I don't have an 08 instead I have an 06 and my manuals are for the 06. Though I would imagine that not much has changed for the HVAC system in 2 years. So I looked up your problem in my 06 manuals.. Here is what it says.

1. Turn on engine, select defrost, select maximum blower: Does sufficient air flow from the defroster outlets? You indicated NO: Go to 11: "Go to Air delivery improper"
2. Now under Air Delivery Improper: Turn engine ON with Blower OFF: Is the blower off? You indicated YES
3. Place blower motor control in each speed postion: Does blower motor operatate: You indicated YES
4. Does the blower motor operate correctly for each speed position? You indicated YES (You didnt mention that it did not since its not what you were asking about)
5. Is the HVAC control assembly inoperative in all positions? You indicated NO You mentioned that it worked in a few of them
6. Test the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the HVAC controller for an open, for a high resistance or for a short to ground.
7. Inspect for bad connections at the harness connector o the mode actuator.
8. Inspect the mode door and any attaching linkage for any binding
9. Inspect the ductwork for any debris that would prevent airflow through the duct work.
10. Inspect for bad connections at the harness connector of the HVAC control assembly.
11. Replace the mode actuator.
12. Replace the HVAC control assembly

Does it not physically move to highest position or does it just not work on number 4? If it does not physically move, then switch is likely bad. If it don't work on number 4 then switch or resistor could be bad. You can test power with a voltmeter from the switch and to the blower motor to determine which one is the faulty one.

The issue you're describing with your Nakamichi NA6605 head unit muting itself after installing new Infinity speakers could be caused by a few different factors. Let's go through some troubleshooting steps to help pinpoint the problem: 1. **Impedance Mismatch:** You mentioned that you replaced the factory speakers with Infinity 6x8 REF-8632cfx speakers. These Infinity speakers have an impedance of 3 ohms, while the original speakers were likely 4 ohms. This difference in impedance could potentially cause issues with the head unit's output stage. Some head units are designed to handle a specific range of speaker impedances. Make sure the Nakamichi unit is compatible with 3-ohm speakers. If it's not, this impedance mismatch could indeed lead to the behavior you're experiencing. 2. **Wiring and Connections:** Double-check all your wiring connections. Make sure that the speaker wires are properly connected and that there are no loose or exposed wires that could be causing a short circuit. Incorrect wiring can cause the head unit to detect a fault and enter mute mode. 3. **Power Supply and Ground:** Ensure that the head unit is receiving a stable power supply and that the ground connection is solid. Voltage drops or poor grounding can lead to unstable operation. 4. **Short Circuit Protection:** Many modern head units have built-in protection mechanisms that detect short circuits or incorrect impedances. If the head unit detects a problem, it might enter mute mode to prevent damage. Check the head unit's user manual to see if it has any relevant protection features. 5. **Head Unit Settings:** Check the Nakamichi unit's settings, especially those related to speaker impedance or output settings. Some head units allow you to adjust output settings based on the connected speakers. 6. **Firmware Update:** If there's a firmware update available for your Nakamichi head unit, consider updating it. Firmware updates can sometimes resolve compatibility issues. 7. **Test the Speakers:** To rule out the possibility of a faulty speaker causing the issue, you can temporarily disconnect the Infinity speakers and see if the head unit behaves differently. 8. **Professional Inspection:** If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be best to seek the assistance of a professional car audio installer or technician. They have the expertise and tools to diagnose and address complex issues with car audio systems. Remember, electrical issues in car audio systems can be complex and require a methodical approach to troubleshooting. If you're not comfortable diagnosing the issue yourself, it's best to seek professional assistance to ensure a safe and accurate resolution.

is radio comparable with the vehicle and or has it been hooked up correctly

It’s a ground, if your amp still won’t turn on after u finished installing Then use brown one as a ground and ground it to the same one as your amplifier.

You can buy an aftermarket radio harness adapter for your Navigator from ebay quite cheaply. I would not recommend butchering the factory wiring to install a replacement head unit. I found this one (will work as long as your Lincoln wasn't fitted with SATNAV) - Lincoln Radio WIRE HARNESS INSTALL STEREO PLUG 2003 09 eBay

You need to make sure the amp turn on lead is connected... its blue with a white stripe

Need more information. Are you talking about close to the camera or at the end that connects to the radio/display?

I tried to recategorize this question to get it into a more probable area to get a response but found that there just isn't anything suited for this question. I would try some forums that have more specialized and probable answers to this. There's a ton of information if you locate the places that discuss these topics. Or even try ebay, there's a good chance you could find exactly what you need there or even have the question answered by a seller for free. It never hurts to ask nicely.
