VIN number Invalid

Asked by ginman Nov 20, 2011 at 02:47 PM about the 1987 Ford Thunderbird

Question type: General

When I contact Ford Motor Co. for answers to my question about cranking my car and submit my question, the website sends me a message that my vin number is not valid.  I have vefified that it is correct and I am not usinm ang o's or l's. Those letters are replaces with 0' and 1's per FMC instructions. I have tried it all ways possible and it still tells me my vin number is invalid.  Why?

Are you using the VIN plate under the windshield glass? Try an alternate VIN location site if you can find one, like the inside of the drivers front door, an under-hood sticker or stamp, any stickers or plates in the trunk....
