1995 Lincoln Mark VIII - Page 4 Questions & Answers
Cruise control does not work
If you have not had the recall done, you need to contact a ford/lincoln dealer to get it done or looked at-even if you did have it done, I'd get them to look at it because it is a known fire hazard-they will look at it for nothing, and repair it if the recall has not been done or fix it if it has been done and the repair caused the problem. This is a serious issue, it can actually catch fire when parked, and has been the cause of a lot of damage.
Rear stays up to high, front goes down when
auto level system bad...known for this problem..replace with after maket shocks if possible,,you have to do some home work on which replacements to use start with a web search
How do i change the thermostat?
the thermostat is in a housing about a foot and a half below the top of the engine on the driver side, in front of and below the power steering resovior-it is usually easier to change it from below, and it is a messy job-drain teh radiator first, have a lot of rags and prepare for a antifreeeze bath. not a fun job.
Engine speeds up on it own
It
might be the TPS, but on these cars it is probably the IAC-Idle Air
Control, which is just to the left of the throttle body as you look at
the firewall from the passenger side. It is a joke to remove and absurd
to reinstall, but it can be done. First, though, try to use seafoam to
remove carbon from the intake (you actually stick a vacuum line, like
the PVC hose, in the can to **** it into the intake while the engine is
running-then let it sit for a little while, then start it up-prepare to
welcome the volunteer fire company because it should smoke a whole
lot-just annoying, not dangerous)-then, if you can, throw another can in
the gas tank. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and let
the car sit for at least 10 minutes, reconnect it, restart it and LET IT
IDLE for at least 10 minutes-do not give it any throttle, or drive
it-the sensors send new 'baselines' the the ECU. and this probably will
help get it back to a normal idle. If it doesn't, you need to replace
the IAC-sorry, it is a bear to do. Good luck.
Radio lights do not work

How to changeoil pan gasket
You have to gain access to the oil pan and remove sometimes you have to lift engine high enough to get the pan completely out but if you lucky you will be able to work it in and out.
Lincoln mark viii, front end lowers slightly when
You have a leaky airbag in the front end - a common problem for those vehicles but not a cheap fix either. There are aftermarket solutions to replace the airbag suspension but they are involved to install, making this an expensive fix either way. Check with local wrecking yards to see if they may have your specific model there for parts - but bear in mind their airbags may leak too. You may be able to find replacement airbags online - don't replace just one, rather both front bags to eliminate the need for repeat repairs soon after the initial.I would evaluate the cost of repair versus the value of the vehicle, unless you are restoring this car or planning on giving it to your child.
Good luck!!
