I commend you for wanting to replace it yourself, but if you don't know what it looks like and how to locate it, I doubt you can replace it. You need wrenches and a socket set. You are dealing with a large amperage cable and if you disconnect the battery, you will have to input the radio code and reset the alarm and engine immobilizer. Usually you access the starter from underneath, so you need a jack and axle stands, or a pair of ramps. And it is HEAVY. It is on the side of the engine, so better than some, but they hid it under the left bank of the angled V6 engine..https://www.autozone.com/batteries-starting-and-charging/starter/lincoln/ls It is hidden behind the right front tyre.

On most of Ford's line of vehicles, including lincoln, the inertia switch is normally located in the trunk, under a plastic or fabric cover. hope this will help
It sounds like your AC unit could be overheating or even damaged.AC units have a sensor that will turn them off automatically to prevent damage from overheating. If there is an insufficient amount of air flow, the unit will heat up, and then eventually turn off.When the car is moving, more air is forced over the unit, likely keeping it cool enough to run, however, when the car come to a stop, it loses that air flow, and quickly heats up. Thus, the AC would work while the vehicle is in motion, and overheat and stop when the car is stopped and idling.However, the AC unit could be completely blown. The cold air while moving could be just a case of air being forced into the car. Think of a house fan, the fast the wind blows on you, the cooler it gets.... Thus, it could be an illusion that the AC is working when car is in motion, when it really isn't.Hope this helps.
There are 2 PDF documents to look up. The first - Routing Guide - give you the diagram code for the vehicle with the 6 cylinder and the V8 equipped vehicles. See page 84 for the 2004 LS model.
Diagrams 8-16 (V6 engine) and 7-29 (V8 engine) can be found in the second PDF - the iIlustration Guide.
Hope this helps. Cheers Sean Voluntary contributor.
My car is a 2003 ls V6 keeps getting a misfire and no acceleration when pressing the gas. I've done changed the map sensor, new throttle body, coul packs and spark plugs 3 times and just recently re changed them once again and noticed the spark plug holes were completely filled with water. Anyone with possible answers would be helpful
Trying to bypass an Immobiliser isn't a good idea. The system is wired into many areas of the electronics. Cutting and tying wires randomly can create SERIOUS problems. By Serious I really mean VERY expensive!
Get a Good Auto Electrician to have a look at it and they will be able to tell you what is wrong.
check your radiator fan if its powering on when engine runs hot. Test if there is power at the fan's electrical connector when car is running and temp guage is at half. If there isnt any power on, check your relays and fuses. Hopefully this helps
i have a 2005 lincoln ls v8, my code was on a sticker located under the center of the dash (driver side). i laid down on my back with a flash light and looked behind the radio, you will see several stickers with numbers on them. i wrote down all the number from each sticker then tried them , it worked i found the code. note: the one sticker that my code was on had several numbers in front of it that i had to eliminate ex: 1003(98501), 98501 was the code for my door. it took me 20 min but it was worth it . the dealer wanted $90
You must check a few things to eliminate causes ok , so first answer this question , does your engine stay running when your parked idling and when you press on the gas to raise the rpm's it still runs yes/no? If yes you must check the spark plug gap on each plug , wait for the engine to cool down for 1 hour they take out each spark plug and check the air gap between the center firing pin and the bottom electrode using a gapping tool you can buy this at autozone ,and the gap is listed on the emissions sticker on the radiator support if your not say on doing this stuff get a guy to help you ok ///your engine will idle fine when the gap is out of specification maybe a little shaking in drive ,but when you are driving the extra heat generated from the engine being under a higher load will cause the gas to evaporate and burn up before the spark ignition takes place so the loss of power or stalling will be the result when you take out the first plug if it's out of gap they all are and if there's enough center firing pin left you can regap them but it's better to replace them all at the same time 1 by 1 they should be removed ok
The fuel pump is inside the fuel tank , nothing is located in the front driver wheel area , unless ABS - anti-lock brakes pump motor. When turning the key to the start position does the starter engage an spin the engine around ? Hooking up a fuel pressure gauge an check to see if there is fuel pressure at the injector fuel rail should be done plus hooking up a scan tool an checking for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes also . Any light's lit on the instrument cluster , check engine light etc.... Your vehicle also has a electronic control module that controls the fuel pump . Your best bet mite be to have a qualified repair shop check it out , has electronic's you are not aware of.
Here is a link to the owner's manuals, (you never say what model of Lincoln) all fuse information in there under a section called "Roadside Emergencies". The vehicle has 2 fuses boxes one under the hood and one inside the car. http://www.fleet.ford.com/partsandservice/owner-manuals
I HAVE A 2005 LINCOLN LS, THE CODE IS IN THE CAR. I HAD TO PUT THE DRIVERS SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK, LAY ON THE FLOOR UPSIDE DOWN BY THE BRAKE PEDAL. YOU NEED A FLASH LIGHT AN PEN AN PAPER. BEHIND THE CENTER CONSOLE (BEHIND THE RADIO AND HEATER) IF YOU LOOK UP YOU WILL SEE SEVERAL STICKERS WITH NUMBERS ON IT I WROTE THESE NUMBERS DOWN THEN TRIED THEM ON THE DOOR. EX- ONE STICKER LOOKED LIKE THIS 0123485, MY CODE WAS 23,4,85 THE FIRST TWO NUMBER DIDN'T MEAN NOTHING. YOU WILL HAVE TO PLAY AROUND WITH THE NUMBERS TO FIND YOURS. THE DEALER WANTED $100 BUCS TO TELL ME. [email protected]
My personal suggestion would be to go for these repair catalogs from www.reliable-store.com instead. much better info on all vehicles, complete details, and
they also have live assistance feature
Depending on which gas line was replaced, the inertia switch may need to be reset. Also he may have turned off the fuel pump in the trunk and forgot to turn it back on. There are switches near the air ride controls in the trunk.
