2004 LS V8 with factory THX Nav When you hold the audio and menu buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds a screen pops up requesting the (possibly three-digit) pin for access to the Diags (diagnostics). Does anyone know the pin? What should I see after entering the pin? Thanks in...

Which engine? What options? What color? What extras? Be specific. :cool:

Carfax Reports You guys and gals that rely on Carfax reports read the following: :mad: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article? AID=/20070409/AUTO01/704090330/1148 (This is all one long URL)

Drop in at your local Lincoln-Mercury service department and they will do a quick re-program of the fob. When the battery dies, so does the link to the car. :D

Ken, I know what's it like to part with an old, reliable friend. I so miss my 1941 Cadillac Model 60 with the LaSalle 3-speed tranny. It took a while to hit 120 MPH, but what a ride. And, I miss my 1966 Mustang with the pony interior (in red). It was the bane of many state troopers on the Dixie...

I write my text in Word, use their spell-checker, and cut and paste into the reply window.

I knew a fellow once that had a million miles on his car - and always did his own repairs. He lived near Springfield, Ohio and worked in a tool shop in Indiana, and drove the trip every day until he retired. The car looked used, but still ran, very smooth. The man said Budwiser bought the car...

I wonder if this a FOMOCO problem. I had a new, super-duper silver 1966 Mustang and took it to the first power wand, 25-cent car wash in Ohio (WOW- I can spary the underbody and the engine instead of steaming it) and proceeded to spot strip almost all the paint off the car body. The local...

Need some help here. I downloaded the 04-05 manual (over 30 hours on broadband service), downloaded/installed Daemon Tools 4.0.3 X86 (Win XP version). Rebooted and have the Daemon icon in the tray. I right click and select Mount Image for Device 0: [F:], select the 04_05.iso file and click on...

And, Mr. Cool, if you put the key in the driver's door lock and hold the key in the lock position everything will close and you will be really cool. :cool: Man can not live by chocolate alone… But a woman can! ;)

On a really cold night, after a good snow fall or when ice is prevalent, find a super slick vacant parking lot with lots of room and few light posts or other obstructions. Get up to about 25 – 30 mph and whip the steering wheel hard one way or the other. With the Autotrac on there is not much...

I have spent many hours and days perusing the postings on this forum and find it enjoyable. I also have owned Lincolns since my first beast of a Continental in 1971 (460 CU IN and a ride like a cloud). I have found a running thread for the Lincoln LS that is representative of the Form Motor...

You made an interesting comment - "everyone around here has them" - meaning the samme wheel as you. Now you want to be different and stand out, which is fine. I don't know about Hampton, but in the Dallas - Ft Worth area, if you stand out, soon your stand out is for sale in Mexico, after being...

If the trunk lights are reflectors in my version of the car, and light up in an LSE, can I buy just the truck lid units separately? Is the wiring there and not being used?

I have a 2004 LS V8 Ultimate. How do you set up the inside tail light units – the ones in the trunk lid – to be on at night like the LSE model. Do I need a new unit or can the existing units be lit? Are the wires already available in the loom? :feedback Thanks.
