The owners manual that comes with the car, would have the answer for you. You will need lo look in the index for Fuses, and will have diagram of the fuses, amperage, colors, and what it manages, such as lights, and so on. If its not found in the manual, it maybe an aftermarket install, and is ideal to take it to a Lincoln repair shop.

Locate the fuse boxes (there may be more than one) using a 12v test light (best) or test meter check both sides of each fuse while it is in place in the fuse box and both sides should provide power if the fuse is good.You may have to turn the key on and lights on to check all the fuses for power.A bad fuse will only light the test light on one side of the fuse.Another method would be to remove each fuse and visually check it for a blown out element but that will take a lot longer to do.

sounds like a speed sensor

Nothing you can do ! Best take it to a qualified repair shop that has the diagnostic equipment an knowledge resources to diagnose . Check AdvanceTrac message , DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes are stored .

the dealer didn't want to fix it so he fobbed you off overheating could be low oil or over full and as it is a Ford product , probably has a sealed transmission so with the light on you take it seriously I suggest that you take it to an accredited professional auto transmission shop and have it properly diagnosed if it is a sensor , that will be a lot cheaper than a transmission

Light on means codes are stored. There are well over 800 possible codes so guessing is a waste of time. Overheating could be caused by a radiator fan issue. But keep driving it like that and you'll soon be looking a a MAJOR repair for blown head gaskets. Overheating is #1 cause of gasket problems.

Does it have spark ?

Hey Kimberly... First... is the noise a high pitched ticking or a lower pitched knocking or clunking?? ...this is IMPORTANT>> Reply to me on here..please...

Some cars have 2 water temperature sensors with one operating the cooling fan and the other operating dash indicators. Since your A/C stopped working it sounds like the power may be off in a relay. Want to say go to reputable mechanic so you do not fry your engine. You also do not want to be taken for an A/C recharge you may not need. Cooling fan should work whether A/C is off or on. Some fans have 2 speeds so it is possible to need a replacement if only 1 speed works. You need someone to know the power routing. For instance, is the relay getting a signal from the temperature sensor? If the power is going to the relay, does it go to the fan? Is the fan bad on 1 speed or both speeds? This is independent of whether the A/C has a full charge. Be careful of the spinning cooling fan blades if the fan turns on without warning.

I would put the correct fuel in and reset the light and see if it still does the same thing before throwing parts at it.

Friend, do a compression check on all cylinders. The one, most likely #3, will show low compression because of a bad valve. This causes the engine to idle rough and once it goes into overdrive the whole vehicle shakes I'm sure. And since you've swapped the injectors around, and it still chows a 303 code, it wasn't #3 injector causing the misfire code. Keep all this in mind friend, this problem is indigenous to all these V6's.

When that happened to a vehicle I had it jumped time. Meaning the engine was damaged

that car has a intake manifold leak you have to check your car in the morning look in the plastic fill reservoir and it should be you to the cold line that is the line on top the hot line is the lower one make sure it is up to the cold ligne stick something in there if you can not see it

Not the egr valve , plugged catalytic converter . Take it to a qualified repair shop an have it back pressure tested .

Bottom Left Side Or Right Side Some Are Near Or In Your Transmission Or Gear Box

When were the Coils over plugs(COPs) and spark plugs replaced last? Is this a V6 or V8? Clean the MAF sensor for sure. don-ohio
