Went to fill up with gas, yesterday, and the button to my fuel door release had fallen off somewhere. I already know that I can't get the switch at O'reillys or Autozone, but have to pay about $39.00 thru the dealership. Does anyone know if this is just a pull out plug, or do you have to take...

Just noticed power steering fluid on the inner tie rod hood and think I'm going to have to replace the steering rack, unless it turns out to be the pressure hose located above it. My question is: Does anyone have access to the labor hours book/software, that tells how many hours they allocate...

The air suspension system in my car, was changed out to springs, and everytime I start the car, the message Check ride control comes on. All I have to do is hit reset, and it goes away, but is there anyway to keep this from coming up every time the car is started? If anyone has a solution, I...

My owners manual for my 99 continental calls for motorcraft 5w30 every 5000-7500 miles. I've been doing it every 3000 miles, am I wasting money? Thanks, Bill.

Resolved.

My computer just started giving me this message each time I start my car. I've made sure the brake lights are working, but the computer keeps bringing this up, and I don't know how to clear it. Anybody have any ideas? Car is a 1999 Conti. No other problems and this isn't major, just...

99 Continental has developed a small leak on the front driver side. When I crawl under the car, I can kind of see where its leaking but don't know if that's just runoff from somewhere above it or what. Brake light hasn't come on, pedal is not spungy, leaves about a quarter size stain, after...

99 Continental. Owners manual says 5000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. I've been religious about changing every 3000 miles or 3 months, whichever came first. Am I doing an overkill on this? It would be nice to save the money by going the 5k/6mo route, any strong opinions? Using...

Engine hood on my 99 continental won't stay up, so I'm going to have to replace the two lifter struts. My question is, do these simply snap on, or is it a more difficult job? I would appreciate any input as to making this job, as easy as possible. I've got nearly zero mechanical skills, but...

Anyone have a suggestion as to what my possible problem is? Engine, and I think it's from the belt, is making a mild screeching sound, almost like a cricket. Car runs fine, but noise has got me concerned. Anyone who can tell me if this is really serious, I would appreciate. It's a 99...

1999 Conti flasher just started making sounds, when none of the turn signals, or hazard lights are turned on. Has this happened to anybody else, and if it is my turn signal flasher, can someone tell me how easy/difficult it is to replace myself. Did it about 10 years ago in another car and it...

I've used 87% for the last 5 fillups, and I haven't seen any change in gas mileage, performance, or noise. Has anyone else tried the lower octane gas and had different results. Thanks, Bill. 90% of my driving is highway which I put on cruise control at 55 and stay in right hand lane, and am...

Just hit 60000 miles on my 1999 conti, and wanted to know if anyone could address the pluses and minuses of doing the transmission flush, as opposed to just changing the transmission fluid. My understanding is that the flush will remove more fluid, but it doesn't include the filter change. What...

Thinking about changing the factory exhaust tips on my 99 conti, can anyone provide recommendations as to what looks really good, manufacturer, and dimensions? Do I stick with stainless steel, or is chrome the way to go? Thanks for anyone who can provide some help. Bill.

My 1999 Conti just hit 60000 miles, and I've got my maintenance manual, but I don't see anything about changing out the Oxygen sensor: with the price of gas the way it is, would this be a good thing to help on mileage, or a needless waste of money? Any input would be appreciated. I might add...

Can anyone provide information on restoring/cleaning a carriage roof. I've got mechanics grease on the top carriage molding above the rear driver side window molding, and I don't know the best way to clean it. I would prefer to have it professionally cleaned, rather than do it myself, but will...

Can anyone recommend how to clean a carriage top vehicle? Mine has gotten some mechanic grease on the side molding, above the rear driver side door. Is there detail services for carriage tops, or does anyone have some good info on this? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill.

I just bought a 1999 Lincoln Continental 4 months ago, with 54000 miles on it. My old car was a Cadillac Seville. The rear air bag suspension on the Conti, had been converted to coil suspension. I love the Conti, but the rear end, is a lot higher than what I've been accustomed to, and I find...
