IN THE FUSE BLOCK UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE DASH LAY ON YOUR BACK AND LOOK UP

If the engine seems to be running well, the problem is not likely with the thermostat, but with the blend door in the heater control box. These have a tendency to get stuck over time. To see if the have the potential for heat, warm the engine up to normal temperature. Then under the hood, find the heater hoses. They are smaller diameter hoses (about one inch in diameter). There are two of them one runs to the heater core, the other is the return line fell both hoses. If they are warm to the touch (almost hot), then you have coolant thru the core. If only one side is hot, then you may have a clogged heater core. If there is heat on both, the problem is in either the dash controls for the heat, of the blend box under the dash.

there is no per se fuel relay. it has a ccrm. constant control relay module, its located near the air cleaner box. I presume this is for a no start condition.

My scanner from actron was recently updated . I don't have a specific p2c39for you vehicle but the entire p2cxx series has to do with "Oxides Of Nitrogen Exceedance". That should give you an idea. My guess is it needs a tune up. NOx is up.

Your vehicle has a safety system that won't let you take it out of park unless you have the brake pedal pressed ! Your brake switch could be shorted inside causing fuse to blow ! Shift Interlock System A brake/shifter interlock mechanism prevents shifting the transmission out of the PARK position unless the brake pedal (2455) is applied. The system consists of the following components:

• an actuator activated by the key interlock assembly and brake pedal pressed input.
• necessary wiring.

The system operates as follows:

• The actuator is energized when the ignition switch is turned to RUN, locking the transmission range selector lever in the PARK position. When the brake pedal is applied and the stoplight switch (13480) is activated, the shift lock actuator is deactivated.
• The transmission range selector lever can be moved out of the PARK position.

The ignition/shifter interlock cable (3F719) locks the transmission range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position. It also requires the selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

there are 3 bolts holding the starter in plus the electrical connections

The air suspension module is located on the RF kickpanel. It is the black module with 2 connectors going to it. One black and the other white.

Don't worry about the fuse. Keep in mind when you remove the sensors & solenoids and such, the system will detect that and immediately shut down the system. You want it to do that....you just don't want to hear about it. This is where you cut 1 wire. Go below for instructions: Now, the area you'll be working in is the RF kick panel. First of all, lets make sure you've located the correct module. The air suspension module is behind & above the RF kickpanel. Then look for the black module with 2 connectors going into it. One connector is black, the other is gray. The gray connector is the one you want. The wire your looking for to defeat the check suspension message is the Dark Green with a Light Green stripe(tracer) located in the gray connector. It is pin #12, circuit 419, on the gray connector. Because there's allot of "spaghetti" up in there, the key to making this easy to do, is is to disconnect the gray connector by depressing the little center button, then giving that gray(light colored) connector a good yank to bring it closer to you for inspection. You should be able to see the wires a little better now. The wire you're looking for is the DARK GREEN with a LIGHT GREEN STRIPE. If you're still unsure if you have the correct bundle of wires, the wire color right next to it is Brown with a Pink stripe......and the wire on the other side(inside) is an Orange with a Light Blue stripe. Simply cut the DARK GREEN with a LIGHT GREEN STRIPE wire and put some black tape around the end of the wire that's coming from the module to keep from shorting out. Now push & connect the connector back up in the module, making sure to hear or feel the "click" when the connector is locked. Now, TURN ON the suspension switch in the trunk. If done correctly, you will never, ever have a suspension light again! Instructions how to do the complete conversion is available here.

The cooling fan isn't causing the engine to run hot, it's electrical and cannot heat an engine. It is turning on in response to your engine running hot. Check coolant level and age, if it's still running hot then check the thermostat - it could be stuck closed. If the thermostat is fine and coolant level is full, it could be partially clogged radiator or head gasket problem (a sure sign of bad head gasket is that your coolant keeps disappearing with no leaks).

Visually inspect for security lights flashing when you try to crank it. Otherwise take a hammer to the case of the starter while someone tries to crank it. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/chris_b82b45c59bcf133d

Sounds like you are in for a pricey repair, replace the compressor and have the system recharged or simply unplug the power to the magnetic clutch and roll the windows down when it gets too hot inside the car. By unplugging the compressors power supply at least the engine will not be spinning a bad compressor. The drive belt will simply spin the pulley without turning the compressor no matter what settings you choose inside the car. Expect at least 4 or 5 hundred dollars for a system cleaning ,compressor replacement and system recharge. Chances are the compressor has now contaminated the complete system with shards of material that can possibly ruin a new compressor if the system is not totally cleaned.

There is another release in the right rear passenger side of the trunk. A little WD-40 on the latch will help.

I don't have one myself but you might want to try Lincoln direct. It could be something that they would give to you free or at low cost since it involves emissions.

If this is a rear caliper, it must be pushed in with a caliper tool avail at Autozone, Advance, etc. The rental is Aprox $100, refundable when tool returned in good condition!
