I think those are specific to the S-Type, due to the stupid J-gate shifter.

Well, 4 months of an unaddressed battery drain and she's dead again...surprised it lasted this long.

Drove it to 120k miles! Not bad for a timing chain clackin', flooded, blown suspension, 2-3 hard shiftin' LS!

Well, I had the alternator swapped and she runs like she was never flooded in the first place. I've confirmed that my battery drain is from a faulty AC blower fan (stays on after car is turned off, sometimes). Worst comes to worst, I'm sure I can just pull a fuse and just keep driving it.

Called it. My alternator started giving me some trouble yesterday, 20 miles out of Orlando. So I did the thing Italian car owners do when their alternators are causing some grief, which is driving faster. Made it to my destination and back, but she quit on me about a block away from my place...

Just ran diagnostics for the HVAC Control Module and I'm getting codes 12 63 and 16 76

And I figured out my battery draining electrical gremlin. The AC stays on even if I turn off the car and open the door. Thankfully, it goes off when I turn it off manually. Just gotta keep that in mind when I go places now.

Alright, I need some ideas here. How the F**K am I gonna get the driver seat out if the seat bottom is pushed all the way as far forward as it can and the back rest is as far back as it goes, too?

I've managed to confirm that it was indeed a fresh water flood. Hopefully that buys me some time to put together a DP on a car I actually want, cause if I'm getting a new car I'm not getting some FB Marketplace bucket @joegr how are your Genesis', BTW? '15-'16s sedans are looking really...

I know the risks, and I'm not planning on keeping it for long, I just need it to get me by cause I'm not in a position to even think about a new car after moving out of my parent's place. Besides, the only thing broken is the driver seat motor. Literally everything else works, despite being...

Pulled the battery and water was dripping out from inside it...not good. That's -$200 down the drain

Aaand let the electrical troubles begin! Either my battery is fried because water got into the trunk OR there's a short somewhere. Could just be that I left the doors open for it to dry up and it just kept beeping and binging (but I made sure to turn off the interior lights by clicking the lock...

I don't think it was salt water since I'm pretty far off the coast. Anyways, I finally managed to get it off the water and into a dry spot. Surprisingly, the alternator still works. The only casualty so far was the driver seat motor. Completely inoperable, but the inflatable lumbar still works...

Just when I finished moving into my new place, I wake up to this. She's done, and the worst part is that it's all on me since I didn't have full cover on it. 24 hours later, still too high to risk hydrolocking the motor Anyone here got a full tan interior they're willing to part with? Jkjk

A recent forum update broke the links on the thread that @RollinLS put together a while back. So I decided to take some time and fix it all up, so that it's easier for newb's to find what they need. Might fix some other threads if I find myself with some time to kill...
