After having owned or driven dozens of ford, Lincolns, and mercs in the car service and livery business. Here's some difference 1998-2002. Lincolns, All plastic intake manifold Throttle body cable linkage Coil plugs prone fail Chassis/frame from 90s lincoln Steering with old steering box. Frobt Control arms more solid (more metal, and could replace bushing instead of the control arm) Front suspension shock and spring s And front suspension same setup like 1980s lincoln. Different transmission Driveshaft steel. 2003 onwards New redesigned chassis New suspension Front uses struts, And rear (fords and mercs) shock absorber more outward along the rearend Lousier imo, less metal and thin lower control arm. Look like thin wishbone, Rack and pinion steering New transmission (or update/upgraded version) Electronic throttle body control Hvac ac accumulator closer to radiator Plastic intake manifold with metal sleeve and brace to preventb crack Engine cooling fan and control module integrated in one assembly. Aluminum driveshaft 17 inch wheels option available

I came here to see how to remove the battery in my 06 lincoln.. There's no obvious nut to loosen up. No wood screws in sight!. The battery dates from 2006. Orig battery. Won't hold a charge, car runs fine when started. If it was the alternator, the battery would drain from running lights, heater, wipers, etc.

Sweet car. Looks like the glovebox is apart to replace the cabin air filter or maybe the resistor for the fan, i know my 93 Q45 fan was stuck either in off or max, so i had to swap it. Those really are nice cars, hopefully it has little rust.

Very informative video. Thanks

I have the same 5 sets of 5 beeps. Been dealing w it for 3 years lol

How did you take out the moisture?

Are there child seat latches to install the seat in the center? I see a top latch for the center seat.

Got me a black 2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid Energi (PHEV) yesterday, going to sell the Crown Vic this week or next. Bittersweet. Honestly, I'll miss the Vic but less than one third on the fuel bill, the amount of sound deadening and ride quality being quite decent on the Fusion, I don't have any regrets.

I have a 2004 lincoln town car Signature sedan when I press my trunk release switch bottom on driver door it want release my trunk need help

BMW 7 series had it since early 2000s. They always failed, leaked. Which is normal for a BMW

It's previous owner goo not factory. And the drain hole had a rubber flap cover that's missing. I know the car is gone but your videos live on. Thumbs up on this.

I ordered the white plastic replacement retainers which hold on the gold door strap trim pieces. They’re much thicker than the originals and don’t work. They come in white or black. Any advice on replacing them?

Great vehicle I test drove one they drive like a cloud

4th gen front end (bumper, headlights and hood) with 3rd gen from the A pillars back is the ultimate Town Car. Head rests on modern cars are all super annoying, if you sit with your seatback in a normal upright position (ie not leaned back like a moron), they push your head forward and strain your neck.

Still finding it decent now that you've had it nearly 6 months?

I have a question to ask you since you have a 2008 like I have can you tell me where is the door code located on this car I look every where and could not find it your response will be most grateful

I was just looking at this car. I'm a honda guy & Chevy too. But mazda's for some reason catch my eye & I wanna buy one soon. They are sexy cars.

I just bought this exact color and trim package 2013 withh 119k mi.

mines at 182,000 never had any problems with it except electrical issues (from having sat for a year). FL kept & driven so no major rust, just chipped clear on the bumpers and a couple bubbled spots. steal of a car for $1200. lots of random plastic/rubber trim and seals rotted/broken but thats about it. no sunroof though 😅

Secretly, you just don't like the model. Admit it!

Lincoln town car guy I need your help😮 I have a 2003 Lincoln town car Presidential and I have a wild electrical problem, interior door locks and interior lights and beeping going off constantly the truck release no longer works, remotes no longer work I have done all the obvious things to remedy problem and these mechanics at Lincoln have no clue wow. Any advise I would appreciate thank you

Truly appreciate this video, considering to buy one of the two at the moment. I also had noted the 3rd gen steering wheel control has more options than the 4th gen, which I like, similar to the 2007 Navigator I have. I also like the star in the taillights.

You definitely don't know what you're talking about they've all gone over 400,000 miles easily just by the basic maintenance

Nah...got new headlights...cost money but too many roadblocks to install...maybe this is the wrong video

10:49 It is at this moment, memories of the time I accidentally discovered a feature on a car I had for a few years. I walked to the car from the store loaded down with bags, and as I stood behind the trunk, preparing to put the bags down, the car beeped twice, and the trunk opened. Turns out, it was a feature. That being said, I currently have a 99 Town Car, Cartier, everything works, like driving a sofa, and I'm just fine with this.

I had an issue identical to the one in this video "Lincoln Town Car: Crazy Headlight and Turn Signal Issues Solved" on my '07 Town Car, turns out it was a bad connection on the ground pin (thick black wire, middle pin) from the headlight module to the plug. Shined up the tab and the slot with a toothpick, bent the slot in so it was tight again, worked immediately. Not quite the issue you have, but I'd check the wires and the connections, wiring diagram in the video might help narrow down the issue.

