HELP! My booboos broken?
Ok so.. I love my car to death but as of lately she hasnt been so appreciative. First off.. she misfires like every other lincoln ls it seems and recently shes been failing to start. When turning the key, I wait for everyting to stop beeping before turning on the engine but as soon as it begins the odometer and every other measuring tool on the dash goes all the way to the left like to the max and then back right to 0 right before the alarm begins to sound. Just today, as i put the key to the on position with the engine off, my rear sensors began to sound. Not too sure if its battery related because I had my bumper replaced with new sensors so this new tid bit is a bit baffling.. None the least, while the key is in the on position, when I apply the brake it the abs light illuminates with each breakage saying check advancetrac. The engine oil and battery are also illuminated as well. Im not sure if there is something wrong with maybe how the wiring was done seeing as my car was rear ended while off, pushing it about 15 ft forward into neighbors driveway and resulted in a new frame replacement. Do you think this could have thrown off my wire setup in some way? I know my batterys not dead because in the manual it states trunk will not open with dead battery and everytime she refuses to start for me I can still open the trunk. The battery is mounted down firmly so I know its not back there rocking everywhere.. Ive pretty much grown accustomed to the "dead battery" and have learned to open the door and turn off headlights upon key removal but it still seems to die like someones sitting in there listening to my radio.. I took it to a trusted mechanic and when plugged up read no error codes and was told it started on the dot for them but not me.. I am so confused and have a Ford warranty so not so much stressed just more so irritated seeing as I bought the car and a week later it was involved in a drunk hit and run while a was sleeping. The car hasnt been right since.. If this sounds like an accident cause problem. I also just read in the manual on p 185 that "if the battery is disconnected (or removed), it will be necessary to reset the parking brake; the message center will display APPLY PARK BRAKE.." which it does in the on position but Ive been needing to have my park brake serviced since the accident so im not sure if this applies to me or not because my park brake is "broke." any and all info would be greatly appreciated. PLEASE HELP!!! Sorry about the length.. Ive just had too many problems with my girlfriend lately!!!
Oh yeah its a lincoln ls 2003 V8 sport. And its also gone into etc fail safe mode for the first time in the past month. Funny how every other post on not starting and alarm sounding seems to be an 03.. I think we should all file a claim against Lincoln. I love my car and think the creators should too seeing as theyre making a fortune off their defective model. Ugh i hate it.. I barely hit 85k Monday and have only had it since 73k. I know i need a tune up but have been getting my regular maintenance as advised to do so until then. Thanks again..
