  And unless you have the wiring schematics and electrical knowledge, you might want to seriously thing about having a shop look at it.

  I have a 97 Taurus with 60,000 miles. ust replaced front brakes and now car noises. Every time I brake once the car stops a low tone comes from the rear of the car. Every time a Iturn a corner I hear a thuimp which sounds like it is coming from the drivers side of the car. My wife who is a musical, says the low sound is a tone in D minor, whatever that means.
  
  It's not a typical car noise. Anyone know about this??

  I had a similar problem with my turn signals and defroster not working sometimes and then working other times. Then one time I thought I smelt some thing like burning but it did not continue. Later when my signals did not work, I replaced the fuse and everything worked for a while but later they stopped working. One night my headlights came on by themselves about 2 hours after I had parked my car. I decided to take the headlight/parking light switch out and found that the connection-plug behind it had been partly melted. I replaced the connection-plug and the switch. This was about 3 months ago and everything has been fine since. It takes sometime to do yourself, but you do not have to be a rock-scientist to do it, just set aside a couple of hours to do.
  Another thing that I found was the wire that goes down to the brake-pedal came out of the protective covering and shorted out against the frame causing the fuse to blow and not allowing me to put the transmission into gear.
