2001 Lincoln town car is squeaking in the front
It could be the the struts as I believe you have struts not shocks on your vehicle. I would start with a good lube job as well as check all your front suspention bushings. If all is good there check to make sure your struts are good. They don't need to be totally repalced as you buy an insert to replace them. Look around underneath as someone pushes the car up and down to try to isolate the location of the noise. I hope this helps and good luck.

Gas gauge shows 325 miles
It's actually the meter recalculating distance. Keep in mind this is an estimate and not exact. This is constantly changes from driving habits to temperature changes. So don't rely heavily on the distance - it's just an estimate.

The gear shifter will not
there is a cable running from the shifter to the key. these stretch over time and cause this problem. if you remove the cover for the shifter and remove the plastic lock and cable it should be fine. it is a safety latch and on some cars there is a button by the lever to release the catch. it is safe to operate without this hooked up but can be shifted by kids with the key off... hence the safety switch. normally not a problem for most people tho

An intermittant noise occurs from
You are suffering from *** drag syndrome. that means your rear end airbag suspension system is dead and the cost to repair it exceeds the value of the vehicle. When you see big or just expensive cars, BMW, Caddy, Land Rover, 5th Ave, Lincolns, etc with their rear ends a few inches off the road or banging on curbs you know they have it too. Those systems were designed to last 5 years which is when the original owner trades them and they get dumped at auction as the dealership will not want to sell them used to buyers who will come back complaining. So avoid them in the future. a canadian company called strutmasters makes kits to replace the whole mess, but buying and installing it is most likely more than you would want to spend on a 10 year old car.

2001 lincoln town car, when
Call an autorecycler and ask them to find you a replacement seat. The doodads which make these car cost more have a short life span. If you want long life, stay with plain jane stuff. You need a new seat motor and a replacement used seat will cost less than a new seat motor and the cost to swap a seat in and out will cost less than the labor to take the seat out repair it and then put it back together.

Please, My linoln town car, th heater not work, I
I will try to answer this at no charge. If you have no Fan, the blower motor resistor is probably bad. If you look under the hood and follow the blower wires back to a connection there will be 2 small bolts attaching it to the Firewall. About 90% of this part is concealed and it is about the size of a pack of cigarettes.
On some cars you will need to remove a heater hose before you get enough room to clear the engine. A good feature for this part is that you can switch the wires to this part and it will instantly fix your problems before you remove the old part. Remember the engine does need to warm up, AND the controls do need to call for heat. But the fan should work instantly if it is not turned off.
Now the Blower Resistor is expensive, even as a used part. The Climate Control in your car has a self-diagnostic which will help someone with the Codebook and the spare parts. You will not waste your money on buying a part you do not need. But some of the Diagnosis results in trial and error for the Technician, so he does need a supply of new parts.
Its your choice. If the fan is your complaint, now you know the part that will probably fix it. If you have other problems, let someone run the Diagnostic and be done with it.

I have an american coachworks
Given, if ALL FUSES are good, then there must be a relay somewhere... (or a fusible link, which ford's were known for, ugh). Also, if there are two batteries, usually there's an isolation device that's used between the two batteries. One of the batteries might be dead, which you can get tested easily, or if not, I would examine that isolation device closer.
