How do you test a ride height sensor for a 1995 Lincoln Continental?

To test the ride height sensor on a 1995 Lincoln Continental, first, locate the sensor, which is typically mounted near the rear suspension. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the sensor terminals while adjusting the vehicle's height manually. Compare the readings to the specifications in the service manual; they should change in a predictable manner as the height varies. If the readings are out of spec or inconsistent, the sensor may need to be replaced.


How do you know when to replace the alternator when not running?

The alternator must be running to test without disassembly. If you remove it, many auto part stores will test at no charge. One test is a voltage test. Start the engine and use a multimeter to check the voltage at the battery. It should read between 13.5 and 16 volts. Any less or more and the alternator is bad.
