If the battery light is still showing then there is a good chance your alternator is not charging properly. The battery light should reset on its own if everything is in good working order.

run the fault codes first to see if there are any codes, next is to use the scanner to reset the ECM program
Lastly is to check the wiring circuit to ensure that you have not by-passed a control that stops the battery from going flat.
Lastly have a load test done on the battery because the gauge shows full voltage , batteries can fail under a load such as starting.

How do i reset the computer on 2003 Eclipse GT after installing a new battery?

You shouldn't need to clear the engine codes after installing a new battery. If the light is on, after starting and driving the car 5times the light should go out. But if you want to reset the engine light then go to a part store and buy a scan-tool. Actron is one company that is inexpensive. Look them up first (Google it) and decide what you want to spend verses what you want it to do.

I had a new battery installed in my 2007 Navigator. The air suspension now shows off. I have tried to reset using the reset buton on the dash with no seccuss.

The is usually an off/on button located in the rear cargo area behind one of the side access panels.

Also, Your Lincoln may still be under warranty because the Lincoln products have a longer warranty that comes with the vehicle.

Heated seats in my 2004 navigator are not working

if the light doesnt come on for the heated seat, *sometimes* the electronics need to be reset. You do this by very carefully taking both battery poles off the battery entirely. Then touching the negative to the positive WHILE NEITHER IS TOUCHING THE BATTERY (this is very important otherwise you could get shocked). This will clear computer and reset it. Then reconnect the positive first. then the negative. this will sometimes work. This is only if the light for the heated seats is not coming on. If the light is coming on you probably need a new heater core.
