If you changed the pollen filter which wouldnt cause the problem in the first place and now you require a workshop manual plan then may i respectfully point out that this type of repair is extremely dangerous if you dont know what your doing and best left to a authorised agent or a least a local garage with a AC re-gassing machine and some idea how to use it to locate faults ,a vehicle this age will lose AC gas over a course of time and require topping up at least every two summers if not every summer as it gets older and this vehicle is 10 yrs old putting it in the dealers terms /BANGER CLASS

SOURCE: 2000 Lincoln Ls Heater blowing cool air

You also could have air in your coolant system. You can't just add coolant on these models after you drain the system or let it run low on coolant. The degas bottles on these models also have a flaw, where they crack along a seam. Sometimes coolant will leak, sometimes not, depending on how high the crack is on the bottle. But what it is guaranteed to do is allow air into your system, which can cause havoc with overheating (air surrounds the thermostat so it doesn't open) and keep coolant from flowing, particularly through the highest point in the system: the heater core. There is a heater core bleeder valve attached to a line near the top of the degas bottle (next to the expension line up top) with a plastic, flathead srewdriver face. Turn the heat on high and run the system at idle for 5 minutes. Then open the valve and keep it open until a steady stream of coolant comes out. (It's like bleeding your brakes.) That will clear any air from the system and at least give you peace of mind that this is not your problem. Then run the motor at 2000 rpms, with the heat still on high, for about 5 minutes or until hot air starts coming out. Release the bleeder valve again until a steady stream comes out. Then let the system cool and check your coolant level and fill as needed. I'd pull the degas bottle and inspect it...should have been a recall.

SOURCE: Dual Temperature controls inside - 2002 lincoln ls

The problem is most likely a bad dual climate control valve. This component is located on the right side near the radiator under the hood. It will have several coolant hoses hooked to it and 2 silver cylinders protruding from it. You can clamp off the heater hoses at the heater core and see if both sides cool then and this will tell you that the valve is letting coolant thru when it shouldn't be.

This will narrow it down to either the valve or the control head inside the car,or wiring in between them. The only way to narrow it down further is if you have a scan tool that could access the climate control data. Have seen several of these valves cause this concern and have only seen one control head cause it.

SOURCE: cabin air filter, location

It's located on the engine compartment firewall, passenger-side. Open the hood, stand by the right front wheel and you'll see the fasteners to remove forward of the wipers. Fasteners are removed by pushing the center in, then pulling them out. To replace. pull the center out, replace it, then push it flush to lock.

Good luck and hope this helps.

My chrysler grand voyager blows out very cold air from under the glove box not the feet vents and hot air from all the other vents how can you have hot and cold at the same time

My 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan was missing the plastic cover for the cabin air filter compartment. Since the cabin air filter is right next to the blower motor, it's the first place the cold AC air can blast out instead of being properly channeled through the duct work and vents. On my van it's located under the dash at passengers' left foot, maybe yours is the same? Take a look under the dash, you'll see the edge of the cabin air filter exposed in an opening roughly 1.5" X 10". You can special order a new cover at the dealer or pull one at your favorite junk yard. It's a good time to install new filter. Pull out the old filter and use a flashlight to look up in the compartment. Mice like to nest there.

Air conditioner blowing hot air

Blowing hot air when set to A/C is almost always a stuck blend door, dead blend door actuator, or a cracked or disconnected blend door actuator vacuum line. The blend door is inside the a/c ducting under the dash, but the actuator will be accessible outside the ducting.

My a/c on my 2000 Lincoln LS has started blowing cold and hot air out of the same vents at the same time and then eventually it blows only hot air. Any ideas what could be the cause and suggestions on how...

I can tell you, that there is no way you can fix that in your driveway.

You need a professional scan tool and diagnostic charts to follow

The LS is very High Tech and all electronic. The HAVC, is a complete System onto it's self.
