Top 20 2000 Lincoln Town Car Questions & Answers

Could be a bag connection due to rust, take out the bulb and clean it

you have a bad break switch or fuse if your brake light does not come on it will not leave park when running

your fuel pump also has a fuse and a injector fuse also. Could be a bad ground or crank sensor

Since scanner said Misfire #5, then start there: Pull spark plug and review for damage, worn electrodes. Replace as required. If it has been a while, then replace all the plugs. Do that first, then report back your findings.

Having it hooked up to a factory scan tool would be your best bet . Check for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes . Without testing ,code scan ,we'd only be guessing . Very complex , the untrained person hasn't got a pray of fixing this . You have no idea what your dealing with . Vehicle Dynamic Suspension The vehicle dynamic suspension consists of the following components:

• Rear air suspension control (RAS) module (5A919)
• Snorkel
• Drier
• Air compressor (5319)
• Air suspension switch (5K761)
• Solenoid valve (5311)
• Air spring (5560)
• Air suspension height sensor (5359)
• Air line
• Rear Air Suspension Control Module A microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and its supporting hardware are contained in the rear air suspension control module. The rear air suspension control module responds to signals from various sensors in the vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. The rear air suspension control module accomplishes this by opening and closing solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The rear air suspension control module turns on the compressor by applying voltage through the compressor relay to inflate the air spring(s) and raise the vehicle. The rear air suspension control module opens the vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air spring(s) in response to signal inputs from the air suspension height sensor(s).

your plugs are fouled cylinders are dead you will be buying a converter for that soon unburn gas going into hot converter will burn them out for sure you will get the code p0420

Is the Lighting Control Module bad? Is the Multi-Function switch bad? Your asking questions that can't be answered without doing electrical circuit testing . You could replace those parts an get lucky an fix it , but suppose you replace them an it doesn't fix the problem ? Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? what it's for ? Do you have a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter an know how to use it ? Pinpoint Tests PINPOINT TEST H: PINPOINT TEST H: THE TURN SIGNAL LAMPS ARE NEVER ON - THE HAZARD FLASHER LAMPS ARE NEVER ON CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS H1 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM LCM Use the recorded results from the LCM self-test.

• Are any DTCs retrieved?

Yes If DTC B1873 is retrieved, GO to H2 . If DTC B1342 is retrieved, CLEAR DTC and PERFORM LCM on-demand self-test. REPLACE the LCM if DTC B1342 is retrieved again. REFER to Section 419-10 . TEST the system for normal operation. No GO to H2 . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop .

indicates an actuator problem check vacuum hose for a leak and check unit for adjustment

you have a height sensor under the car but what are you trying to do so I can help you [email protected] in the trunk you have a shut off switch

At the fuel pump, pink with lite blue tracer is voltage. I looked at the fuel pump relay , there are two lite blue wires with orange tracer. I divide the relay into two sides, load side, has the arm with arrow head, that lite blue wire is voltage, you can see the fuse. The control side of relay is that coil looking symbol, that lite blue wire is ground controlled by computer.

Check crankshaft sensor.

You may have a damaged or bent rod on the ride height sensor or the wiring is damaged to it or the sensor is defective. The sensor is located under the car it is easy to replace.

Hi Joe the link below has your answer... Ignition coil a primary/secondary circuit malfunction.......CHEERS.. http://www.obd-codes.com/p0351

Silicone spray on the rubber parts. Just make sure not to get any on the braking components.

Sensor - Front Crash Removal WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or any other damaged supplemental restraint system (SRS) components whether or not the air bag is deployed. WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices. NOTE: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault. NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer. NOTE: Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic procedure again.

1. Depower the system. For additional information, refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in this section.

B1932 32 8 Driver Air Bag Circuit Resistance High GO to Pinpoint Test J . PINPOINT TEST J: LFC 32/DTC B1932 - DRIVER AIR BAG CIRCUIT RESISTANCE HIGH NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough Inspection and Verification before proceeding with the Pinpoint Test. CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS J1 CHECK FOR A HARD OR INTERMITTENT DTC WARNING: Restraint system diagnostic tools are for service only. Tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road. Failure to remove restraint system diagnostic tools could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards. WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury. NOTE: After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road. NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer. Your best bet is to take this problem to a ASE certified repair shop .

Most likely, Cam phasers for the variable valve timing. About a $1300 job.
