My 1996 Lincoln Town Car will not start, as if a kill switch was set. the car runs fine for days and for no reason it won't start, I though it was the anti theft circuit, but have not been able to reset it. Check the fuel shut off switch in the trunk and that did not trip, though I can hear that switch motor as if the relay does not kick in, Could you help, Thanks Bob

Your best bet , take it an have some testing done . Fuel system , engine management system , electrical system test etc.... Could be any number of thing's ,guessing an just replacing parts doesn't work . Won't start how ? When you turn the key to start does the starter spin the engine ? Crank - no - start ! Or you turn the key an nothing happens ? No crank no start .

SOURCE: Anti theft light flashes and kills vehicle

I had the same problem and it turned out that I had hit the key fob accidentally, while in the car. I just had to hit the unlock button on the key fob. I hope this helps.

under the trunk lip (directly where the latch goes into the lock jaws; remove the carpet so that you can see the side of the trunk latch; on the latch jaws (bottom) is a switch that contacts the latch (top) this switch is broken or, mis-aligned it opens (stops the trunk motor) when the latch contacts it.

Done cars have a kill switch if they are low on oil. Check your oil. If the oil is good, it may be the ignition switch.
