Overheating Lincoln Town Car

In this video I have a look at a 2005 Lincoln Town Car that was dropped off with a complaint of overheating. The lady told me it started running hot when she was pulling a long hill. After letting the car sit for a while she was able to drive it to my shop. Sounds like a fan issue to me. Let's find out. -Enjoy!

[@danielmcgilliss697]

One of tricks we did at the phone company on taping up wires is to start with the sticky side out and on the second pass we would flip to sticky side down. The the tape would two things, hold together tighter and if you had to remove it just cut it would peal off leaving no sticky black adhesive. Great video and fast troubleshooting.

500k+ on this Ex L of mine. Used for limo service and Uber since 2007. Still runs and looks good but, that wiring issue is chronic with Town Cars. The fan plug burns and causes the failure.

The last of the simple to fix, reliable, American V8 sedans. I have one, I restored it as a hobby, and I love it. Parts are everywhere and cheap (the driver's door control module is a pain in the a$$, though). It's a joy to cruise the interstates with. Need a fuel pump/alternator/water pump....$100. Brake pads and rotors.....$250. The AC system is accessible under the hood....no tearing the dash out!!! The 4.6L 2 valve is stupid reliable, simple and cheap. Look at the access space in front of the engine. The fan connector didn't require removing the heads and dropping the fuel tank to gain access. My highest recommendation for car guys.

Love the fluid film shot on the crimp end of the connector. A more than perfect repair for a retail repair shop. I'm rather paranoid with any and all electrical connections. I keep my vehicles for life (their's or mine) and since I do the work, I can afford the time and effort to go overboard. No crimping... Every connector gets soldered. A dab of liquid insulation goes over the stripped wire boundary followed up by two sections of heat shrink tubing. The heat shrink provides the necessary insulation and stress relief.

About the grease on the connectors...was reading the manuf. data sheets recently and noticed the recommendation to avoid using it on low tension connections such as the ones added to the Lincoln - they say only on larger clamped connections such as lugs to a panel, etc. For the push connectors, they suggest to just use it inside the plastic shrouds/connector shellto help seal it, and leave the metal bits clean.

Eric, could you do a video on the costs involved to own and run a shop?

[@elaineholthaus2298]

She's so lucky! She'll be able to watch your cool repair job with this video. My dream!

The low coolant could be caused by the well-known intake manifold failure. I don't know how prevalent they are on 05's, but I had it fail on my 03 Crown Vic last year. One intake manifold replacement later (and a radiator flush for for reaching 130k miles), and no problems. Of course the blend door for the A/C is in need of replacement now.... ugh Good job sir! I see that repair lasting a very long time.

Wide tape is great for wiring harnesses.

Nothing wrong with the fix. Haters will hate, trolls will troll. Keep it up my friend.

Awesome fix, those town cars are absolute units

I'm guessing that you get negative comments about some of the non-standard, command decisions that you make. However, my humble opinion on that is, that's exactly why customers come to you, and keep coming back for life. They aren't just paying for your wrenching ability. They want, and need, your experience and common sense. Bravo, and thanks for another great video!

LMAO I believe you did those Sick burnouts, Eric O.
