I've had problems getting my car started off and on over this past year. Had the battery replaced a few times, and was assured that it wasn't the alternator by my local Pep Boyz on multiple occasions. Just before my most recent visit I noticed a leak. The leak causes the coolant reservoir to completely drain. Also the leak empties out directly onto the starter solenoid. Unfortunately the boys at Pep Boys had nothing to say about the leak which I made sure to tell them about. Any fixes y'all know of?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Of course, you have to fix the coolant leak (that's a given), but I would think it's unlikely that it leaking onto the starter solenoid is causing the battery to drain down. I would suspect an intermittent short somewhere. That would explain why it only happens "off and on".
