Driver's side power is not working on my 2000 lincoln town car
If the driver's side power is not working on your 2000 Lincoln Town Car, there could be several potential causes for this issue. Some possible reasons for the power not working include:
- A problem with the power switch or control module: The power switch or control module is responsible for controlling the power to the driver's side of the car, so if it is not functioning properly, the power may not work. You can try resetting the power switch or control module by turning off the car, unplugging the module, and then pressing the "Reset" button on the module. If this does not fix the problem, the power switch or control module may need to be replaced.
- A problem with the wiring or connections: If the wiring or connections to the driver's side power components are damaged or loose, the power may not work. You can try inspecting the wiring and connections for any signs of damage or loose connections, and tighten or repair any connections that are loose or damaged.
- A problem with the power components: If the power components on the driver's side of the car are not functioning properly, the power may not work. You can try testing the power components (such as the power window motor, power seat motor, or power door lock actuator) with a multimeter or other diagnostic tools to determine if they are working properly. If the components are not functioning properly, they may need to be repaired or replaced.
To diagnose the specific cause of the power issue on your 2000 Lincoln Town Car, you may need to perform some basic troubleshooting steps and tests using a multimeter or other diagnostic tools. This will help you identify the specific problem and take the appropriate steps to fix it. If you are not familiar with car repair, it is best to seek the assistance of a qualified professional.
How do I reset the distance to empty
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.

4.6L V8 will not start and run is the claim. cranks good. but will not start and RUN.what are miles on the odometerwhen did engine perfect (never , last year, last decade?) historybased on its age 26yowhen was the last full tune up, (filters and all new spark plugs and 8 new COIL pack HV wires sets?>test for spark is next, (if engine is good)so test fuel used work per below but now fails. seems like spark is getting worse to me. https://youtu.be/064Ilsz8Fzgspark test is show above too.the 2 huge coil packs must never be wired up wrong, per my drawing below.the old HV wires are no good for sure 26 years old.if HV wires are replaced, on doing so 1 by 1, works not mixed up or spark timing is wrecked.if spark is bad some 1996 lincoln have Securilock Engine Immobilizer PATS' system. (optional day 1 new for sure)if the IMMO lamp is not happy it will never startbad key is top cause, or low battery, not kept charged testing any dead engine.the immo lamp.to see why SCAN the cars OBD2 (usa) DLC scan port see IMMO errors, clear as day if lamp is angry. could have lost memory of the keys or you could have a problem with the pats module. If either of these are the case a dealer has to do the work because you need special equipment and programming to access the security functions of your carthe cars users guide tells how the key and lamp work. got 2 keys?
How do u change the transmisson filter on a 2000 lincoln ls
From the sound of it you really are going to need a transmission service beyond just a fluid and filter change. Generally speaking, when a trans. filter becomes restricted, it limits the flow slightly. You're more likely to take off more slowly and shift more slowly. Hard hitting transmission issues gets into the clutches and solenoids.
You can always take off the transmission pan and replace the filter, it's not that difficult if you know how to properly re-seal the pan after properly installing the new filter. U-tube has many videos of transmission filter and pan replacements.
2004 Lincoln Navigator. No brake or # 3 brake lights all of the others do. Fuses are okay, the brake switch is okay.
How do you know the brake light switch is ok ? Did you check (with a voltmeter) battery voltage at the switch.

2003 lincoln navigator wont air up with new compressor
Try this.... My 2003 Lincoln Navigator was manufactured May 22, 2003 so it's the late model that came with the Intec 5.4 Liter DOHC V-8 (not the Triton engine). I replaced the two front ride height sensors (one for each air strut) and replaced the one rear ride height sensor (passenger side) that controls the ride height for BOTH rear air struts. That solved the problem for a few months during warm weather, until the weather started cooling off. Then back to the same issue. The front passenger air strut started releasing air from the solenoid (air block) making a "hissing sound." Replaced BOTH front air strut solenoids (connected at the top of each air strut). That also resolved the problem for a few days. After going all around the world, I discovered it's the Air Ride Control Module (ASM) that was the problem all along.
This is most likely the culprit for your air ride suspension problem.

Should I change my transmission fluid at 185000 miles
there is no answer to that (below Deity level grade)
to the word SHOULD
and the word WILL
no year told
engine option told and that tells what transmission is behind it
The EPA said dont;change AFT
the the maker of the tranny said yes at 60kmiles (most do)
EPA thinks you will spill it to the ground or a river and the maker does not lie (tranny maker)
now I will get my crystal ball out of the safe and look.
WILL it help or hinder.
well if the old AFT is all GUNKED UP nasty mess flush fill only makes it worse at 185k miles never done before at 60k and 120k.
all that gunk breaks up and lands where gunk,dirt and metal does do not belong.
the word CHANGING, well a simple drain only gets out 1/2 of it
out only a full flush and drain fully and refill works best.
YMMV
but but but
what if the engine is only weak
and power is Low from the engine,
what is it needs service , a tuneup.
a weak engine will make the tranny shift way late.
shifts slowly
my guess that means late.
but yes transmissions can slip.
this is witnessed by engine RPM rises fast and faster PRm
but MPH does not advance as RPM, that is slip (abnormal)
if 2nd gear is dead RPM might go 3500 easy never leaving 1st gear.
