  Q: How to remove and replace the front bumper cover on Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A:

  Secure safety steps must come first before removing or replacing the front bumper cover because you need to depower the fire suppression system and cut power to the Air Suspension system. This keeps the air springs from changing pressure during your work. Setting the vehicle to neutral position allows hoisting for successful placement. The first task requires removing four lower radiator air deflector bolts alongside two radiator vertical deflector bolts while tightening them to 7 Nm (62 lb-in) before reinstalling both. You must first detach the pin-type retainers which are present on both sides before removing the three-pin-type retainers found on each front bumper side cover. You must first remove the side turn signal lamp assemblies then take out the two front bumper cover screws (one per side) before tightening them to 7 Nm (62 lb-in) during the installation process. The front bumper cover-to-fender screws need removal one by one from each side. Keep these screws at 2 Nm (18 lb-in) during reinstallation. Before removing the front bumper cover the electrical connectors must be disconnected from vehicles that have fog lamps. The removal process should be reversed to install the components.

  Q: How to service the front bumper cover on Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A:

  Service operations on the front bumper cover require disabling the fire suppression system when present before disconnecting Air Suspension electrical power to avoid automatic air spring pressure changes that may shift the vehicle. Place the vehicle with neutral gear selection on a hoisting structure. The repair begins by taking out 4 lower radiator air deflector bolts and 2 radiator vertical deflector bolts before tightening them to 7 Nm (62 lb-in) for reinstallation. Start by removing the 2 pin-type retainers from each side of the vehicle. Then disassemble the 6 front bumper cover pin-type retainers that exist as 3 on each side of the vehicle. The next step involves taking out the side turn signal lamp assemblies followed by removal of the 2 front bumper cover screws (1 on each side). Reinstallation should include tightening them to 7 Nm (62 lb-in). Each front bumper cover requires one screw on its side to be taken out but must be tightened to 2 Nm (18 lb-in) before reassembly. Detaching fog lamp electrical cables must happen before uninstalling the front bumper cover from vehicles that have this feature installed. The installation process ends by executing the removal instructions in reverse order.
