How do you remove the wiring harness to reach the assembly?
Do you have to take off the intake manifold to play with it? It seems really
painful to make some room for the assembly since the lower half of the flat plastic cover that is designed to protect the wires really block the way....
By the way, does a 2004 Sable also suffer from failure of synchronizer
assembly? Just curious since it used to chirp but gone now after lubricating
the bearing in the belt tensioner pulley. This car has 90,000 miles on it.

The pic shows the location of the synchronizer assembly, while the car is cold, see if you can grab ahold of the assembly & you should be able to feel it as it grinds/chirps. Its a common problem with the Taurus & is a pain to change thanks to the flat plastic wiring harness running right above it. Be sure you know what you are doing if trying to change this yourself as you can throw the car out of timing. The cam position sensor also sits on top of this assembly and may need replacing too if the vein has came in contact with it. This pic is of a 01  |
