You will first need to remove the plastic piece behind the inner door handle that you use to pull the door shut with and there should be a 10mm bolt inside there behind the insulation. The plastic cover behind the inner door lever handle will need to come out. It's only in with clips. Remove the reflective lens on the end of the panel and you will see a phillips head screw inside. It's a long screw so be ready for many turns to get it out. Next, your power window controls will need to come out and they are only snapped into place but be careful with them because plastic prongs can be broken off if not pried out in the right direction. The same goes for the door lock switch. Unplug both once out. You will also see a triangle plastic piece (can break easily) towards the front top side of the panel. Make sure it clears it's way out when removing the panel. The rest of the panel is held up with downward facing plastic clips. Sounds hard but really it's all pretty simple. Study the back of the panel before putting it back on and take your time.

Lincoln produced three cars in 1996; the Continental, Mark VIII and Town Car. All three models have an instrument panel fuse panel (also called a dash fuse panel) located under the driver's side of the instrument panel. The Continental and Mark VIII additionally utilize a power distribution box on the driver's side of the engine compartment, near the battery. The Town car also has an engine compartment fuse box, however it is located on the passenger's side of the engine compartment, near the battery. You can find illustrations of these locations as well as procedures for how to check fuses and how to replace the fuse boxes here: https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-replace-your-car-fuse-box-by-jessica-howe

If you are referring the spring for the fuel door it should work, although it is off a Mark VII and not a Mark VIII. From the information I found they are supposed to be the same length.
The fuel filter for a mark VIII (at least in my 1993), is behind the wheelwall on the front passenger side of the car. You will need to take the wheel off and also take off the black covering by pulling out the plastic mounts and metal screws. as soon as those are removed, you will not miss the filter mounted to the inside left of the wheelwell
If you are getting the door ajar message you don't have to rplace the switch. Just spray it out good in the latch area with WD40. This will clean the switch contacts and make the message go away. I was a former Lincoln/Mercury mechanic and I used to see this problem on a daily basis. This was the Ford fix for this problem and the one I used on my own 98 mark VIII.
