- THIS CAN BE A SENSITIVE REPAIR THAT IF NOT DONE CORRECTLY WILL MOST LIKELY RESULT IN IGNITION FAILURE AND OR
ENGINE DAMAGE.***
- DISCLAIMER:****
- THE FOREGOING IS A GUIDE AS I RECALL THE STEPS OF THE REPAIR TO BE, I AM RATHER THOROUGH IN EXPLAINING THE
PROCEDURE, HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A PROPER REPAIR MANUAL FOR GUIDANCE AND OR VERIFICATION.
FIND **TOP DEAD CENTER (TDC) (**crucial step) FOR CYLINDER #1; CONSULT A PROPER REPAIR MANUAL OR Ford MOTOR CO..
DISCONNECT BATTERY TO PREVENT MOVEMENT OF THE TOP DEAD CTR POSITION.
CLEAN THE BASE AROUND THE DISTRIBUTOR SHAFT TO PREVENT DEBRIS FROM FALLING INTO ENGINE.
- SCRIBE, **SCRATCH OR **OTHERWISE MARK SHAFT AND MOTOR BLOCK TO ASSURE PROPER ALIGNMENT FOR REINSTALLATION.
REMOVE THE BOLT AT THE BASE OF THE SHAFT, IT USUALLY HOLDS A THICK WEIRD LOOKING EGG SHAPED WASHER TO THE BLOCK. **if you dont mark the shaft to block, the engine will have to be timed.
YOU MUST THEN SLOWLY REMOVE THE ENTIRE DISTRIBUTOR, NOT JUST THE CAP.
ONCE THE SHAFT IS OUT, LAY IT DOWN ON A SOFT SURFACE, LIKE A TOWEL, TO PREVENT DAMAGE.
INSPECT DISTRIBUTOR GEAR AT END AND OTHER PARTS FOR WEAR, AND REPLACE ONLY IF NECESSARY.
REMOVE OLD MODULE; IF ITS MOTORCRAFT, ITS USUALLY GREY.
CLEAN MOUNTING PLATE, IT MAY HAVE TO BE CLEANED GENTLY WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL AND A COTTON BALL TO REMOVE ANY DIELECTRIC GREASE THAT MAY REMAIN. ***DO NOT USE A SCRAPING TOOL OF ANY KIND OF THE MODULE OR MOUNTING PLATE!***
LET THE DISTRIBUTOR DRY COMPLETELY.
THERE IS USUALLY A SMALL TUBE OF DIELECTRIC GREASE WITH THE NEW MODULE WHICH MUST BE USED. IF NOT INCLUDED, YOU MUST BUY A TUBE OF DIELECTRIC GREASE. ***THE MODULE MUST NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE REPLACED WITHOUT THE GREASE!***
GENEROUSLY APPLY SAID GREASE TO THE NOW SHINY PART OF THE MODULE MOUNTING PLATE.
MAKE SURE THE NEW MODULE IS CLEAN, THEN MOUNT MODULE TO MOUNTING PLATE ON DISTRIBUTOR SHAFT.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS!
CLEAN OFF ANY RESIDUAL GREASE FROM SURROUNDING AREA.
CAREFULLY REPLACE DISTRIBUTOR SHAFT.
REALIGN THE MARK YOU MADE EARLIER ON THE DISTRIBUTOR SHAFT TO THE MARK ON THE ENGINE BLOCK.
REPLACE THE WASHER THEN THE BOLT AND TIGHTEN TO SPECS.
RECONNECT THE MODULE HARNESS THEN THE BATTERY CABLE AND START THE CAR.
GOOD LUCK!

You will need to remove the Distributor, which is the hard part. the ign. module bolts to the side of the dizzy. Unbolt the old one, and bolt the new one on with the supplied grease. You are probably better off getting a mechanic to do it, as the dizzy is in a prick of a spot.
On the steering column, underneath the key cylinder is a small spring-loaded metal button. This is the retaining latch. a small Phillips screwdriver or other metal object is used to press in this button and release the cylinder. The cylinder will then slide out. There is usually a single wire connection for the key reminder buzzer. Disconnect this and the cylinder can be removed. Replacement cost at AutoZone is approx. $20. The new part goes back in reverse order(reconnect wire,slide cylinder in till latch engages).

Where is the ignition module on a 1993 Ford Taurus located?
On the bottom side of the engine( front of the car) just below the exhause manifold. It is easiest to remove the mounting plate from the body of the engine, as balancing the coils on the module as you remove and insert screws if a real pain in the but. If anyone has any suggestions on waterproofing this area, I would greatly appreciate it, as I have gone through three of these modules in three years due to water getting into it and shorting the module out. This last time it was a coolant leak around a seal on the top of the water pump, spraying right into the module that caused it. Argh!
