Hi everyone, I would be so grateful for any help solving my car's problem, I am losing my mind and hope here! I am driving a 2006 Lincoln Zephyr. The car has been in great condition except of the recent problems. About 2 months ago, the car died while driving down a 30mph road. I had it towed to a Goodyear, they couldnt figure it out, then I had it towed to a Lincoln dealership and they couldn't figure it out either. Both of them could not replicate the problem, the car started right up for them. When I tried to start it, it said "check charging system". Lincoln dealership inadvertently disabled the remote starter (Yes I know they are bad news, it was the previous owner). I drove it home from the Lincoln dealership fine with no problems. Lately it has taken a longer turn of the key to start the engine, and last week it wouldn't start at all. I towed it to Goodyear again, they said they can't replicate the problem and told me I should have the remote starter completely moved and then they can figure it out. I had it removed at a different place, and then drove it home. 3 days later, after not driving it all weekend, the car wouldn't start again! I towed it again to Goodyear, as now the remote starter is removed. My friend there said they still can't figure out the problem and even started the car too. They did get it to not start though one of the times, and he gave me the following analysis, and suggested I take it to a Ford/Lincoln dealership. He said: -could be a cam or crank sensor issue. while most times they fail, they give a check engine code. The car won't start because the crank crank of turning the key drains the battery and thus won't let the car start. This would require taking apart the interior motor. - could also be a fuel issue with the fuel regulator. *These are just his ideas, and is not positive. Has anyone had issues like this before? Anyone had a Ford/Lincoln that would randomly not start? Please help me!!!
SOURCE: 1999 Continental will not start
my 97 continial was turning over but would not start so my friend replaced the crank position sensor and she started right up
SOURCE: 1994 Continental occassionally hard to start, it cranks over, but, hard to start
sounds like rotor and shaft in the distributor
SOURCE: 2003 lincoln won't turn over but battery is good
This problem is the relay solanoid on the right firewall in the engine compartment. Relay powers everything in the vehicle excluding the stereo and the starter.

Sounds like short ore you leave some dash lights on to drain the unit. If relay start to make you upset die hard made a battire that you could shut off like secuirty thing to shut down the power it cost 150 i dont know they still make it

try disconecting the battery for 5 mins see if it reeboots computer.
Hello
The engine
and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train
are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and
TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a
problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the
computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some
exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature
sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in
its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems
memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read
you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and
resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL
A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR
HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM
