anybody know if there is a quick/easy fix for this since it is such a small hole? It is my daily driver currently, is there anything I can do atm without replacing the whole tank?
AC was working fine just a few days ago, now the control module isn’t responding to any button presses. The screen was on until I pulled the fuses (15 and 27, according to manual instructions) to check them, and now it’s totally dark. Anyone know what the issue might be?
Funny noise which I suspect is a pump or a bearing of some kind. Can anyone identify?
Bags were replaced by the previous owner 2 years ago, and I replaced the compressor. It's currently in a parking lot 20 minutes from me, and I don't think I can drive it home. I might've burst the line when I hit a curb at a round a bout 2 days ago. Could I fix this in the parking lot, or should I get it towed?
Had a misfire and took it in. Long story short they replaced all the ignition coils. Car runs like shit. Barely can get out of first as there is no power. Also, the air now blows warm. Any suggestions? These knuckleheads have the car now.
So I just inherited a 2006 lincoln town car from my grandmother it on came with one key and it's broken I plan on getting 2 oem lincoln keys and fobs how can I program the key to work with the car because I see alot of people say that I need a grey valet key and it didn't come with one
I inspected the leveler when I replaced my bags for the air suspension a few days ago. The arm was stiff and notchy, not very inspiring.
So I decided to replace it. Simple job. Two 13mm bolts and one electrical connector. You can find the part on Amazon for about $33.
When I have the A/C on full blast barely any air comes out of the vents, a buddy of mine and I recently found out that a little bit of air is coming through the floor vents so we thought it might be one of the actuators, however I don’t really think enough air is coming out to where if I fixed it, it would come through the vents as much as it should be, kind of reluctant to tear the whole dash apart if that would be the case, any other ideas of what it could be? And yes the blower motor has been replaced.

I've done all the front suspension besides the lower control arms. I've read on forums of some people using spring compressors and some not having to? If any of you have done it I'd love the advice because they are becoming very noisy and the vibration has been getting a bit worse as the weeks go on.
From what I've read the spring compressor supposedly doesn't fit in it? I just don't want it to launch at me when I slowly drop the CA🤣
Thanks!
I am looking for another car and I like the panthers bodies because I have long legs and I love the leg room. I am no mechanic but I want to ask what things I need to look out for on these cars. Thanks .
So a few days ago I made a post asking how I could fix these faded spots on the plastic wood trim and the response was to polish it. I tried to do it and it ended up not doing anything and took some paint off.
Hey! I'm looking at a 2008 Lincoln Town Car with 82k miles. It looks to be in really good shape and an older couple who did the maintenance on it. I heard that the passenger side can leak onto the floor board. Exterior and interior look great, but I did notice floor mats and some of the carpet looked worn. Do you know if this is just dirt and wear overtime on a light interior, or could it be from a water leak? Also anything else I should be looking for in person when I check it out? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
ps. Do you think the steering wheel and armrest can just be cleaned or is it too far gone?
I’m finally caught up on my suspension restoration. About a month ago a shop handed me a $1300 estimate for new front stabilizer links, air bags and rear shocks. They also wanted to convert the air bags to coils.
I don’t think so. I took my time doing one job per weekend. Total cost of parts was under $200. Huge difference in the ride. Way more stable and grounded.
Slight squeak when rpm’s come down but not sure all pulleys are aligned ,new tensioner and belt and only that small noise anyone know what it could be ?
As the title says and as many people have probably had the same issue, why does my town car sometimes not start, I attached a video for an example.
We swapped the relays for starter and AC and still had the issue, checked the fuel pressure when it happens and it's not a fuel issue, get about 37psi when the key is turned. I don't believe it's a temperature outside issue since it's a 20 degree day and it still had an issue and 30 degree days it doesn't. It seems to do it after the first drive after rain or a car wash which I feel like is more of a coincidence since others have had this same issue without water. Since it seems to be common does anyone else know any solutions before I take a huge bill from Ford
Looking for guidance in selecting new plugs for my 2003 Signature series w/ 80k miles.
I'm in the middle of doing the intake manifold and thought it might be a good moment to swap the set with some fresh ones.
I saw Autolite AP104's as an option. Then I saw APP104's (double platinum) for a couple bucks more each. Is there any reason to choose one over another?
Let me know what you all think
2003 Lincoln Town car won't start due to some type of electrical issue. My mechanic has had the car for over a year and hasn't fixed it yet. I need to find someone else that can get it running again. I'm in North New Jersey. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks
For the past several months my 2006 Lincoln Town Car has had issues starting when the engine is hot but starts with out issue when the engine is cold. It takes longer and longer to start the warmer the engine gets until it won't start. Then I have to let it cool down before I can restart it. The car drives without issue. I've had multiple mechanics look at it and have replaced several parts but nothing has changed. One mechanic reported a fuel pressure issue at a specific power level and thought it was the fuel pump but I changed that and nothing changed. Also about a month before the issue started, I replaced the valve covers because the originals cracked when I removed them to replace the gasket. When I replaced the valve covers I used the 2007 version instead of the 2006 version as I couldn't find the 2006 version. The only deference I can tell between the 2006 version and the 2007 version is the shape and placement of the PCV housing. I am not sure if that is causing the issue. I checked for leaky fuel injectors but I couldn't find any sign of that. Nor have I found any vacuum leaks and all the grounds are clean and good. And all the fuses appear to be good. Any ideas what might be causing the issue?
Parts replaced before issue:
Intake Manifold
Valve Covers (I used 2007 covers instead of 2006 as I couldn't find 2006 at the time)
Spark Plugs
Ignition Coils
Fuel Injectors
Radiator Fan
Thermostat
Parts replaced since issue started:
ECM
Fuel Pump
Purge Valve
Battery
Battery Cables
Starter
Thermostat (The previous thermostat failed after 5 months)
Crank Position Sensor (Edit 2: I forgot I replaced it as well, I knew I was forgetting something)
Also if anyone knows of any mechanics who are experts on the Lincoln Town Car or Ford Panther platform in general, in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah Valley, Utah area. Let me know?
Edit 1: The starter makes rapid clicking while it tries to start.
Edit 2: I am going check the Fuel Pump Driver Module.
Got my 1999 Executive with 23k miles! Love the ride. I just need to fix a couple of things
