1997 Lincoln Mark VIII - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

You will need more than just air bags. Sensor, module etc.

Ebay is a good source for this part. You can either buy the entire console, or just the cover.

blinking cel on any OBDII vehicle is a warning sign not to drive it-steady light imeans there is a fault or code, but blinking means there is a serious problem and it should not be driven, have the codes read immediately.

make sure the lines have no burrs or rough edges, are cut straight, and you have to push them in hard, so that they 'click' into place.

it is the dreaded blend door issue, common on second generation mark viii's-the arm on the door is weak and easily breaks, go onto enthusiust forums like Lincoln.org, or Lincolnsonline.com for more information, people do fix them by themselves and if you find a member close to you you might be able to get it done for you for less than an arm and a leg.

sounds like your is stuck off.does it run ok after it warms up. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/kenneth_3efc1f8510674f04

it should say on inside cover of fuse panel

Does it have air shocks on the front? Perhaps the are leaking.

they take a tool to turn the piston in soo you have to open bleeder vavle an take pry bar or screw driver to push piston in. but you have to have the tool to turn the piston back in the caliper any auto store will have it & it not much $5.00-$8.00. it is square w/**** on it that goes in the holes on the piston

Your best bet,on a vehicle over 8 years old, is not to keep repairing the air suspension system.
Replace it with a conventional non air shock, such as strutmasters or similar product

Your battery may have an internal short.
If you take it to autozone they will do a load test on your battery to confirm its condition

try hitting the starter with a hammer lightly . have some one turn the key while you hit starter sounds like it may be the starter .

On a car that old most likely simplest route is to get a used compressor with a functioning clutch and have the whole thing replaced and recharged.

I suggtes start removing the plastic cover over the engine. Then, in the passenger side, remove the intake tube and the resonator. Follow the wires until you see them go underneath a cover attached to the valve cover by 4 bolts. Remove that, and there are the plugs.

You'll need a extention to get to them, as they're deep in there. On the driver side, you'll see some electronics in your way and possibly the PCV hose. Just remove that, remove the cover again, and there are the other 4.

Keep in mind this firing order for 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII 4.6 liter DOHC V-8 VIN "V"...

neutral safety switch most probable cause

your brake booster is leaking i describe it trying to push a brick wall lol replace booster and problem solved

brakes on my Mark 8 have become hard as the brake pedal takes longer to come to a stop and there is a hissing sound. I presume that is the master cylinder power assist..What would that cost to replace parts and labor..

Hi! The steering column replacement has nothing to do with this but I do suspect a faulty brake piston. The brake piston on the right is sticking to the pads thats why it has uneven stopping power. You will need to have the brake piston seal replaced for the rubber is surely worn. Now you'll have an idea on what to tell your mechanic. This will shed some light to him.
