Hey Guys,
I am new to the site and love that I have found people with a Lincoln like mine that may have similar issues.
I have had my 2001 Lincoln Continental for 4 and a half years. It has 124k miles. I have only put approx 30k miles on it in the 4 and a half years.- 8 cylinder 3.7
Here is my question/problem.
A few weeks ago I got a dead battery. It wouls start if jump started. The battery was originally replaced 3/10. The check charging system message displayed, battery light came on, lights dimmed, radio died, check traction control warning came on, ac kicking on and off and then wont hold a charge.
I replaced the battery and was told that the battery was being OVERCHARGED and that it could be my ECM instead of my alternator and I would need to bring to the dealer to fix!!
Is it possible that its a bad regulator in the alternator instead?
Thanks for any feedback,
Paul
