    programmically pushing message center buttons to turn off traction control

    ...knowing I am on the right track, makes me think of things like a way to disable it, and that I should think about fusing it, so I don't blow the SCIL fuse I am tapping, which I know makes the car not drivable or lacking lots of important features. Also that I should add a cap for the input, I...

    Mark VIII Craigslist finds!!!

    ...LSC with really nice looking reflector for 16 bucks. I first tried to pop the trunk with the battery from my impact driver, but gen II uses the SCIL so it isn't a simple 12v signal on the button. I then took my harbor freight jump pack, bridged the trunk pop wires, and hooked up the box to...

    Pardon my ignorance, what does PATS and SCIL stand for? Learning acronyms! Thanks!

    Pcm problem

    In the 97/98 PATS is in the SCIL and not the PCM like it is for cars like the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis so like is mentioned already, a PCM swap isn't affected by PATS. Also it isn't VIN married so you won't have any issues with emissions testing.

    Gen II HID question

    ...to the original feed to the original ballast, but it wouldn't survive cranking (one or both would go out). I also got into situations where my SCIL module would get reset and many things wouldn't work until I pulled the negative battery cable and reset it. HOWEVER that might have been due to...

    97 Mark VIII Won't Start

    They are programmed into the SCIL and not the switch, so reprogramming wont be needed. Only thing at the switch is the antenna.

    97 Mark VIII Won't Start

    If you do not hear the solenoid clicking upon ignition, the cause could be a bad SCIL module.

    Safety Switch

    Do you have front parking lights? If not I would look at the SCIL. I bought a 98 that only had blinkers and hi beams. I replaced the SCIL and everything came back. There are two 98s in a junkyard by me. If you do in fact need a SCIL just let me know and I will go get it. There are very good...

    1997 Lincoln Mark VIII Headlight Conversion-Dimmer Switch Problem

    I understand that, but if they aren't hooked up correctly they won't turn on no matter what you do. You could be thinking of the scil, aka lighting illumination module. I'm not an expert in regards to the ins and outs of one but it seems like a possibility. Have you checked any fuses/relays...

    Hid issues

    Considering the summer time temps here - I'm only good for 3-4 years at most on a battery. 90% of the time mine dies during the 100% warranty.

    Hid issues

    I agree, a Gen II should be able to survive cranking, and it is likely my very old battery that causes one/both to not start or knocking out the SCIL. I am not sure I can say that turning on autolamp is what killed my OEM bulb, but it wasn't long after doing that, and the lights being on most of...

    ...waiting for my daughter after school for 30-45 minutes) and start the car and turn on the headlights quickly, it kills everything related to the SCIL, and I have to pull the battery cable and reset it. I am sure my 6 year old battery is the main issue there. I have the parts to do a relay...

    ...one of the 2 functions to not work. You will have to remove the column and disassemble to find out for sure, although it will set a code in the scil module that does not turn the check engine light on. Also good luck finding one, as they are hard to come by and usually sell for around $100. I...
