Q: How to remove the front and rear bumper covers on Ford Taurus?
A: To remove the front bumper cover, first loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Next, remove the front wheels and the lower plastic fasteners from under the bumper cover. Then, take out the fasteners that secure the inner fender splash shields to the bumper cover. For early models, remove the two lower fender mounting bolts at the rear of the wheel well opening. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the fog lamps if equipped, and disengage the fastener that secures the upper edges of the bumper cover to the fender. Remove the upper radiator grille bolts and plastic rivets, then disengage the clips that secure the side of the bumper cover to the fender. Conduct a final inspection with a flashlight to ensure the bumper cover is completely detached, all electrical connectors are disconnected, and all wiring harnesses are safely out of the way. With assistance, remove the front bumper cover, and installation is the reverse of removal. For the rear bumper cover, loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands before removing the rear wheels. For 2010 and later models, remove the rear taillight housing. Remove the screws from the rear part of the wheel well splash shield and push the shields aside. From under the vehicle, remove the rear cover brace-to-body fasteners, disconnect the trailer tow connector and parking aid harness connectors if equipped, and disengage the corners of the bumper cover from the body panel. Again, perform a final inspection with a flashlight to ensure the bumper cover is completely detached, all electrical connectors are disconnected, and all wiring harnesses are safely out of the way. With assistance, remove the rear bumper cover, and installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to get help when putting the bumper cover back into position.
