    Okay, I'm out

    Bought a 2006 Chrysler 300 AWD Touring Limited this afternoon. Came down to $14,700 but I can't complain when the KBB value is almost $17k. I think the front of these cars are hideous but it's my wife's car so I let her choose. She really wanted a Charger but AWD Chargers are hard to find. I...

    Door lock actuators -- what's actually going wrong?

    Both of my rear door locks are bad. Driver's side will unlock but not lock. Passenger just doesn't do anything. I took them both apart a little while ago and everything looks great. I re-greased the gears and still nothing. So, I'm wondering if anyone has looked into what the actual failure...

    Second 12V at ash tray doesn't work

    The plug on the right works, plug on the left doesn't. Checked fuses just to be sure (even though one works) and everything's fine. Checked with a multimeter and I've got power both in the socket and in the plug. However, power at the socket itself seems wonky. If I check voltage at the center...

    Service Park Brake?

    Getting this message on the message center when trying to use the EPB. The brake will engage but disengages after a second and I receive this error. I disconnected the battery two weeks ago to reset a CEL which, I'm guessing, is the reason I'm seeing this message. Tried resetting the EPB and...

    Cooling system issue/leak

    I have a mysterious cooling system issue right now. Drove my wife to the airport yesterday, on the way home I get "Check engine temp" and it was showing hot. Pulled over with the car off, popped the hood, flecks of coolant on a lot of stuff at the front of the engine bay. So, I let it cool off...

    Cooling system pressure tester

    Do I need any special equipment or is the loaner kit from Advance Auto/Autozone enough to do it? I used it back when my wife had her Stratus and it worked great to pinpoint a hairline crack in the thermostat housing. Now, I've got a coolant leak on the LS but don't know where it's coming from...

    Power steering going in and out?

    Just drove the car this morning and noticed the power steering seems to be going in and out. The steering will randomly (pretty sure it's random -- I need to play around with it a little more to see if it sticks in the same positions every time) get stiff and then go back to normal. If you take...

    How did you guys route your aux cable?

    Just installed a PIE adapter today. The install is simple... getting the radio back in was a pain due to the extra harness that's added. I ran the aux cable out the bottom right of the ash tray area so it pops out from the center console trim. I can then hide it in the glove box when I'm not...

    Someone is running a sale (ends tomorrow) on the PIE adapter for our car. Here's the link. Just need to pick up a cheap RCA to 3.5mm cable to go with it.

    How subtle can a misfire be?

    Title says it all, really. I know the warranty on COPs has been extended to 100k miles for these cars, but I don't want to have the dealer check it and have to pay because they don't find anything. Can a misfire be very subtle? I noticed on a cold start that the car has a slight shake. It's...

    Inexpensive Valve Cover Gasket set on Amazon for $42.29

    http://tinyurl.com/88ehyhb Just thought I would link everyone in case someone needs a set. I just ordered one. I changed out all my plugs today and one coil/plug had a good bit of oil in it.

    Inexpensive Motorcraft Spark Plugs SP468

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130419962546 Not sure if anyone has really talked about an inexpensive place to get the stock plugs for our car. That's the cheapest I've found them for a pack of 4. I just ordered a set of 8 a little while ago.

    Free-spinning wheel stud?

    Not 100% of the problem yet. Went to remove my rear-passenger tire today to do the brakes and one of the lugs was really tight. I turned it with the socket quite a few times and it would get loose and tight over and over again. Then I realized I couldn't tighten it now either. It's only loose a...

    2004 Trans Fluid Additive

    I did a good bit of searching, but I keep finding the same threads over and over again. They all mention the trans fluid additive, but no info on it. I bought plenty of Mercon V today to do a fluid swap next weekend, but I wasn't aware of the additive. Is this something I need to get? I'm just...

    Stock floor mats

    Can someone snap a pic of the stock floor mats for the gen II LS? Not sure if a gen I is different or not. I'm fairly sure my mats aren't stock. The front two each have a Lincoln symbol in the center, but only one of them has a hole for the floor mat hook and it doesn't line up anyway. Plus...

    Rear door locks won't function electronically

    Did some quick searching, but I get a ton of results that have nothing to do with my issue. Just bought the car today, but didn't notice this issue until I got it home. Both of the rear doors will not lock or unlock with the driver's door switch or the remote entry. My first thought is failing...

    New from Gainesville, FL

    Just picked up a 2004 Lincoln LS Sport in white a few hours ago. Has just under 67k miles. No pics yet since it was dark when I got it back, but I figured I would check in and say hello to everyone. I've owned a couple cars in the past. My current DD (if you want to call it that -- I don't...
