SOURCE: 1997 lincoln continental check steering assist light

Is the fluid full enough? there should be a dipstick to tell where the level should be. Also is the belt tight enough? Wires loose?

SOURCE: replace rear brake light bulb 1998 lincoln continental

pop the trunk and right behind where the lights are pull the carpet down and their will be of the following depending on the trim.

You will either see the light sockets themselves that you can twist and pull to change the bulb, or you will see the plastic nuts/screws that you can remove to remove the entire assembly in order to access the bulbs.

If it's your 3rd brake light, the screws to access the housing are located in the upper part of the trunk

Not a sensor or solenoid problem.

2000 Lincoln Continental transmission shift.

Question edited for clarity. I think you left the 'f' out of 'shift' and the site software redacted it. :>D

For this fault, you need a Transmission specialist. It is likely to be the shift solenoids but could also be an ECM / TCM issue.

The link will find you someone.
