Lincoln Continental

ABOVE THE GLOVE BOX ON THE RIGHT

I answered my own question. I started unscrewing things to get the CD changer out of the console. Once it was free I took the outside case off of the CD changer so I could see the guts. I manually moved things around when I noticed there was a penny in the bottom of the changer. I removed the penny, pressed the re;ease button and the magazine popped up. Now, I could still hear my motor working but the CD's not being released. If you don't hear your motor in the CD changer running when you press the release button you may have a different problem. From what I understand, change getting caught in the CD changer is a very common problem. I needed a screwdriver shaped liked a star to remove a lot of the screws. Again it may be different on a Windstar. Good Luck. I hope this hepled.

in the trunk to the left of the spare

turn belt tensioner clockwise to loosen there is a special tool you can get as loaner tool

i need to replace a throttle sensor and put a throttle body rebuild kit in

Have the same problem with mine. Lent the car to a friend and he did not relize the trunk was power assisted and kept slamming it down breaking the latch and sensor. Now the trunk will not close.. Am ordering a manual converson kit today from Strutmasters who I also ordered replacement struts.. Good luck

the module should be located either in the panel of the trunk (on left or right side behind a panel along with the computer)..HIGHLY likely..or it is behind the glove box..i will ask my father and get back to you with the EXACT answer..he's a mechanic and owns a 86 mark vii lsc.. It is located behind the spare tire in the trunk. You may have to remove the interior panel behind the tire to gain access.

near the alternator up front of the engine it really always help to look at the new part before you install helps to locate it. from the driver's side at the bottom of the radiator the hose runs across to the passenger side of the car. it turns up into a housing with a secondary smaller hose coming out the side of the housing. if you remove the 2 bolts holding this housing together you will find the thermostat inside with an O ring seal that has to be replaced in the right position when you reinstall the new thermostat.

at the end of the sunroof there is a small rectangular cover, take it down and you will find the bolt to close it manually, just use the proper wrench

No one knows, its written on the transmission dip stick I read somewhere that 98 and newer had V which is synthetic but Pre have ATF because mercon does not exist, but it needs Mercon M what ever that correlates too which is nothing, so the answer is a crap shoot, V probably works fine, but the transmission sucks so i wonder if thats why they started using synthetic you can tell by smell I used V and it Smells awful like dead fish, what ever is inside did not smell like V. SO i do not recomend V anyway good luck if you find out let me know because no one knows.

is your car rear end low to the ground and does it air up and then go back down or doesnt air up at all?

my 98 continental has a belt diagram showing the way to put the belt on.

you will want to remove the radiator resivior to gain access to the belt. after following the diagram, get the belt lined up, and on all the ribbed polleys. the one smooth pulley is the idler pulley, saving that for last makes this job alot easier.

hope this helps

that ones kind of hard to explain over the internet, so please go to the local auto store and ask for the specs. for what you need, they should be able to bring them up on the computer for you.

directly into the whole where you pulled the dipstick out of.

Common problem with these cars--Spray the internal latches liberally with WD-40 or similar product operate door several times and then spray with a silicone type spray--should solve your problem

if your not sure where the battery is please take it to the local auto store and ask them if they can show you, they'll be happy to.

On a Lincoln LS , the battery is in the trunk beside the spare tire

here in the Houston Texas area , i got 3 quotes on mine. 2 grand was the average. so i had mine converted over to coil springs for 500 bucks. worth it cuz the bags were always leaking area and sitting sideways or down all the way and the noise from the compressor was very annoying kicking on all the time.

The dash and fire wall need to be taken out.

Exhaust manifold or on catalytic conerter.

If the car has not since died from dead battery, it is most likely the voltage regulator. The first time this happened to me it was the battery just before it quit. On many cars the alternator may also be the culprit. In most cases you should replace both at the same time. Also check your belts for wear while you're at it.

there is no air bleeder valve on radiators, just a twist knob and it should be located on the bottom in one of the corners.
