    DATC malfunction causes "passenger door ajar" message

    Need some tips here. 2006 LS with odd electrical malfunctions. Press passenger window down switch and the "passenger door ajar" message comes up with the message center beep. Window functions abnormally and I've had to pull it up a few times. Message goes away once the switch is released...

    She studdddders

    This weekend my 06 LS with just 50k miles started to hesitate and shudder right about 2k rpm. Happens in 4th and 5th gear when the engine is loaded for mild accelleration. Any sharp acceleration will drop a gear and go but that 1800-2200 range has started to buck. I'm assuming this is coils...

    Does it have that LS?

    I was just parking and asked "does it haul ass" Yeah I guess. Well, does it have that LS in there. Ummm no, it's a Jag v8 not an LS engine. *confused look* Guess the "LS V8" badge threw him off.

    2006 LS stereo install pics

    I wanted to share my install. Goal was to keep it looking factory and clean as much as possible. Car started as 2006 Lincoln LS with factory (sucky) NAV. Pioneer Head unit was installed last summer using the factory wiring, factory amps, and wire harness connection. Removed the trunk nav system...

    back up camera

    I'm getting ready to install a 4-channel amp and speakers to go with my Pioneer avh-4700 head unit and want to throw in a reverse camera too. I know the reverse lights are negative triggered and cameras are typically constant ground with positive trigger. What sort of relay, switch, or gizmo...

    New battery won't start car

    Hi guys. I'm having trouble starting my car. I know these are known for some electrical gremlins but this is my first time dealing with them. My last LS was relatively error free for 100k. First the background: 2006 Lincoln LS with under 50,000 miles. Has aftermarket head unit but...

    Odd whistle from the dash

    Here's an odd one for the group: I have a strange whistle from the front dash shortly after I start the car. Seems reproducible at the first medium acceleration after the car is started. If I keep it under 2k I don't hear it but that first time pulling out onto the highway or main road it is...

    HAIL Mary

    I got some hail damage on the aluminum hood, trunk lid, and front fenders last week. About 5 spots on the hood, 5 on the trunk and 3 on the driver's finder. The hail was dime size so the dents are not large, but I'm going to see them all the time. Has anyone successfully removed hail damage...

    Rear differential repair

    Car has developed a noticeable grind/howl from the back end that I suspected was the differential (aka 3rd member). Took it to the shop and they test drove it and put in on the lift to diagnose the problem. Shop said it was the pinion bearing going out making that noise. After the bill of...

    I've had several PM's so here is my for sale thread. These are NEW. Never installed, exactly as I received them from Geno so long ago. I just didn't think they looked right on my car. My photos aren't as good as Geno's, but you know what you are getting.

    OK not a complete teardown. I'm about to start my 100,000 mile tune-up. I've got gaskets, plugs, coils, filters, and the PCV elbow to replace. Need to pick up some RTV sealant and some anti-cease in the morning. I've heard of problems removing the bolts on the tower brace. Do you think...

    Remanufactured Wheels?

    Has anyone tried this site: http://www.autopartsfair.com/ They sell "remanufactured OE wheels". What exactly does that mean? Do they take an OEM wheel and copy it using their own factory? I've heard refurbished and reconditioned but never remanufactured. These are the wheels I'm looking at...

    v6 Engine Ticking

    So, I noticed a strange ticking noise coming from the engine yesterday while I was at the drive-thru. It was fast and seemed to increase with the RPMs but there was no hesitation or sluggishness. On the way home tonight the car lit the CEL. There are still no driveability issues but something...
