    TMC Module

    This sounds slightly different from my issue. My car drove even after the fuse tripped. In the end after disconnecting the EGR my car drove up until I sold it. Mike, I have a spare seemingly OEM solenoid pack that I held onto If you happen to be near the Dayton Ohio area, not sure this will help...

    E on dash. Transmission stuck in a high gear

    Just wanted to let you guys know what happened. I ended up slapping a 20 amp fuse in and unplugging the EGR. The car drove just fine after doing so. I think it’s probable that the EGR has a short based on this. The car has a lot of issues some small and others that are just sort of a pain. Oil...

    E on dash. Transmission stuck in a high gear

    The fuse now blows as soon as I replace it. Unhooked the EGR and now it doesn’t blow anymore. Ever heard of a faulty EGR doing this ?

    E on dash. Transmission stuck in a high gear

    Well that was short lived. Looks like the fuse blew again, back to the shop. I’ll update if we get it figured out.

    E on dash. Transmission stuck in a high gear

    Hi everyone, I’m happy to say that my Lincoln is now fixed. 04_Sport_LS I think you were on to something. The fuse was blown, after replacing it the car is fully functional. I still don’t know what the root cause is yet but I suspect the “new” solenoid pack off eBay (while Bosch OEM) ended up...

    E on dash. Transmission stuck in a high gear

    Today I swapped in the old OEM solenoid pack and sadly nothing changed. I inspected the solenoid pack that was in the car and it was pretty snug , I paid particular attention to the bolt connecting it to the wiring harness. Everything seemed to be okay with nothing obvious sticking out. I’m...

    E on dash. Transmission stuck in a high gear

    that’s exactly how I did the install. Had to cut a swivel wrench to fit in the small area. I regret not taking pictures of the process , I feel like someone somewhere could benefit from having step by step instructions. (Granted my install may have not been successful hence the “E” on dash)

    E on dash. Transmission stuck in a high gear

    It was very very cramped when I installed the solenoid pack. Maybe something just loosened up over the last 5k or so? The part really appeared to be new, so I’m hoping that maybe when I get in there I find out it’s not secured completely. As for being exposed to the elements , it wasn’t raining...

    E on dash. Transmission stuck in a high gear

    Last year (around august) I put a “new” solenoid pack into the car. Yes I bought it off eBay and it was listed as new. I inspected the part and it came packaged in a Bosch box and was inside in a Bosch bag with some trans fluid around it. I’ve probably driven 5k or so since installing it. With...

    E on dash. Transmission stuck in a high gear

    Hi everyone , I fear that my Lincoln is dead. Since owning this car I have always feared the transmission going out and I fear that it just did. (I let my wife drive the car and it came back this way, not pointing fingers just a fact). It’s a 2004 v6 with 157k. Anyways , the full story is that...

    Prepping the Lincoln for the long haul

    Okay that makes more sense now. I’m sure my v6 will be gentle on the Gen 1 LCAs. I’ll pursue that after I fix up all the other things oh my list.

    Prepping the Lincoln for the long haul

    What’s the difference ? Different material ?

    Prepping the Lincoln for the long haul

    alright so gen 1 LCAs are identical to gen 2 LCAs ? Gen 1 LCAs are so much cheaper and easier to find.

    Prepping the Lincoln for the long haul

    Good to know. I’ll look for that next time I’m under the car.

    Prepping the Lincoln for the long haul

    Could cracked or broken coil springs lead to the squeaking ? Am I incorrect to jump right to the bushings as the reason for the noise? Have yet to tear down the rear , hoping to do it in the next few months

    a/c will only blow out defrost or floor vents. help newbie here

    Yeah I still have complete control over where the air comes from., I won’t bother with putting in the hours to replace it if it’s unlikely to be the root cause of the drain. Do you know any typical causes for a parasitic drain on the LS? I have a couple of codes , need to replace O2 sensors I...

    Prepping the Lincoln for the long haul

    I did a lot of research several months ago about this topic and found a guy on the forum who put them side by side (gen 1 vs gen 2 LCAs) look exactly the same. Just no confirmation that it’s a good fit. I’ll probably just try to push them out with an arbor press, found the bushings on rock auto...

    a/c will only blow out defrost or floor vents. help newbie here

    Hi joegr, I have the b1263 code as well and also seem to have a parasitic drain on my battery , so you think there could be a correlation? I only tie this to my battery drain because it’s the only “circuit failure” code that I have. Also do you know where this is located ? Trying to keep this...

    Prepping the Lincoln for the long haul

    Really?? That’s a steal. I can’t find good prices on LCAs for my 04. I’m considering just removing both and pressing new bushings in. Are the 01/02 LCAs the same ??

    I do keep a fire extinguisher in the trunk for a reason.
