I have a 1990 Lincoln Continental with 58,000 mile just had the heads redone at 55,000 blew a head gasket. i have many problems and as everyone knows with lincolns one problem creates another so if i could get some guidence i how to solve thes problems i would be very thankful
1st
my A/C has a leak in it i know where the leak is. the leak is in the factory sealed hose i dont know if i can replace it or i have to get some sort of sealent that will work i have heard many things such as muffler compound or JB Weld but i dont know if those will withstand the high pressure
2nd
my P,R,N,D,D,1 will not light up i know its not a fuse i cheaked i think it is a light bulb and if it is where do i replace that at
3rd
my rear suspension doesnt stay in the air for more then 5 min when car is off i can hear the leak when it is filling and when its sitting but when its filling it gets to a cetain height and stops the leak is very loud but once they are filled the compressor stops running and doesnt turn on while driving to fill it up so it only leaks out with car is off
4th
i have a 8 in long tear in my leather seat and i was wondering if my dealership can give me a patch or of any other cheap fixes that might work
5th
squealing under the hood by alternator, power steeling pump, idler pully, and tensioner i have replaced my alternator, idler pully, serpintine belt and power steering pump and it stoped but the squeal will come ocasionally when reving not when idleing
6th
Hard start that all i know about it the car will start everytime it just takes a while to turn over im hoping if i get a tune up that it will stop
and lastly
my antenna wont come up anymore its not like i listen to the radio because i have an aftermarket cd player but i just would like to know why it doesnt work

Needs a new hose. The system will need to be cleaned and re-filled as well

Yep, it's a bulb. It's also a PITA to replace. Lots of stuff needs to be pulled out of the way in order to get at the bulb.

This is strange, sounds like a vent valve is getting a bad signal. Try switching off the system after it's filled. The switch should be in the trunk. 1st prove / disprove the system is abnormally venting.

There's a guy at LincolnsOnline that wrote an article on this subject.

A belt squeak as described should be traced with a listening device, such as a rubber hose to the ear. If it gets sucked into the moving belt, don't blame me.

We'll all cross our fingers :)

You'll have to check the antenna connector for voltage and possible replace the antenna with an aftermarket unit
