Today I replaced my rear suspension in ole faithful, my v8 2000 LS. The parts I pulled off are heavily worn, but they include an upper control arm and sway bar link. I also changed the strut, pretty sure that one is OEM as well. Wondering if there is any interest in these parts even though the...

I have a gen 1 v8 and that DCCV (dual climate control valve) can cause problems. I'm guessing your fan is on normal speed and not off until the jet mode kicks in. From what I understand that jet mode is only supposed to kick on when the AC is running (maybe heat too) because it can cause the...

I checked RockAuto. They're out of the aircraft-grade aluminum thermostat housing upgrade, which I was going to recommend (you would find that under the 2000 Jaguar S-type). The motorcraft part listed for the LS V8 thermostat is RT1154 and has the flat bottom, like the second picture.

Check this and see if it helps. 02 LS 3.9 Expansion Valve replacement

Hey, I don't know how to fix your problem but I am curious if this is occurring after something was replaced or worked on. Might be worth explaining a little history for the gurus here. Best of luck to you man, I vividly remember the days my LS would overheat and I was always stressed about it.

I picked up some CRC QD Electronic Cleaner for the Battery Junction Box connectors.

Oh okay maybe my battery getting low was bad for that 15A fuse. Still don't really understand why it wasn't working when the fuse was testing good. Possibly the fuse was on its way out and it was the issue all along. Something kind of odd happened though. When I first put the casing back on the...

Would you mind explaining why you think the 5A fuse was the problem? Or linking something with the information? I made the post because I did not find the answer to why this was happening on the forum anywhere.

Checked all my fuses in the trunk. They all have some pretty gnarly corrosion on them but I replaced two that were blown. The 15A for the fuel pump was blown today (it was good previously I swear) as well as the 5A heated mirror fuse. Plugged the relay in, heard it click and the fuel pump...

Hey guys, thank you for the suggestions. I'm noticing a trend, everyone is trying to help me but I am not accepting it very well. My dad tried to help and look what I said about him. I will try to do better from now on.

I will be checking all of the fuses. To be precise are you talking about the alternator fuse? Transit relay fuse?

The battery in this car has died before, so this battery is maybe a year old. Gonna have to push it to a parts store because it cranks but won't start. Definitely appreciate the advice, I will have more time to work on the car next week and the mega fuse is coming in Tuesday. I haven't charged...

I don't even want to talk about it. Just want my car to run.

When the car is fully stopped in drive the headlights will dim slightly then come back on really fast in a strobe pattern. Happens on the tachometer light too. Thinking this is related to my electrical/water damage problem but hoping I don't need to replace the F.E.M.

Hmm looks like other people have issues with leaks around the tail lights from what I'm reading. Or it could be the moonroof drain tubes. Will keep looking since those sound like better places for water to get through. With the amount of water that gets into the trunk I doubt it's that tiny seal...
