I've looked at the fuse diagram and the power windows are connected with the moonroof/radio,both of which are working fine, so I've ruled out a bad fuse problem.
The memory seats are a little quirky but still work and the pedal adjuster motor is not working very well (moves pedal just a couple of millimeters). I can't hear the parking sensors either. Otherwise the rest of the electricals seem to be working fine and dandy.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any solutions?
Flash forward a week ago went to start and nothing but clicking. Replaced Battery.
Checked alternator output 14.1 v.
2 days ago driving interstate and air, trac, abs light come on one at a time, cluster goes dark and engine quits. Stop car, starts up like no problem and gets home.
Today's start was almost normal but before I could release the starter the cluster went dark. There it sits. I'm not sure where to start.
One other event a month ago in a heavy rain the wipers would barely move, they were in super slow mo, but set on fast.
Can you tell me what is required to remove the dash board upper cover on a 95 Towncar?
Thanks

The battery light would come on for a few minutes and then go off for a few minutes. It keeps coming back on and off everytime I use the car. It doesn't matter if the car is moving or standing still.
I replaced the belt. I cleaned the terminals. I cleaned and reconnected the short ground strap from the battery to the fender. Nothing had an effect.
The alternator is putting out about 14 volts everytime I check it.
Every place I took it to said I need to replace the alternator because the light goes off and on. ---B.S.
This has been happening for 6 years and I finally had to replace the battery last week, at 89,000 miles (40,000 miles later)
The light still goes off and on. The new battery stays charged.
Can anyone tell how to fix this?
I'm thinking I have a disconnect in the harness...
Any suggestions ?
Its a start.

Connect the battery the next day and try the original manufactures code followed by a 2nd Personal Code.
Good Luck.
I would appreciate the name and any other info. on the part you had replaced. Thank you very much, Sir!
Thanks for your suggestion which I have tried without success.
Seems to me that the original DDM was coded with the keypad code. Since I have replaced it with a new unit, the original code cannot be recovered since it resides in the old unit sitting on my garage shelf.
Does that make sense ?
I'm losing power when I hit the gas hard - lose all electrical interior and exterior but still can drive - lay off gas and power pops back on after afew minutes.
I believe I overheated the motor recently and got a 'check engine' - then the following week i noticed this problem.
think it could be from the DDM or another component?
Luckily for me the seller is knocking off $1000 from the selling price.
Wish me luck
I'm wondering if this will be a solution to my problem.
I recently just bought a 99 lincoln used
and when I Got home I noticed at night the interior lights were on.
I went and used the key remote to hit the lock button to turn it off,
it turned off, but came back on and then went off and back on again.
I gave up and took the fuse out after testing about 20 of them to see which one it was.
IF I leave the headlights on the timer they will also go on and off with the interior lights. Anyone have this exact problem?
Also I noticed that the lights on the keypad on the drivers door also is consistent with going off and on with the headlights and the interior lights.
Anyone have this exact problem and have the fix?
I am having the same problem with my 2003 T/C. You had said you located a brand new DDM on the internet for $200? Could you direct me to this website please? I'm not having very much luck. thank you! Riggo
I would be happy to send the info but I no longer have it. I did a google search and found several units available. They were mainly $300 to $4oo but I negotiated the price downward.
Good Luck !

I had a similar problem (on my LTC Limo 6pax) and it turned out to be the second battery installed under the right front bumper which supports were lose and caused the short when contact was made. Shortly after I fixed that I burnt out my alternator (had it replaced). Now the car is running fine. Maybe got lucky as I thought it was a transmission problem or a more serious electrical problem.
