    Yes... the blend door actuator issue

    Well, the passenger side doesn't do anything and the drivers side sounds as if something is being dragged through a bunch of leaves. I pulled the door panel and gave a quick look. It could just be the clutch cogs, certainly has a stripped gear sound. Either way, my guess is the motor, window and...

    Yes... the blend door actuator issue

    OK... just to have some documentation for others... My Lincoln's VIN states it is indeed a 1998, although it has elements of a 1999 as well. The door tag says 5/1998. Through no0c's gracious and thorough input and provision of actual Ford Shop manual information, my actuator and venting is a...

    Yes... the blend door actuator issue

    So I got most of it out, air bag, glove box, vent etc., but there is one location where the instrument panel outlet tube is attached that I can't figure out how to disconnect. Of course I see no way if I did to ever get it back in either. Pulling the air bag and panel as well as removing the...

    Yes... the blend door actuator issue

    Also, when I do an EATC test I get two codes, 24 and 81. I can locate the 24 definition, but can't seem to locate the 81 definition. I guess it doesn't really matter, I know what the issue is and have heard all the tell tale sounds and can feel the evidence. I will be bypassing the heater core...

    Yes... the blend door actuator issue

    Greetings everyone, Yes, I am confident that the blend door actuator in my 1998 Town Car has bit the dust. I am only getting hot air and have heard the tell tale sounds emanating from behind the dash. I live in Florida so heat isn't much of an issue, but cold air is. I will replace the...

    Device covered and right of the air cleaner driver's side

    Oh, also.... I paid $200 for two and as no0c stated, they have a lifetime warranty. Blessings

    Device covered and right of the air cleaner driver's side

    Not sure if the "drive by" was in reference to me or not, but I certainly am not. I just replaced the Air Springs with Arnott springs as suggested by no0c yesterday. They seated fine and certainly helped. I still get the compressor coming on after the car sits for an extended period of time, but...

    Device covered and right of the air cleaner driver's side

    Again, thanks for the help GL. Here a couple of pictures that show the vehicle as it is this morning after sitting all night and before starting it. It doesn't seem too low, but to me, the overall car sits low anyway. I am a truck guy so any "car" to me seems to sit low. As far as the...

    Device covered and right of the air cleaner driver's side

    Thanks GL, FUBAR? I think I know what that means, anyway, no the car does not immediately drop. It will after a while, but very slowly. Any insight on checking the air springs or it is best to just replace them all? I have never dealt with air suspension outside of working on eighteen...

    Device covered and right of the air cleaner driver's side

    Hey everyone, What is the device that is covered, to the right of the engine compartment, to the right of the air cleaner and against the fender if looking at the car from the front to the back? It keeps "running" every few minutes and then shutting off. It sounds as if it an air compressor...

    Is that water I hear?

    Is that water I hear?

    Hey Everyone! Has anyone experienced this; when I accelerate, usually for the first use of the day, I hear what sounds like water running like from a pool of water from the front of the car. It actually sounds like it should be running into the passenger floor board, but I cannot locate any...

    Hey everyone! I just purchased a 1997 Lincoln Town Car Presidential Edition. White int/ext with a blue "fake" convertible top. 48,000 miles. Love it. I just started experiencing a couple of issues, I don't think anything major, and hope to get some help here. I have tinkered with mechanics...

    Noise uner the hood

    Greetings! As I posted in a previous message I just purchased a 1997 Lincoln Town Car Presidential Model. It has been running fine, except for my previous post, but there is another issue I thought of after clicking submit. The car has a sound that starts after the car is started that sounds...
