SOURCE: 2002 lincoln ls engine light

These cars are famous for leaky seals where the valve cover interfaces with the cylinder head, at the spark plug journals. They fill with oil, short the coils and cause a misfire. Driving it any significant distance can destroy your catalytic converters ad unburnt fuel ignites therein, creating inferno-like conditions and a fire hazard too. You'll get a "300 code", such as 301 if cylinder 1 is misfiring, 302 for # 2, etc. Pull the coil off the spark plug for that cylinder and if it is moist at all, that's your issue. Have new seals put in, or you'll just keep blowing coils at $50 a whack.

SOURCE: battery symbol came on and stays on.

I'd get a voltage reading from battery when engine off, and with engine running, then let us know. Voltage should increase when engine running, showing charge, ( 13-14 volts.) and not be too low (12-12.5 volts) before. It may be something intermittent, or even a loose or dirty connection at battery or other end of cables, so check condition of cables & make sure they are tight.

SOURCE: 1988 lincoln car will mot start battery is fine

Check your starter relay, it is mounted to the fenderwell near the battery. On the relay there is a terminal labeled "S" take that wire loose and check for power when the key is turned to start, if there is power you need a relay, if there is none you have and ignition switch or safety neutral switch problem.

Power windows inoperable on left side of my 2002 Lincoln towncar Cartier (front and back). The rear window quit working first and then later the front.window quit. After several months they started...

The only thing that is in common with both of those windows is the Master Control Window Switch. (The switch panel on the driver's door) A failure of this switch could possibly be the problem, but it is not real likely that it would affect both windows, and only intermmitently. The more likely cause would be that the window motors on both doors are sticking. Try slamming the door fairly hard while someone is holding the switch. If the window starts working, replace the motor.

Electrical Problem

Clean & inspect battery connections, (both ends), charge battery fully & have it load tested. I suspect bad connection, bad battery, and at worst, worn out starter.
