How often should I come in for Ford Thunderbird differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Thunderbird?

If your Thunderbird has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your Thunderbird’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Thunderbird's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Thunderbird.

Does my Thunderbird drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Thunderbird. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
