How to remove the dashboard on a 1999 lincoln continental
There are going to be tons of small hex-head screws holding plastic panels on. Take them all out. If you get stuck, tug on the panel and see about where its still holding on. Chances are there is a screw that you didnt see before. Dashboards suck to work on so be prepared to be very frusterated
My sunroof doesn't close
This could be a couple of problems. Check to see that there is nothing in the sunroof track. Believe it or NOT you may even have a worn sunroof motor. Over time it can drag down needing replaced. Need more info...how old is the Vehicle & does the sunroof open real slow in reverse direction. Are you able to close it helping along with your hand and the sunroof motor as well?
Why the cooling fan on my car will not stop running?
The cooling fan has two wires going to it.
One goes to the ground, one to the "hot" wire.
The hot wire is connected to the sensor on the engine block that tells the fan to turn on whenever the engine temperature reaches a certain point.
I am thinking either the engine block sensor or possibly a relay in the electrical box under the hood has failed, and is sending electricity to the fan when it shouldn't.
Replacing the sensor or the relay will solve the problem.
God bless your efforts.
Battery drains over night. Fuses have been tested. Pulled radio fuse but thrre is still a draw.
You need to isolate the draw by installing an ammeter in series with the battery. Remove the negative cable and hook one end of the meter to the cable and the other to the battery and see what amperage is drawn. Start removing fuses one at a time till the draw on the meter drops. This will tell you what fuse it is and what that fuse controls. You then have to find what is causing the draw from what the fuse controls. This can be a tedious task.
How do I check and/or find a brake proportional valve oem replacement part for a 1999 Lincoln Continental
proportional valves are designed to give the right amount of hydraulic pressure to the back brake to prevent them locking up with a resultant loss of control of the vehicle
replacement of calipers would only be need once to fix jammed or leaking pistons but the pads may have to be replaced more often.
if it only the front brakes that is the problem ,I suspect that the fault will be in the compensating ports of the master cylinder that is not releasing the fluid back into the reservoir and the resultant heat build up from the pads still in contact with the discs is building up brake pressure and so keeping the pads on the discs to the point where lock up is evident
failed proportioning valves will result in no brake action to the rear wheels or rear wheel lock up
If parts are not available from the manufacturer spares department, they should be still be available from reputable brake shops as car manufacturers do not make brake parts as such but rely on brake manufacturers to supply items to specifications
the unit will be repairable by an accredited shop and failing that would be available from the wreckers.
