In the last few days my car alarm has just gone off for no reason. It first started at about 3 or 4:00 a.m. The next day my ride levelers went out on the back of my car and I had them replaced with struts and shocks. I have my car out of the shop, but the alarm is still going off sporadically. Any ideas? Can the sensitivity of the alarm be adjusted?
there is a plug to the rear lock cylinder try unplugging it and see if the alarm stops going off also you can check the underhood switch make sure it isnt bent or broken

The battery on my car died, and so did my radio with it. After charging the battery i discovered that the radio is no longer working,all it says is "code". What is this code and where can i find it other than taking out the radio or getting it from the 'porfolio' (my car bought used came without this portfolio). Thank you.
If you do not have the code written in your owners manual or on some other piece of material you got with the purchase of your car then the only way to get the code is to remove the radio, check the serial number and call BMW with that serial number. Good luck!

I have a 2001 lincon Towncar and has no fuel pressure and no power to the fuel pump. Where can I find the fuel pump fuse/ or relay?
In most cars it is located at the fuse box or relay fusebox inside the engine compartment or near the fuel pump itself. It could aslo be the fuel pressure regulator if the fuel pump is good.

I have a Lincoln Contential with 62000 miles on and runs perfect except my check engine light is on. We've disconnected the battery and the light is off for about 120 miles, then it's on again. As I said the car runs fine, no backfiring, good gas milage.
Could it be a "suggested" service is causing the light to come on?
yes...they do program the computers to come on or give a "service engine soon" light so that you will bring them back into the dealership....if you have access to an obd2 diag tool you can reset the codes yourself

my 2000 lincoln continental is stuck in park. the car starts up but it won't move out of park. could i be the transmission? can i do anything to fix it or it has to be replaced?
Make sure you have brake lights.This is were the shifter solenoid gets it's signal from to get it out of gear.
One thing you can try is turn the igntion switch towards the run postion stopping just short of activating the electronics.Then try and move shifter to neutral then you can start it and out it into gear so you can drive it to get it fixed.

How to take off the door panel of a 2000 Lincoln Continental??
Driver/Passenger front: start with the correct tools. a phillips screwdriver will only remove the screws (two on bottom, two under cosmetic panel under inside door handle, and one at the top left [latch side]. The rest will require the tool, a wide forked, flat tool with a long (12") handle. It is designed to go around the plastic "studs" that are still holding the door on. there are about 6 or 8 of these. One is at the top almost separate piece by the mirror. just go down from there with the tool and you should be able to "pop" the rest of the studs out from there. Once those are all "popped" out, the door panel needs to be brought out at the bottom and then when it clears the door handle obstruction, lifted up and off, I closed the door slightly at this stage and set it in the position it's in when the door is closed.

where is the fuse for the interior lights on the 2000 Lincoln Continental.
There is one fuse but it covers many of the interior lights. Not sure if your having problems with them all. This fuse covers the door courtyesy lights as well reading lamps, storage bin lamps, glove box and a few other. If this may be what you're looking for it is in the power distribution box located in the engine campartment. It will be in the number 31 position (see diagram below) and it is a 15 amp fuse. I hope this was what you are looking for and that it helped. Good luck.

How to bleed cooling system on a 2000 Lincoln continental
The generic way is to raise the front of the car as high as possible, fill the coolant recovery/surge tank all the way to the top and then run the engine until it reaches operating temperature, do not overheat this engine! Now shut the engine down and let it cool off, you can run cold water over the radiator to speed the cool down, it will gravity self bleed, repeat as needed.
