Battery draining at rest. check for drain turn off all accessories. disconnect ground. attach a testlight in the bridge between battery and ground cable. if the test light glows start removing fuses one at a time until the light goes off. replace each fuse that doesnt quelch light immediately. when you quelch the light you have a circuit to inspect thsat is draining the battery

SOURCE: 2004 Lincoln navigator misfire on cylinder 8 error code p318

Replace the coil pack once more. I went through 2 new ones on my f150 on one cylinder. One worked, the other didn't (both new off the shelf). Condensation build up in the boot caused mine to misfire. Anytime you replace a coil pack, squirt a little silicone grease inside. This will prevent condensation from hitting your plug. Fords are notorius for this problem, especially if you live in a humid area. Also, make sure and clear the codes after you make the repair.

SOURCE: Problems with Gearshift 2004 Lincoln Navigator

Turn the key forward a notch then it should come out. If you are turning the key all the way off it enables the accessories (radio etc), locks the key in the ignition and disables the gear shifter.
If thats not the case then there is a button to be depressed so that the key can turn anticlockwise>off another click and the key can be removed.
It'll be one or the other....faulty ignition lock is the only other diagnosis

2004 Lincoln Navigator turning on the headlights kills the engine. Why?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

How old is the battery? Do you do a lot of short journeys. Put the battery on a 6 amp battery charger for 8 hours. If the battery voltage drops below 11 volts there isn't enough power to run the electronic fuel injection.

It is a rare issue. Mine is a guess, but I think it is a good one. It is a big vehicle and has a HUGE electrical and electronics system, plus it is winter which affects batteries and power delivery.

I have a 2004 lincoln navigator v8 and I just replaced the alternator and the wiring harness but the battery keeps going dead any idea what it is

batteries can self discharge from internal failure and this can be checked by a battery load test
it may prove that replacing the alternator was not necessary
however on some units
there is a diode that stops the battery discharging back through the alternator when everything is off
wrong battery terminal installation or flashing will damage the diode
best now to have the reason for the discharge investigated by ab accredited auto electrician starting at the battery

I have a 2001 lincoln navigator and my battery died but now my computer keeps resting what do i do to fix it my fuel pump relay keeps shuting off and when i shut it off my heat turns on and my mile meter...

I can only offer some help for the Odometer and it may clear up a few of the other things. Your battery died for a reason. If it was not due to age, then it was not being charged.

When an Alternator starts shorting inside its case, it electrifies the body. I had a Lincoln which had both the speedometer and odometer react to a bad Alternator. Have it checked.

Something is seriously wrong. I do not understand what you mean by the computer resting unless it is blank.

The Dealers have some wiring machines which test the wiring looms inside your car. This would be a good idea because the original design of your wiring protects it with fuses and circuit breakers. But, if the wires are crossed, the battery may run down from the short, a fire could even start.

Although having the Dealer look at it may be expensive, there is less chance for damage. If you have FULL coverage on your vehicle, you may already have Fire damage and the insurance company would fix it. This would explain the wires connecting seemingly unrelated areas of your car.

What can be draining the battery on my 2003 lincoln navigator ...

Hi,
Firstly I would get checking the alternator. This should charge the battery as you drive but if it is broken the battery is technically on full power all of the time, even at night when you are sleeping.
The next thing i would check is if you have added any extra electrical equipment lately (speakers, amplifiers, lights etc) as they may have been wired directly to the power and may be taking the charge from the battery.
Hope this helps

2004 ford expedition charging system failed?

Sounds like battery not holding charge. Or a light staying on, boot or glovebox? Most likely battery tho.

I have 1999 lincoln navigator and I stopped to get gas and car did not start back up,had battery charged and 5 miles later dead. So I changed altinator to new one made it home. The next morning truck is...

Sounds as though your battery is not capable of taking
a charge & is in need of replacement.

Was the old alternator tested BEFORE you replaced it

You learn nothing by just replacing things,correct diagnoses
or on a guess

When you say what is that

There a a dozen things that could it be

Battery
Battery Cable issues
Electrical issues such as a bad ignition switch

It starts but quits,so you have an open circuit somewhere

Can not even guess at that, need to see a wiring diagram
after experiencing the problem first hand
