First thing I would check is the thermostat. You can Google how to take it out. Put it in a pan with boiling water it should open. If it doesn't get a new one. They're usually not that expensive. Hope that helps.

Inside of the door will you will see a small button switch. This switch is what the computer uses to tell if there is an open door and turn on the interior lights. It should be located near the front of the door will and about half way up in the door jam. If you can see which switch is sticking they are simple to remove and replace. They will have a hex shaped bottum that resembles a bolt. Simply turn the old switch out and replace it with a new one readily available at most autopart stores and car dealerships (that have a parts department). You should never attempt to clean or oil any electrical component of a vehicle as this may chase the part to short out and pose a fire hazard. As always if you are unsure of what you are looking for (door jam light switch) please consult a professional. Happy motoring.

usually they are screwed into the manifold near or around the thermostat housing

It needs to be frimly connected sometimes the switch go's bad

heres a good read on PCV valves. if you have replaced all of that i would check your compression in those cylinders. bad compression can create this code also. But a PVC valve can create a lot of problems as you can read here. AGCO Automotive Repair Service Baton Rouge LA Detailed Auto Topics What...

Found this firing order. As far as the sensor, you talking about 02 sensor? Bank one has the number 1 cylinder, bank 2 is the other bank, sensor 1 is the first sensor you come to, in the exhaust.

Older models like this, manuals can be bought on ebay. Most websites claiming to have it on line take your money and then say they don't that that one.

Then what happened?

There are going to be tons of small hex-head screws holding plastic panels on. Take them all out. If you get stuck, tug on the panel and see about where its still holding on. Chances are there is a screw that you didnt see before. Dashboards suck to work on so be prepared to be very frusterated

Neutral safety switch is bad. Located on the transmission. It should start in park and neutral. Your park position is bad.

You can still drive, won't hurt anything, however vehicle would not pass roadworthy inspection..

The inhibitor switch on or in the transmission is faulty or needs adjustment depending on make...

thats depends on whats attached but you can remove it from car with a 1000 # lift if that's what your asking hope this helps mike

This could be a couple of problems. Check to see that there is nothing in the sunroof track. Believe it or NOT you may even have a worn sunroof motor. Over time it can drag down needing replaced. Need more info...how old is the Vehicle & does the sunroof open real slow in reverse direction. Are you able to close it helping along with your hand and the sunroof motor as well?

My car is really a 1975, but I couldn't find that choice in you pull down menu. I put the correct year in the notes section. I found another site that sells the complete wiring diagram for a 1975 Lincoln for about $6.00 thanks for your response...

Considering the age of the vehicle it is possible corrosion has eroded the reluctor rings, especially at the front, and increased the air gap so the speed sensor output has fallen to low levels and at lower speeds drops to zero so the brain assumes that wheel has locked even though it is still turning. A visual inspection of the rings will immediately give an indication of whether this is possibly the cause. The rings should have well defined teeth and the gap between the sensor and the teeth should be small - in the region of 1mm or less. The output of each sensor can be checked by jacking up and turning the wheel by hand after connecting a sensitive voltmeter or oscilloscope (if required). If there had been a circuit interruption; such as faulty wiring or sensors the abs light on the dash should be on and in that case a code read would be the quickest way to a diagnosis.
