20 Most Recent 2009 Lincoln MKZ Questions & Answers

My advice is take the battery into your local auto parts store and have them test it. If it tests bad then the battery is bad and should be replaced. Most battery manufacturers will supply a warranty and if it is that new then they should replace it for free.

It is entirely possible that two batteries have gone bad in two years, it depends on what driving conditions are like, where the car is stored, what the weather is like, and sometimes you just get unlucky and get a battery that shouldn't have passed the quality testing from the manufacturer.

It is possible that you have something in the car that is draining the battery while its not on, but batteries are designed to handle that and a quick recharge should take care of it. If the battery won't recharge then it is dead.

I work in the car battery industry and they are designed to handle thousands and thousands of charge/discharge cycles (assuming you buy a high quality battery). Sometimes you buy "lemons" but the manufacturers warranty will take care of you if that's the case.

Hook a charger up overnight, or try the jumper cables again. Make sure they are connected to the matching terminals. Check to see if anything has power without starting the car. Lights or radio working with key in the ACC position? If not, something has killed power from the battery- maybe a main fuse or a power distribution relay. Make sure the cables/connections aren't corroded at the battery posts.

Loosen the adjustment bolts

Try the dealer

I would verify that the engine is full of oil. If so, make sure that the sending unit is enact and connected properly.

No info sent to error data port. ? That is the DLC - data link connector ! Pin 16 in that connector should have battery + voltage ,to power up a scan tool .

left side of dash, mixed in with the rest, scroll through till you find it.

Had the exact same thing happen to my 2009 MKX. It has happened twice now. Today I discovered that if I press and HOLD the unlock button on my key fob, the two front windows and sunroof will open! Mystery solved! So...the key fob must have been pushed up against something in my purse. I wonder if there is a way to turn this feature off!?

The vehicle is equipped with Automatic Temperature Control, which automatically controls fan speed based upon cabin temperature. Check your user manual for proper operation of the system before proceeding further. If your fan is stopping before achieving the temperature you set, suspect overheating of the fan relay, a defective fan resistor, or a bad ATC.

first the blower in the dash must blow, and make noise. does it do either,? check fuses. firsts. always, test them.

There's a couple of things you can try. You could have a bad oil pressure sender or a bad gauge. Without spending a lot you could replace the sender unit. If the gauge is defective, it is more expensive and the new sender was a waste of money. You could have someone put on a pressure test gauge which would be threaded into the hole from removing the oil sender. This will tell you if the oil gauge and old sensor are accurate. If the readings from the mechanics add-on gauge are still low, then you have an internal engine problem. A mechanic will cost you to hook up a test gauge, and you still may have to buy a new sender. Probably the best thing is to do is install a new sender yourself and if it works you are done; if it does not help either go to a mechanic or replace the gauge. An internal engine problem could be an oil pump, or bearings.

Hi Sam try this trick swith ignition on, within 2 seconds press the lock button on the remote repeatly, the door lock should cycle. Good Luck

Take it to garage get the solonoid looked at ,this soloniod releases the gearshift and it could be getting weak or the cables need renewing

You will need a transmission rebuild if it has gotten to the point that your reverse is locking up. If your lucky then most of your gears aren't damaged.
