Very unusual for it to overheat with the heater on. Running hot with the ac on is often a sign of a faulty radiator fan.

The heater and a/c blend door actuator motor is located behind the center of the dash just below the windshield. The steering column must be detached and lowered and the dash must be removed to access the blend door motor.

SOURCE: Cannot control my AC blower on my 2001 Lincoln

sounds like your switch contacts are shorted closed.. try disconnecting the switch for inspection and use a volt ohm meter to inspect switch across contacts...

Testimonial: "At first the blower stop working. When I ran a separate ground directly to the fan motor it worked but then I found out I had no control. "

SOURCE: Lincoln LS 2000 V6 overheating after reparing intake manifold lea

Couple of items you need to check. Make sure that your radiator is flowing properly. Often after sitting dry, blockages harden up and flow less than before, overheat originally before repair can also free up debris inside engine and add to plugging of core. Make sure that fans are operating especially with ac on. If you did not change thermostat during repair, change it. Not often but they can sometimes partially open, restricting flow. Also make sure that coolant is at correct concentration (50/50) and that there is no air trapped in the system.

My 2001 Lincoln towncar keeps over heating when the ac is on. Please I need help on this issue

Since the engine doesn't overheat normally, we will assume that the the cooling fans work correctly. That said, if there is a partial blockage of the radiator core, the additional heat generated from the A/C coil in front of the radiator may be causing the radiator to be unable to cool down the coolant sufficiently. Also, check the coolant mixture to ensure it is good enough for the summer season. Weak anti-freeze can cause boil-overs. Ensure that the radiator fins are clear of debris and that the radiator fan(s) work in all speeds (if they have more than one). Lastly, if there is supposed to be a shroud around the cooling fans to provide better pulling action thru the radiator, make sure it is in place and properly secured.

Steaming my windshield in my 01 Lincoln Towncar but doesn't overheat

I would test the cooling system for leaks first, but you might want to think about replacing the heater core.

Overheating when driving around town with the AC on--how do you fix the propblem?

Now What !

You should have stopped using it when it first overheated,
& had the issues diagnosed.

You need a dealer or repair shop, unless you have a full set
of factory work shop manuals & powertrain control & emissions
diagnostic manuals, for the year of your car,avail from Helm.Com

1992 lincoln towncar will not shift out of park (gear)

Check that the brake switch is working or is adjusted right so that when you push on the brake pedal, the car can shift out of park.

I have a 1992 lincoln towncar and the odometer doesn't work

If the speedometer itself is currently working fine, it may be that the Odometer and Trip-o-meter gears are broken. Lincolns OnLine have a large database of information regarding Town Cars from all years. This specific link will help you to order and replace the proper gears for your car.

Blower fan not working for heat and AC. THis is on a 2000 Lincoln towncar

This sounds like a BSC blower speed controller. it is located outside on the a/c case just below the heater hoses. to diagnose just wiggle the connector with the key on engine off, you should hear the fan come on, then replace it.
