into the housing of another? (I have a pearlescent paint job that I can't find a passenger mirror for, and bought a white side mirror that's working off of super coupe performance, I just have no idea where to start for replacing the mirror)
Is it normal for my amplifier to sound like its not functioning when the CD player has been removed from the rear? (Radio got real quiet)
Any recommendations for combating "floaty steering" at high speeds? I go 90 on the highways in Houston typically and find the steering to feel very disconnected if that makes sense, not sure if I should bring it to an alignment shop or if its just age.
Thanks in advance and apologies if any of these are real stupid questions, Im real new to this stuff.
Best,
Owen