Lol you should ask before you film someone else's cars like this gosh. Good video other then that

Same thing happened to me just yesterday the guy put down they fit on a 2004 to 2011 Lincoln Town car even for didn't even know what to think that they couldn't find the right pattern is one that I had on there now it's ironic because your video explains exactly what I went through just recently

I FOUND the transmission stick but spent 45 minutes trying to figure out where to put it back before I remembered to look it up. 😂 Thank you! (I see others had similar problems.)😅

The Grand Marquis gives the driver a level of deference on the road that the Lincoln can't match. A Lincoln is an old man, a Grand Marquis could be a detective, police commissioner, FBI, CIA, or anything in between.

You talk too much

"World is filled with Saudi Princes and African Delegates" 😂😂😂😂

Those two chambers on the air intake duct are basically mufflers. Cold air intake systems make the air intake louder and you can hear the engine sucking in air. Those chambers on the factory one do the opposite of that. They are intended to make the air intake and therefore the engine in general quieter. Hope this helps 2 years later lol

I briefly owned two q45’s when I used to flip cars. The v8 had mad power, way more than my ls400. It just pulled and pulled after 100mph. Hit 150 on a cool summer night and felt like I could go on forever. Only minus point is 300zx front brakes should’ve came on the Q. A bit smokey during an abrupt stops in traffic.

I think 91 to 93 was the pinnacle of Town Cars interior, felt way more luxurious. Things went down hill with every next generation, the last one was meant to be a taxi. Between these two I prefer the exterior of 03-11 as it’s more boxy in the front. I feel like the wheels on the 98 seem to small, the pointy front also don’t go well with the rest of the car.

Thanks !

LS400 is not the ultimate Cadillac. It was built with Mercedes in mind and it shows. It was overbuilt and Toyota spent a ton of money on development to compete. Cadillac looked like dinosaurs at that time with an ancient platform.

My Dad owned a 2001 Sable LS Premium looked exactly like this car but ours was in excellent condition and only difference I can spot is ours had the older crescent third brake light in the back windows same as the Tauruses from 96. Ours had the floor shifter and the High Output 24V engine, with Chrome SHO styled wheels Was a fast, sleek car, upgraded it to a 2010 Fusion Sport also in. Silver and that car is mine now still perfect also a rare to see breed of car being a first gen Fusion Sport.

Ford got cheap, plastic intake . It's a lot of little details I want you to think The average age of this purchaser was 61 years old and today's dollars it's about 78 Grand for the third generation and 4th generation Lincoln Town Car. They lost a contract with Cartier. That's Mickey mouse. That means four didn't want to pay. And did they pass the saving time to the consumer? No, they didn't. Henry Ford be rolling in his grave. Other than that though, I just bought this car a couple years ago. It's been nothing but a dream

I personally like the body style of the 03 Camry

I'm glad you made this video. I will have to install new wiper blades on my step son's 2015 Fusion. Just by looking at them, I would have no idea how to change them. Also, on the paint chip. You would think if it was from a rock it would have chipped the glass as well. Only the paint chipped. If your Fusion is anything like the 2015. There is a huge plastic cover that covers the entire bottom of the engine and transmission you have to remove with like 11 screws before you can change the oil or transmission fluid.

This is what you have to deal with when buying aftermarket wiper blades. :) I keep my OEM Toyota/Lexus blades and just replace the rubber inserts.

It seems like your door hinge pins are worn on the drivers door. If you open the door 1/3 of the way pull up on the back bottom edge of the door. If there is play up/down then the hinge pins are worn. If it's very solid the door can be adjusted by the bolts on the hinges to correct that issue. I would recommend a body shop give you an estimate.

Wait till you need to replace your Head Lights!! You have to take off your bumper!!!!!

I got a code 2416 it tells me it's recuilater blend door failure underneath the glove box

Why it have Russian "notification" sticker? 😂😂😂

I bought a 2022 Camry SE and like it a lot. Comfortable, good power to accelerate, good looking, spacious interior, easy to drive, no problems, not a complicated car, good value for the price. You can’t go wrong choosing the Camry in any trim.

It is a good car and just got a 2020 SE with 36k original miles. Mine is the rare SE with tech package and has Blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, sunroof, and is keyless (push-button start). So almost an XSE, missing little features. 3 owners however, no accidents. The condition was extremely good and car came with "weathertech style" floor mats and rain guard.. could tell someone took care of it. However, one big issue with the car I wish I knew before I bought it is the very uncomfortable seats. I am very skinny, 162 pounds and 6' 6" tall. My mom is 5' 8" and is 170 pounds. We both find this the most uncomfortable car we have ever owned. Not sure if this is due to the SE trim, it is being sporty seats, but no matter how we adjust the seats we just cannot get comfortable. I wish I knew this before we bought it, unfortunately a 10 minute test drive is not enough. Buyer beware. If considering this car, most of you would probably be better off with a Lexus. Which I would like to trade this car in, or for an electric car, at some point. May deal with it, if I put a gel memory foam cushion. It's not me being negative, I'm overall happy with the car. However, the truth has to be said. Buyer beware!!

I'm going to get a camry this year. Haven't decided if I'll shoot for the brand new ones that are hybrid or get a couple year old one. Toyotas hold their value so well almost just better to get new at this point.

Camrys are popular with people like myself who don't want to deal with mechanics. I'm on my second one, and like the first one it's totally reliable and requires the basic maintenance like any other car. My next car will be a 2012 Avalon. I could buy a newer one. but I like the exterior of the 2012 compared to the stupid grill opening of the 2013s and up.
