Gray Socket. I just replaced mine three days ago, as well as the clock spring (2002 LS). Just a heads up: If you want to pull out the instrument cluster to replace the bulb, you should tilt your wheel all the way down and extend it all the way out before disconnecting the battery, It will save...

I did replace the bulb at the same time I replaced the clock spring. Both needed to be done because I think the bulb burned out from being on for a very long period of time. Now I have a working bulb, and working horn and steering wheel controls. Well worth the hour and a half of labor and $120...

Just to update you: I changed the clock spring the other day in my 2002 LS. Pretty straight forward job. Not too complicated. I am including some of the info I used. I also pulled my instrument panel at the same time to change out the bulb for my airbag light, so it took a little more effort and...

I just replaced my airbag light yesterday on my 2002 LS. It is the Grey Socket bulb. Avaialble pretty cheap from rockauto.com, part: DORMAN 639048. This was a pretty involved job, but I replaced both the clock spring and the light in the instrument panel in about 2 hours. Just a pointer: to get...

I realize this is a really old thread, but I am having the exact same issue as Ben Seilheimer. Cranks and cranks, but won't start, only when it's really cold outside and it sits for several hours. If I attempt to crank it over again and again it will eventually start and run great... or wait...

Ok, joegr. I put a brand new fully-charged battery with 750CCA and no more gauges sweeping. Very strong and fast cranking. Still no start until about the 15 attempt. I don't want to overheat the starter, so I crank it for about 5 seconds and then stop and wait a minute. Eventually started and...

Thanks, joegr. I'll give that a shot.

So the battery could cause it to just crank and not fire?

2002 LS 3.9L It has the IAC valve because I can see it right under the plastic shrouding on the throttle body. And, Yes, the gauges do a sweep.

So, as I said in my first post I’m a new owner and new to the forum. I’m posting a new thread because I’ve spent hours scrolling threads looking for answers to this problem and I haven’t found anything concrete. When it’s cold outside (below 40F) my LS cranks but won’t start. A couple of times...

Thanks. I heard this will stop the dinging. I also need to replace the clockspring anyway because i have no horn or steering wheel controls i.e. cruise or volume. Can you tell me what bulb for the instrument panel airbag indicator? Gray socket or white socket?

I'll let you know. If it ends the relentless 5-chimes-of-lunacy it will be well worth the time, effort and $118 dollars I spent.

Thanks everybody for directing me to the Owner's Guide. I just got me new clock spring and stabilizer bar bushings from RockAuto. I'll tackle those two issues this weekend.

Hi All, I'm new to the forum and a new LS owner. I test drove one in 2002 and fell in love, but couldn't afford it at the time. Now, I am the proud owner of a 2002 Lincoln LS with 126,000 miles. From what I can tell it has most of the common LS issues. I have already purchased the clockspring...
