Where is the oil sending unit location 1998 Lincoln Continental?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think the proper question is why does the oil pressure gauge pulse up and down in most Lincolns? My mothers' car does this, make incessant dinging sounds, and it is quite annoying. My Ford has a mechanical gauge, and does not do this. I have read by many accounts it is probably not the pressure sender, the oil pump, or a "loose bulb" in the dash. Maybe it is frayed wiring or something else. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank You.

What does a 1997 Lincoln Continental oxygen sensor do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am not a profetionel on mechanic, but in my knowledge the oxygen sensor control the ratio air/gas , I have a 97 Lincoln continental too and its required to change the two oxygen sensors after 100,000 miles , failure of an oxygensensor may cause your car consuming more gaz .

to change it, the o2 sensor is located down close to the oil filter , I suggest you go to autozone or something like that and you can buy your car manufactur car maintenance book,there is everyhing explained and you can save a lot of money making some easy maintenance and repairs to you car.

the cost of an o2 sensor is from $35 and up , check eBay there are good deals overthere .

Where can you find the low side AC valve on a 1997 Lincoln Continental?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The TOP line on the Condenser is the HIGH side-& the lines/hoses are smaller.Just start @ the compressor opposite the high side & U will find the LOW port.ITS usally close 2 the receiver/drier.

I just charged my AC last night. I found the low side port under the hood, right up by the windshield on the pasenger side, about 2.5 feet in from the side of the car. If you use a flashlight you can see the port go down about 5 inches to where it turns into whatever it goes to. It had a black cap. The recharging kit will only fit on the low side port. The high side port is next to the radiator, but I think you would only need to know this if you need to drain the system. The refridgerant is R134a, the same kind you can pick up at wallmart. You do not need to worry about it being R12.

This answer helped me find mine on my 1996. It had a blue cap right against the firewall on passenger side about 2ft from side of car.

What would cause of the interior lights of a 1999 Lincoln continental to go on and off with it just setting in the driveway?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have had the same problem with a 95 Continental. After taking it to a dealer for repair he told me how to fix the problem myself.

First, check all doors. If a door is not completely closed the interior light will come on.

Second, spray WD40 into each of the doors where the door locking pin engages the opening in the door. Spray all around the door openings on all door and open and close the door 4 or 5 times each.

The problem is that moisture gets inside of the door (poor design) and corrodes the electrical contacts... so the electrical system "thinks" the door is still open and turns on the interior lights. If the problem is really bad the interior lights will come while driving when you stop at a traffic light with the engine in idle and go off when you start moving again.

I found that spraying WD40 each fall before the winter snow and rain prevented the problem from occurring. GOOD LUCK!

How do you replace air shocks on 1999 Lincoln Continental?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your best bet is to replace the air shocks with a spring adapter kit. The kit retails for about $400 and is fairly easy to install.My mechanic charged me for 1.5 hrs labor but after seeing what was involved i think i could have done it myself.The Ford dealers were'nt interested in doing the kit and wanted $1500 to $2000 to replace the air bags.The ride seems a bit harsher but

my 98 is still a fine ride.

Directions to installing serpentine belt onto 1999 Lincoln Continental?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This answer will assume you have the diagram and undersand normal belt replacement procedures. A idler pulley tool (a long slim bar with 1/2" or 3/4" socket head is highly recommended.

1. crank your wheels all the way to the right (passenger side). You will need to access the inner fender later.

2. Make sure your new belt is the proper length. Should be 75" or so.

3. unbolt the power steering reservoir from the coolant recovery tank.

4. unbolt the coolant recovery tank.

5. Remove upper fill plug on the solid coolant line that runs near the alternator.

6. Remove the radiator hose from the coolant line.

7. Remove the radiator hose from the bottom of the coolant recovery tank.

8. Remove the electrical connection/fill sensor from the bottom of the recovery tank.

9. Remove the coolant recovery tank.

10. review the routing diagram should should be found underneath the 'plastic shroud' that sits on top of the radiator in the engine compartment.

11. remove the inner fender enough so that you can access the pulley's from the side and underneath. There are 'plastic clips' that hold it in.

12. using the idler pulley tool remove the tension on the belt.

13. Remove the belt. It is easier to get the belt off (believe it or not) by routing it underneath the car. If it hangs up do not pull or you may break off something important. If you are getting frustrated simply cut the belt.

14. Install the new belt. This is very challenging and improved suggestions are welcome......

14-1. Focus on getting the 'left' side of the belt wrapped around the idler pulley, top end going underneath the water pump pulley and bottom end on top of the crank pulley. There is very little room here....very very little....

14-2. You will need to switch from top to bottom and add or remove tension on the idler pulley as needed. The belt slips on the idler pulley from the 'engine' side, not from the front of the pulley which is blocked by it's bracket.

14-3. Consider removing the water pump pulley if it is not pressed on. In the end it will save you time....

14-4. Be very patient. To route the belt around the idler pulley you must make a 'cramped U' out of the belt and go in from the bottom (or top). Tie a 'strong string' to the middle of the 'U' if you need help pulling it thru tight spots. Be forewarned. This is very difficult and nearly impossible to do by yourself. Having a helper manipulate the position of the idler saves time.

14-4. If you skipped step 14-3 consider going back to it....

14-5. If you can do this job with the vehicle on a hoist. You will still need to access the top...

This was by far one of the more frustrating things I've ever done on a car which includes installing engines/transmissions, replacing cylinder heads, etc.. The amount of work required to do something so simply is the frustrating part. Wonder what the book provides to do this job.

This was one of the most frustrating jobs I have done, but it is still doable by a shade-tree. I did not have to remove the coolant reseviour as there was just enough give to pull it forward and out of the way, but be careful if you try this because if you force it too much you'll be going to new hoses. I was also changing the alternator and pulling the reseviour forward gave me the space I needed to drop it down and remove it. I would also suggest removing the alt if you want more room and not pulling off the water pump pulley.

By far the most challenging is 14.1, getting the belt wrapped around the idler pulley As I approached it I could see there is a bolt head that will prevent you from getting the belt in. The tenioner only had to be moved a little to gain enough room so since I used a pipe and wedged the idler pulley tool such that the pulley was about half way de-tentioned. This gave me all the room I needed to get by the bolt head and get the belt on the rest of the way without having to go up and down. As the original post stated be patient. It will take some wiggling to get it in but it can be done. Next feed the belt around the crank pulley then water pump then ac and dummy pulley then the alt. You will also gain a lot more room to access the tensioner if you remove the passenger tire. Its just physical room for your body, but not having to squeeze your arm around a tire will make you more comfortable.

Gear display data error 2000 Lincoln?

Asked by Wiki User

CHECK THE PCM DIODE. Apparently these get loose over time.... I had the same symptoms, car would randomly not start. Drove me crazy for months. Then one day I was pulling the relays in and out and noticed the PCM Diode suddenly made a CLICK when I pushed it down. Apparently it was creeping out of it's socket over the years. All I had to do was push it back in, and voila! problem went away!!

Btw, in my car, Lincoln Continental 1999, the diode is to the left of Relay 7 (PCM Relay). This solved the mysterious "GEAR DISPLAY ERROR", CHECK TRACTION CONTROL, etc., and PATS code 16.
