This is on a 2002 Continental, 79,000 miles. I have replaced the battery and alternator. Both new replacements have been tested and are fine. The battery will discharge in 30 minutes enough that the car will not start and the programming in the ride preferences are lost. This problem has...

No codes. They claim everything has been replaced. I studied the work shop manual. I am convinced it is mechanical. Each time it returns from the shop, there is a new and different complication. In the trouble shooting section of the manual, all the complications are related to the torque...

I will check with Ford when I get back in town. Which one has the most to do with the transmission? Are both involved?

I have a 97 Continental with 267,000 miles. The transmission was rebuilt at 214,000. It ran fine for 20,000 miles. I have had nothing but trouble since. It has been in the shop 4 months of the past 12 attempting to work out the problems. The shop now tells me I have a completely new...

I have a 1997 Continental with the Memory Profile System. The "off" light is on all the time. When I turn this light off, it cancels all radio station presets. It does not change the position of the seat. Does anyone have an idea of where the problem is?

Thanks so much for this information. I appreciate your help.

Recently I had the local Lincoln dealer cut a new ignition key for my 99 Continental. It would not work in any way. They said the computer had to be reprogrammed to use the key. It will take about an hour and $35.00. The Lincoln Shop Manuel says only a dealer can do this. Is this fact or...

Rearview Mirror It is a 1997.

New Mirror Thanks so much for replying. I just checked with Ford.com and they have what appears to be two different mirrors, the "day and night" version for 38.15, the "w/o courtesy lamp" for 459.69. What is the difference? My assumption is the "day and night" version is mechanical and I...

What causes the rear view mirror liquid to disappear from part of the mirror when there is no leakage around the mirror glass? Is this an age thing? Is there a way to keep this from happening? I purchased the car with this problem in the mirror so I replaced the mirror with one from the...
