U must remove the climate control unit from the dash and remove the top cover of the unit, u will find a tiny twist in light bulb socket with a tiny little light bulb, this provides the backlight for the AC/heater display, u can buy the bulb at any auto parts store, couple of bucks.
Radiator cooling fan is not electric, it is driven by a silly hydraulic pump which is located low on the passenger side of the engine above the alternator. All 2000-2002 LS's have this system. Most likely either the motor or pump has failed.
HI. Here are a few details about this remarkable sensor and its functions.
This sensor monitors the temperature of the engine and sends that information to the engine control computer to regulate the amount of fuel needed. More fuel is needed if the engine is cold; less if it's hot. If the temperature is extreme, the signal will be sent to the temperature gauge as a visual indicator of overheating and imminent danger. The location of this device(Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor) will be on the passenger side of the cylinder head, under the third intake port from the front in the valley of the engine. White/violet, and brown/white will be the colors of the(2) wires that connect to the sensor.
NOTE: Be sure to purge the coolant system before replacing this sensor.
I commend you for wanting to replace it yourself, but if you don't know what it looks like and how to locate it, I doubt you can replace it. You need wrenches and a socket set. You are dealing with a large amperage cable and if you disconnect the battery, you will have to input the radio code and reset the alarm and engine immobilizer. Usually you access the starter from underneath, so you need a jack and axle stands, or a pair of ramps. And it is HEAVY. It is on the side of the engine, so better than some, but they hid it under the left bank of the angled V6 engine..https://www.autozone.com/batteries-starting-and-charging/starter/lincoln/ls It is hidden behind the right front tyre. Location
On most of Ford's line of vehicles, including lincoln, the inertia switch is normally located in the trunk, under a plastic or fabric cover. hope this will help

It sounds like your AC unit could be overheating or even damaged.AC units have a sensor that will turn them off automatically to prevent damage from overheating. If there is an insufficient amount of air flow, the unit will heat up, and then eventually turn off.When the car is moving, more air is forced over the unit, likely keeping it cool enough to run, however, when the car come to a stop, it loses that air flow, and quickly heats up. Thus, the AC would work while the vehicle is in motion, and overheat and stop when the car is stopped and idling.However, the AC unit could be completely blown. The cold air while moving could be just a case of air being forced into the car. Think of a house fan, the fast the wind blows on you, the cooler it gets.... Thus, it could be an illusion that the AC is working when car is in motion, when it really isn't.Hope this helps.
2000 LS cooling system is a very tough system to diagnosis. Any kind of air in system will totally stop the flow and cause it to heat.That is the reason it has 2 places to bleed the air from the system.The one at the engine where the upper hose connects and one beside the brake booster near the degas bottle(rubber tube with a screw end).
The cooling fan is also hydraulic and has it's own power steering pump. The good thing about this system is that it uses a cylinder head temp sensor that measures the metal temp and not engine coolant temp. When the PCM sees the CHT reach a certain temp it will start shutting down 4 cylinders at a time and use these cylinders as actual air pumps to help cool the engine down.If this does not work it will then shut the engine down totally until the temps come back down.
The most common problems we see are thermostats,crack degas bottle,or a leak somewhere,and of course air in the system. Have not seen a cracked head yet however did see one that pushed the plug out of the cooling port in the head but this also filled the oil with coolant.
Have also seen cooling fans that would not work until PCM demmanded high speed,caused by a weak power steering pump.
Based on the information you provided, it sounds like there may be an issue with the body control module (BCM) in your vehicle. The BCM is responsible for controlling various electrical systems in your car, including the brake lights, turn signals, and remote keyless entry.
When the BCM fails, it can cause intermittent issues with various electrical systems, and pulling and replacing fuses may temporarily clear the problem.
However, it is also possible that the issue could be caused by a loose or damaged wiring connection, or a faulty relay.
To diagnose and repair the problem, it is recommended that you take your car to a qualified mechanic or dealership with experience in electrical system diagnostics. They will be able to run diagnostic tests on your car's computer system to pinpoint the root cause of the issue and recommend the necessary repairs.
The DTE is automatic and is the result of your previous miles per gallon multiplied by the gallons of gas registered in your tank.Unlike the Trip miles, this DTE number can not be reset. It will vary by the fuel mileage per gallon recorded at each startup. That is why if you filled the tank and showed 400DTE you may have had 20 Gallons multiplied by 20 MPG. But if your new average is 16 MPG then it would show 320 DTE.
My father inlaw just purchased a 2001 lincoln, with a six disc changer, Question is he loaded the unit ,and now he wants to eject the cd's and the changer won't open? any suggestions thanks
