2001 TC Exec. Last winter car would not hold idle. That problem vanished this Spring.
Now The car thinks that the door is ajar and the interior light will not go off(I have to pull the fuse). I had the latch replace under the advice of my garage, but no dice. Now they want me to let them replace the lighting module. They say it is going to cost about a grand and I am a little worried that it is still going to be something else.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I do not have any wipers any more?
Suggest you seek an automotive electrical shop that specializes in diagnosing problems like yours. You need a specialist, not a general practioner.
I would not be surprised to learn the center of your problem has to do with your wipers not working and interior lights being on. There are fuses under the dash and circut breakers under the hood that could be involved, but only the specialist who knows by training and experience will solve the problem. Good Luck to you.
engine coolant and air intake sensors. still does it but a little less frequent.

Thank you!
Thanks
Got in the manual and read how to see if alarm is functioning properly (by watching the actions of the red flashing light on dash) and it is blinking when its supposed to and staying solid when it's supposed to. That's all i know to check on it?
Your help would be very appreciated

Basically a device that doesnt use my power drained the battery, but it took 4 days to recharge it, which doesn't seem right. Does the TC use a lot of power while turned off? I know the 95 GM can drain the battery when off because the auto suspension is constantly on, but does the '07 suspension also stay on all the time? I had a 92 crown vic with the air system and that only came on with the key on.
Recommend you use a Fast 10 Amp charger on the TC so as to beat the constant rate of discharge caused by various electrical powered accessories.
The automatic leveling compressor on our TC doesn't need the ignition "ON" to work. Sometimes it just self starts for no obvious reason.
Because we don't drive the TC frequently, I charge the battery with a 10 Amp fast charge every two weeks.
My 66 Mustang goes a month between chargings due to no draining of the battery.
Desulfation could take up to 10 hours.
There was a zzzzz sound. Now, the radio doesn't power up, the clock doesn't come on and the windows wont roll up. All the fuses have been checked. A mechanic checked under the hood and said the light for the power window relay switch did not light up. We replaced the relay switch, but nothing happened.
Any ideas? Is there anything we can do temporarily to get the windows to roll up?
3 Ford techs don't have a clue & you want to fix it yourself?
Something besides the ignition switch is " loosey- goosey" so take it to an independent shop for a fix.
If you do have the RFID keys, fixing that will be difficult on your own without the diagnostic equipment, and disabling it will be near impossible without rewiring the car.
In either case, replace the ignition cylinder, and you could very well fix the whole problem.
Also what is a traction master cylinder vs a standard cylinder that these cars came with?
thank you
RV :
Another puzzlement, the acc on is timed, so it should turn off after so many minutes, and there is also a battery saver feature that prevents running down the battery. At least there is one in my F350, so I would assume Lincoln would have it too. Of course if the battery is weak, or never got a full 100% good charge, that feature is moot.
I have a Camry Hybrid, if you have the ACC on and the radio going, after about an hour, it will shut off. The system in the Lincoln should do that as well with the key out.
Check the door switch circuits, it sounds like that is where the problem lies.
Hopefully somebody out there can tell me why this fitting is there and being that it is leaking out of the vent hole something must be wrong on the inside of it?
Please help.
Thank you

Here is a cutaway Check with Napa, they may stock this, if not, then the dealer will have them.
Thank you very much my friend you have been a great help.

My solution was to place a plastic bag of ice on that little black box and within 30 seconds, it started. The beer wasn't as cold that day, but the engine started.
