Assuming you are getting the "Check DCL" indicator, your instrument cluster is starting to go bad. DCL = Data Communications Link. It's a data line, not a part. This is a known and frequent problem with these cars as the instrument cluster gets some age on it.
The clusters are obsolete. Ford no longer makes them and no new ones exist (believe me, I looked everywhere.) You'll need to contact these folks to obtain a rebuilt cluster:

This question was asked specifically in reference to a 1994 Lincoln Continental, which has 2 of them. One is under the hood where you would expect to find it. The other is in the trunk, and only this model vehicle has. The link in the trunk may possibly be solely for accessing the air ride suspension system computer, or possibly for a few other system computers.
