Electrical problems 2001 Lincoln Contental

Windows, blinkers, flashers, interior lights, and trunk release are not working. I checked the fuses and relays with no change. I then disconnected the battery and charged it over night. After reconnecting the battery and starting the car after a few minuets the problems went away. About a week later the problems returned. This time no luck with the prior fix no matter how long I had the battery disconnected. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The electronic's , control modules , driver door electronic control module ,the lighting control module , SCP serial data communication network . You have no way of fixing this . A factory scan tool would be needed to check communication on the SCP data network .

010 Ford SCP Communications
You would need factory service info. to find control moduels , there power an ground circuits to do electrical testing . Voltage drop testing etc....
You could very easily make thing's worst , short out the network an the vehicle will do nothing . You have no idea of the complexity of this .

SOURCE: 2001 Lincoln LS electrical system SHUTDOWN

change the drive belt and have the voltage regulator in the back of the alternator checked out and also check for any draws on the car anywhere cause this can cause the alternator to over charge trying to keep the battery charged up

SOURCE: 1990 lincoln town car trunk motor will work when releasing trunk

All you have to do is bring it in and it takes 2 minutes...to make it like a regular manual car trunk...they tap the part where it closes and it works just like a regular trunk. Much better because I always thought I'd get my hand caught in the automatic. One of the guys at the Service Center did it for me in 2 minutes for free:)) Don't get a new motor just make it manual. Plus the trunk open switch still works as usual.

SOURCE: I have a 2002 Lincoln Navigator. My car starts

do a draw test......disconnect the battery ground cable and place a test light in between the cable and battery. if there is a draw the light will come on. if this happens then pull all fuses one by one till the light goes out, when the light goes out then that circuit is the culprit. good luck

2005 Lincoln Town Car - Right turn signal is rapid blinking. ALL bulbs and front and rear have been replaced. It is still rapid blinking only on the right side. Is there a fuse that needs to be replaced?...

You might check the courtesy cornering lights that illuminate and do not blink. These go on to shine on the front corners of the car. Since they use electric when the blinkers work, it may make the blinkers work faster if the cornering bulb is burned out. You probably are not noticing that the cornering light is not on.

The blinkers and flashers are not working on my 2001 Grand Cherokee. Can you tell me where to locate the relay or switch to replace? Its not the fuse, we checked that first. thank you

when you get in your car and use the car turn signals and it does not work from the inside or out side and your hazard light dont work to then you need to replace the fuse located inside the front hood in a black box or inside the car located under the stering wheel next to the gas and brake pedle on the side. Remove it and check the fuses and flasher relay. The flasher relay in a black square looking fuse that has 3,4, or 5 prongs. That is your problem of why the hazord lights and blinkers are not working, you can go to a part store to find the flasher relay for 9 to 15 dollars max. Napa has more of a selection. PS.... when you find the flasher and its burn out it is no good ; make sure the volts match!!!! If you buy a flasher and it burns out instinly after replaced then wireing is short and go with less volts you hace to ballance things of your car was worked on before, things where changed. Check you lights in front and back brights and dim, brakes and reverse lights. replace bulbs if needed could correct the problem if flasher still doesnt let blinkers or hazord work. If bulbs where replaced and still no blinkers or hazord lights then you need a new or used (another) switch nob. You can go to a local junk yard and take off what you need off the same car you have and pay for it then replace it on your car. Or you can go to amazon ebay or such to find. If you are a WOMEN or OLDLADY or some one not good at removing parts then this is not your job. Find someone who can help, or pay something that could be so easyily done. I hope this solves your question.

''VW BEETLE FLASHERS WORK BUT BLINKERS DO NOT'' Replaced flasher module because was told it had dual function but blinkers still do not work. Is there another component somewhere or is blinker selector arm...

Check all fuses. Use a test light to check if there is current to the rear bulbs when flashers engaged. If there is, then replace the burnt bulbs. Check for ground at the rear lights.
Do the front marker lights work when engaged??

1996 cadillac sedan deville blinker stoped blinking

I assume all lamps are tested to be ok.
1) Check fuse A11 in trunk (10A) is ok,
2) Check turn flash enable relay 'F' in trunk is operated when vehicle Ign on,
3) Check +12V is present on Lt Blu wire on turn flasher module (LHS steering column) when Ign on,
4) if no fault found during above checks, operation of the turn switch should be checked

TURN SIGNAL, BRAKE & HAZARD LIGHTS

No Turn Signal Operation (blinker)The turn signal lights in your car are a basic electrical system that controls the front and rear blinker lights to alert the intended direction of the vehicle. We have listed some of the most common problems and repair troubleshooting tips below:
Troubleshooting Procedure
To start troubleshooting this problem:
  • Turn the key to the on position (do not start engine)
  • Inspect the system fuse located in the fuse panel and replace if needed. If you cannot find the location of the blinker fuse consult your owner's manual or an online repair manual
  • When a blinker flasher fails it can cause blinker lights to say on, not blink, or not go on at all. To test the blinker system flasher, remove the flasher unit and insert a jumper wire between the two terminals. If blinker stays on in both directions without blinking, replace the flasher. If you cannot find the location of the blinker flasher consult your owners manual or an online repair manual.

Brake lights are not coming on.

Had this on a 97 Buick Regal. It was in the steering column. New blinker arm, from junk yard fixed it. On a lincoln (ford), you may get lucky and have a switch either on the brake pedal or some cars have it on the master cylinder.(older ones) A large amount of problems on any car, (electrical) are ground related. Check fuses first. Connections between trunk and car, also. This car is really a Jag in disguise.LB
