1995 Ford Taurus SHO

New to Reddit I heard this is where I can possibly find parts for my 95 Ford Taurus SHO it's got the 3.0 V6 I'm looking for a complete engine harness as the rats have chewed thru almost all of it well it sat in a barn for 25 years I just acquired this car and I would love to get it running and driving in almost excellent condition except for tires brakes and the big one a engine harness does anybody have a lead on anything let me know one of the harder parts of this is the fact that I live in Canada so finding things like this is almost impossible but doesn't hurt to try

Help with value

So we need to sell my FIL’s SHO and I am getting $18k offers left & right (just listed it today). Am I to high at $20k? It is 100% factory other than some Freon in the passenger side & the tires.
Feel free to give me any opinions of I am wrong, or what I might could do differently.
Tyvm!

Missing valve

So I took my vehicle to the repair shop and when it came back it was missing this valve, in between the brake fluid reservoir that comes off the air intake pipe. Where does it go to, what does it do, and what is it called, also I’m having an acceleration issue. When accelerating it kinda like hiccups, or burps and doesn’t want to catch speed. Could this valve be the main issue or some other underlying problem on top of that.

Gas guage incorrect

I filled up two weeks ago and my gas gauge only said 3/4 and the distance to empty corresponded with 3/4 full. While driving a few days later, the gas suddenly moved to full and the distance to empty was over 100 miles more than possible. I tried to reset the fuel pump and gauges by disconnecting the battery for a few hours but it’s still showing too high for what’s in the tank and a distance that would be impossible. Any suggestions?

I found my sedan twin!

I found another 1997 ford Taurus with silver frost metallic in the sonic parking lot. You can see some of the similarities and differences between wagon and sedan.

Help. 2013 Ford Taurus

I recently topped off my coolant reservoir with the ford orange as specified. I filled it up to the cold line and now I checked today and it’s about an inch or two below the line. I checked my oil and it seems to have an orange tint on the dipstick, oil cap, and cams. Has anyone had an orange tint to their oil before. Neither the oil nor the coolant is milky or frothy. Oil is still oily and coolant is still orange with tiny little black specs in it. Hoping I don’t have to replace a water pump but want to get others opinions

Trunk button on bumper not working

Trunk will open with key fob, and the button on the dash but the button on the bumper won't work.

I did what I always say not to do and bought a new button before I diagnosed it and it turns out the old button was not bad.

Can anyone tell me if there is a proximity sensor near the back that would prevent the button from working if it doesn't detect the key? If the doors are unlocked with no fob will the trunk still open with the button?

Trying to figure out of the issue is with the antenna that is supposedly in the bumper.

This is for a 2019 taurus

Thanks
