Check Engine light is on and I am trying to have it hooked up to a diagnostics computer and they can not find where to hook it up?
it is on the drivers side, just past the bottom of the knee bolster on the right side, it is flush with the bottom, that is why it is hard to find

I have a customer with a 2002 Lincoln LS.....It is a V8 if it matters.Either way,she came by today and I checked all fuses and they were all good as far as I could see.None were blown.I did happen to notice that one of the relays was cracked slightly @ the top.Any assistance will help.The car runs great and all other components are working.Only the horn is not working.Please let me know if there is anything else I should checkas it has no owners manual with it.............
Thanks,
Brent
the problem is your clock spring. it is not that hard to change but remember to disconnect your battery and let the vehicle sit twenty minutes. there are two screws on the side of your steering wheel. take them out then you will have the chance to release the airbag connector. once you get it disconnected there are a few panels on the lowere steering column under the dash that needs to be disconnected. the last thing will be your steering wheel bolt. it is a star socket. all together it will take you less than an hour. part cost me $138. after that my horn and my cruise control worked as advertised.

My '02 Lincoln LS has about 65,000 miles. Last year it started overheating. The engine would start to whine, the temp gauge would get to H and the message light would beep to ''check engine temp''. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the cooling fan. A few months later it started overheating again. This time they replaced the thermostat. A little while after that it started overheating again. They again replaced the fan. Now, 10 months later, it is overheating again. Took it back to the dealer and they again replaced the thermostat. On the way home from the dealer last night the car started to get hot again. Temperature gauge got 3/4 of the way to H, engine started to whine, then it corrected itself and the temp needle lowered back to 1/2 way between C and H. This morning on the way to work, same thing. This is costing me a fortune to keep ''fixing'' things that are not solving the problem. What can be the problem? Please HELP.
The cooling fan on the LS-V8 is hydraulic yes. But it also has a pressure switch on the pump that drives the fan. It is controlled by the temperature sensor. All these things must be taken into account. But the whining sound my lead me to believe that the pump is either low on fluid or is wearing out. The fluid the fan pump uses is the same as the power steering pump container so check it first. The same thing happened to my wife's Lincoln. I replaced the fan as well because everybody told me to do that but it didn't work. I found out that the fan is just a hydraulic motor in reverse it only spins as fast as the pump makes it spin and that is controlled by the temp. sensors. When the engine get's hotter the pressure goes up and the fan spins faster. This adds more power to the engine when it's running cooler because the fan doesn't have to spin at max speed. So good luck. I hope this has solved your problem.

what gear to drive in D-4 or D-5? a lincoln Ls
D5. This will use all 5 gears. D4 will not shift into 5th (overdrive). This causes higher revs on the highway, more noise and less fuel mileage. D4 is only really used when going down long hills for better engine braking. Leave it in d5 and let the cars computer do the shifting for you.

where is the fuel shut off pump switch lincoln ls 2002
The fuel cut off reset switch is located behind the driverside left kick panel, if you are sitting inside the car and where your left foot is, theres a panel there should be a hole there but sometimes there isnt, and the panel must be pulled off or back, there you will see the switch and on the top of it is where you would use your finger to push down, here a diagram to help you. good luck.

Where is bank1 and bank 2 located on a lincoln LS?
On all cars, the bank 1 is where the first piston is...Your firing order on that car which is the first piston...Buy a chilton or a repair manual for your car and it will tell you which firing order your motor has....Its usually on the right hand side...Passenger side...Rule of thumb if you look at the spark plugs the one closest too you is usually the first piston....Bank 1 is located on the same side as the first piston...I hope this helps...
