I've owned the vehicle for 16 years, it has been immaculately maintained. I just had a complete tune up/checkup etc., with transmission service. I'm noticing a vibration at about 65 mph up that wasn't there before. It's not hard, but noticeable. It's fast, like a vibrator, and comes and goes every few seconds. The engine isn't missing, at least that I'm aware of, smooth at idle anyway. I've also noticed a bit of a jump in oil consumption, about 1/2 qt. every other week, I used to not put anything in it for months. This vibration goes away after slowing down. I'm not sure what to think of it, anyone have any ideas ?? ]]> Town Car jteamaz http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=971171 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=971023&goto=newpost Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:38:48 GMT I need to replace mine and need manuals(I hate following directions:lol2: ), and any help from you experts. For instance:
1- Do I need to evacuate the AC?
2- Does the whole dash need to come out?
3- " " front seat " " " "?

I fixed something today, for a change. Any one ever heard of this happening? It was the last thing I checked, damn.

The no start problem was that four of the rocker arms had jumped off on that left bank. It was sort of a timing issue, the chain is fine no problems there. Didn't appear to be any damage to anything, inside there I have no idea why they might have jumped off. I suppose it is possible that four of the lifters collapsed, from car sitting for so long.

Now on to the tune up problems, from the car sitting for so long with this problem.

I'm sure very simple, but before i go ahead and change the bulb, does anyone have any tips to make this easy as possible?

Its the passenger side headlight right behind the battery. Should i just remove the batter and unplug and plug back in? ]]> Town Car pmezo http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970888 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970726&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:58:12 GMT I have a 2000 Town car that the turn signals or emergency flashers don't work. It was determined that it was the light module located under the dash board. I searched on ebay, and they are pricey near 600 dollars, it looks like a mother board. The shop that I normally take it to told me that they can't fix it because they have to take the codes from the old board and put them on to the new board. Has anyone else every have that problem? I was wondering what you would pay to have that fixed.

To have it registered I had frt end work done, new tires and an alignment as well as new shocks all around. That tells me steering linkage is good. I drove it 3000 miles on interestates to get it home. No real problems, steering seemed very sensitive. The other day when correcting for a wind gust I was wondering into oncoming lane then into ditch before finally getting control. The speed sensing switch on dash dose not seem to make any difference no matter where I have it. It seems to stay on slow speed sterring all the time. Any ideas? I recently got a 97 Towncar.

I got about 2 miles from home, and all of a sudden, the car was bouncing up and down when driving over anything but totally flat & smooth road. It almost rattled my teeth! I got out and checked the tires, which looked fine, but I noticed the back end was about 5" from the ground--very low. I checked the manual, and read about the air suspension switch in the trunk. I checked it, and it was on. I turned it off then on a few times, but it made no difference. Needless to say, I drove back home--slowly.

Since this is Saturday, I won't be able to have my mechanic (20 miles away) check it until Monday. So here are my questions:

1.) Would it be safe for me to drive the car those 20 miles, or is it likely to do damage? Should I have it towed in?

2.) Any ideas as to what is likely causing the problem? Is it just a fuse or something simple, or am I looking at laying out some big bucks?

Thanks--I appreciate any and all answers. ]]> Town Car annegosh http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969853 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969485&goto=newpost Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:47:09 GMT First need for heat this fall and the heater in the 91 Lincoln Town Car with automatic temperature control is only blowing cool air.

This is not the engine but rather the suspension. I opened the hood, and it sounds like it is coming from the left front of the car. If I push down on the fender, to make the car bounce up and down, I get that sound. It's not that loud, it's just sounds like something is baning into something else, on the front end.
