hey everyone......i went to murray today to pick up the handy dandy self diagnotics thingy-ma-bob. Such a great tool :D...THANKS MURRAY. Anyways I got home and then plugged it straight in and wrote down the codes.......the only codes that were spat out was the 796 code.

anyways it happens to be a Speed Sensitive Power Steering fault.....now I never even knew i had that in my car so now im just all confused of where it is and what might be up with it.....how much it would cost to get it fixed/replaced. I am 99% sure of what it does though :D

can anyone give me a hand here?

phong =P~

don't worry about it mate, my EL fairmont spits out the exact same code.

Talked to a ford guy my dad knows and it's because it's not there. It's for the el fairmont ghia which had the power steering speed sensitive steering.

cheers.....
