The weirdest thing is happening with my wipers today.. Even in the off mode the wipers randomly swipe across the windshield. And now only high mode works correctly. The rainsensor has been broken and unplugged for years so I know that's not causing an issue... Anyone know what to replace...

For those who replaced their secondary chains and tensioners with "christophers master link chain kit", how the **** did you all get the tensioners off? It looks like I could remove one of the cams but I don't really want to disturb the journals if I can avoid it. I searched and someone...

On the plus side, I replaced the fuel pump as preventative maintenance and that went very well. On the minus side, I saw some other things going on while I was under the carpet. :eek:

So while doing some preventative maintenance I thought I'd post on here for some suggestions and I'm glad that I did. I did not know that timing chain tensioners were an issue for the 3.9, and more so the 2000 and early 2001 LS's. Through my research I have found that the production date...

I've owned my LS for the last 8 years and I do all of the maintenance/repairs myself. I absolutely love this car when it runs. So smooth and quiet and nice handling! My parents have suggested a newer and more reliable car while I'm in dental school (like a Kia or Honda) but I just don't want...

What's the deal with the Lincoln LS wheel bearings? I replaced a front wheel bearing hub just two months ago and all was well and quiet again. Then last week I started hearing some noise which sounded odd. I jacked up the car today to do a visual inspection and the back wheel is extremely...

I've been doing some searching on LVC and have learned a lot about LS balljoint issues.. So I'm replacing a bad front wheel hub today and I discovered my lower balljoint is shot (rocking tire with hands at 12 and 6 o'clock position on the tire and play at the following joint- see picture). It...

Not the smartest thing that I've done to my car but... yeah, I found this four year old gem and thought I'd share. Serious LS RAW Power hahaha :D http://youtu.be/Beeq5hbInaw _

No wonder the amplifier overheated... The screws on the mosfets were not recessed and therefore the heatsink was not making contact with the row of mosfets. A quick check with the ohm meter confirmed that the row of mosfets are dead... :( Alpine MRV-F345... my last Alpine amplifer..

My beloved 2000 Lincoln LS with ~170k miles has developed some nasty noise(s). I had a strikingly similar (but slightly different and louder) noise a few years back and a junk yard carrier with 115k miles did the trick! :) Under light acceleration and under heavy deceleration (downshifting)...

I have a click and a hum that's most prominent when I downshift and let it the engine slow the car down as well as a slightly noticeable humming at interstate speeds... I'm not certain if it is the rearend or a CV but I'm leaning toward replacing the rearend. The symptoms are almost identical...

Anyone done this before? I was going to sell my LS but I've decided to keep it :D Thinking about painting the chrome all black and putting better projectors in them. I'm not digging the rectangular foglights

Just got back from test driving a one owner low mileage 06' LS. I've owned my 2000 LS for many years and it has had some issues like most first generation LS's with high mileage (mine has 160k miles, most with intake,exhaust,tune and a heavy foot). I was looking at upgrading to a gen2 to get...

I am a proud owner of a 2000 LS that has served as a nice vehicle so far. I'm looking at upgrading to a gen2 LS (possibly 2006) and I would like some feedback on reliability issues associated with the Gen2's. Some of the more prominent issues I've addressed with my gen1 with 160k miles...

Has anyone attempted a quad projector setup in the LS? My current plan is to retro four TL projectors (all bi-xenon) into the first generation LS headlights. Pictures of this setup soon to follow! :D On a side note, my current setup since 2006 has been E46 bi-xenons (headlights) and...

Just a quick and dirty how-to for those thinking about replacing the coolant degas tank. My tank was leaking and had numerous cracks throughout, and it had to be replaced. Steps: 1. Remove wipers 2. Remove plastic cowl under wipers 3. Remove the two bolts on the brace that connects to...

I have ordered a new rear-end (with 3.58 gears) for the LS and plan on putting a LSD in while I've got everything off the car. I've read nearly every post about differentials and gear swaps on this forum and it has really helped with clearing up information about the 8.0 rear-end. I'll...

I'm tired of cold, warm, cold, and warm butts.. Has anyone figured out an easy way to keep the heated seats from turning off in the first gen LS? Is it possible that a computer flash can update them to keep them on unless the user turns them off? If not, I may design a 555 timer circuit to...

Has anyone replaced the 00-02 3rd brake light with the 03 and up LED third brake light that sits high up by the headliner? I am going to attempt this mod.

This noise started a month ago and has progressively gotten louder. It is loudest around 20-30mph but it is nearly silent around 70-75mph. It is noticeably louder when i put a load on it or if I downshift and let the engine slow the car down. "Leaning" into sharp turns or going over bumps...
