BATTERY DEAD MORE LIKELY.CAR BEEN SITTING FOR 2 YEARS GAS IN FUEL TANK WEAK FULL OF WATER, YOU NEED TO REMOVE DRAIN OUT OLD FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. YOU NEED ADD NEW FUEL IN FUEL TANK,CHANGE FUEL FILTER, IF CAR BEEN SITTING FOR TWO YEARS.I WOULD REMOVE SPARK PLUGS ONE AT A TIME REMOVE EACH SPARK PLUG SQUIRT FEW DROPS OF OIL INTO CYLINDER THEN REINSTALL SPARK PLUG, REASON I SAY TO DO THIS PROCEDURE IT HELP PISTON RINGS SEAL UP ENOUGH TO BUILD UP COMPRESSION SO YOU CAN START THE ENGINE WHERE IT BEEN SITTING TOO LONG.YOU NEED CHANGE ANTIFREEZE AND THERMOSTAT.REPLACE RADIATOR HOSES TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE,REPLACE AIR FILTER.

2001 Lincoln Continental. What wires from the module carry the power to the fuel pump please?

Question edited for clarity and typos, 'modular' > 'module'.

Also check the relay. You can put a pair of wires from the battery to fuel pump to test.

I had a similar problem with my Toyota Camry just a month or two ago. (maybe)

I would park it, and when I tried to start it again I would get NO power. I called roadside assistance and they sent someone out to jump me, but then it died again while I was driving, again, everything electrical cut out suddenly.

There was a bad ground wire on the alternator. A neighbor had it fixed for me in about 20 minutes.

At times fuel pump starts up & puts out 10 pounds pressure (fuel) and turn key on again later then builds up more fuel pressure .then the vehicle starts 2001 lincoln continental

your pump should supply 6- 10 lbs of pressure,, If you have to turn the key again to build it up more, you have a bad pump, its not holding a constant pressure, which will make for hard starts , and even if bad enough stalling of the vehicle

1995 lincoln continental. Sitting at stop light, abs light comes on, drove home about 5 miles and abs lignt on and off the whole time. parked car and now wont start. just clicks. any suggestions?

Anytime a starter clicks instead of turning over, you should suspect your battery is weak. Try to get a jump start and take the car to an auto parts store. Most of them will do bettery and alternator checks for no charge.
