Will it hurt anything if I add a ground wire from my alternator to the chassis on my 2000 lincoln ls?

  • stephen peirce Oct 23, 2019

    Dave is also correct but you most likely have a ground strap if you can't find one please put one in attached to the engine ok

No. as long as you ground it by a mounting bolt. Might be pointless though. For your alternator is already grounded to the chassis. the alternator is grounded directly to the engine, the engine is grounded to the chassis. therefore your alternator is grounded already to the chassis.

No, as long as its the earth (- negative) wire as an improved ground helps give a stronger live (+ positive) hence the earth strap commonly found from engine block to chassis.

Kyle's answer is absolutely correct and your not gaining anything from doing this except an extra ground connection your entire engine and body and chassis are grounded so if you need a ground to be attached for something your adding pick the closest spot ok painted surfaces sometimes need to be scraped but a clean bolt with a wire wrapped around it will accomplish what your trying to do

SOURCE: 2000 Lincoln ls overheating

There is a hose on the side of the coolant resevoir that has a straight blade screwdriver fitting in it. Open the fitting and this will bleed the heads on the LS. Without opening this you will never get the air out of the head, trust me.

SOURCE: lINCOLN ls bRAKE lIGHT REPLACEMENT

One of 2 ways.......

#1) mounting screws on the exterior of the brake light lens.

#2) in the trunk behind the carpeting, usually this is the easiest way. either way the bulb is held in by a twist lock bulb holder.

SOURCE: 2000 lincoln ls heater not working...thermostat?

- If temp guage reads normal, the lack of heat may be due to the Heater Control Valve. Located in front of the radiator. Lower passenger side. A real bugger to replace.
- The plastic cap just over the thermostat is key in re-filling the anti freeze and bleeding air.

SOURCE: lincoln ls transimission fluid

It is located on the transmission pan. Their is a "fluid level check screw" that you will need to take out. You aren't going to be able to just dump a quart of fluid in and be good though. These transmissions are designed under normal driving conditions to never have to be serviced and that includes the fluid. But if your like me, you like to hot rod it once in a while. Then you should change your fluid every 45,000 miles or so. The drain plug is at the very bottom of the pan. You are gonna need a little over 11.5 quarts of Mercon(R) V Transmission fluid for the 3.0 as well as the 3.9 liter. The amount of fluid needed for the transmission is the same regardless of the engine you have.
Hope this post will help someone in the future. Also their is no dipstick to check the fluid level. You have to take the screw/bolt out on the side of the Tranny Pan.

2000 lincoln LS battery and power problems?


Not much to go on here. Have your battery checked out at your local parts store (O'reilly, Auto Zone, Advanced, Napa, ect.) as they will do this for free. If that checks out, then have your alternator looked at as well. If you are able to pull that, they will also look at that for free at those places, however the alternator is not in a convenient place in this car and access can be a pain. If all of those check out, I would point to a wiring issue of some kind

2000 Lincoln LS V8. Trunk lock cylinder is damaged and the battery is dead. Is there a way to provide power to the trunk solenoid or an alternate way to charge the battery?

You could connect jumper cables from another car or battery to the battery side of the starter solenoid. Connect the negative cable to the engine for a ground. This should make your trunk switch work.

2000 lincoln ls charging broblem, will start and run with new battery but when battery goes dead, the car wont start, the alternator is brand new what the hell is wrong with this car?

Have you had the system checked to see if altenator is charging? A bad ground connection can cause a no charge or low charge condition.I would take car to parts store and have them test the whole system.
