Yes a common problem but easy to solve. The Moonroof has a drain pan with drains at the 4 corners. Over time the rubber drain hoses shrink a bit and then pull off the steel nipple. I stretched mine back into place and installed a hose clamp and never had a leak again. Others have had to add a...
Hey Greg! I am afraid with Ford abandoning the LS over 20 years ago any factory parts left over will be shear luck!
But this is a common problem so you might be stuck cutting a piece out.
I did find this place and they have a bunch of Lincoln Replacement Hood Pads. But nothing listed for the...
Glad yours was the blend door actuator. On my old 2003 LS Sport. The plastic loop the actuator connected to broke off. So the actuator was fine and did move but it was no longer connected to the blend door itself. It was a bear replacing that broken blend door!

Agree with cammerfe. We have seen this many times. Try to rebuild your OEM one because as many have posted on this thread the replacements are hit and miss. Do you still have the original unit?
Listen to SteveSC. Ford long ago abandoned the LS and I would NOT recommend you taking any LS to a...
What are you using for a scanner? It might not be able to see all the codes.
Do you have a shop manual? Cheap to get on EBay if you don't have one.

The number one problem are the plastic cooling parts. They fail from heat and time. They will be full of micro-cracks that you can't see.
Since Ford has abandoned the LS many years ago they have also obsoleted all the cooling parts!
Spend some time searching this forum for details. Look for the...
A very clean engine that indicates regular oil changes. Now don't wait until those plastic tensioners come apart. Yours are already dark in color which shows they are old.
Here is an LS engine where the guy waited too long!
Note the color of the plastic in the above picture and compare that...
The LS is a complete orphan and Ford has long since abandoned having anything to do with it.
I would think deeply if you want to get into this.
Do some research on all the plastic cooling parts that are simply not available. So then what do you do?
I would get a different car and I loved my...
Do you have a service manual so you can research and look stuff up?
It's very handy!
You provided no car info? Year and engine need to be posted?
Here is a quick search and it returned 250+ entries. They are cheap at around $20.

It's an old car and it's up to you to repair it. No shop has any interest in a 25+ year old car.
As posted above always start with the codes and go from there.
Can you DIY this? Who replaced all the parts?

Research the common problems and get those fixed first. The plastic in the cooling system is a big problem with many threads. Parts are now difficult to find.
