I'm told that this is a fairly easy install. Engine light came on,took it to my local fast lube, they could read the code, but they don't get into replacing coolant temp sensors. Found a genuine motorcraft sensor for about 33.00, just need to know if I'm capable of doing this myself. Thanks

2004 LS w/3.9V8, coming home from taking my son to school on wednesday and the engine light comes on. Never had it come on before. Went to my local mechanic, he hooks up the OBD and tells me it is the coolant temperature too low.Now I understand that coolant temp. too high would cause problems...

2004 LS w/V8 and 5 speed automatic. When I put this car in reverse from park, she is really giving a jolt. from reverse to drive not as bad but still rougher than I would expect from this car.

I'm about to tackle the front brake pads and just wanted to know if the method for retracting the front caliper pistons is the same as the rear.Does the front screw in like the rear? 2004 LS w/ 3.9 V8. Thanks

On my way to take my son to school, had gone only 4 miles, engine temp fine,everything else seemed fine, then all of a sudden, the car began to slow down, engine died. I pulled over, tried to restart, it starts, runs about 3 seconds, and then dies again. I'm about to call the local repair shop...

Got the brake pads on the rear of my 2004 LS tonight, pumped the brakes several times to work the self adjuster,then drove down the road to test.Braking action is perfect,absolutely no noise at all, I was really pushing the brakes hard, placed the parking brake on several times, everytime...

Thanks for the tips on rear brake pads. Got the tool, works perfect, when I pulled the left rear caliper off, the rotor almost fell off, no problem at all, but when I tried to take off the right rear, no such luck. I removed the two rotor retaining rings that were on the studs then pulled, but...

I've just spent the evening trying to get new brake pads on my 2004 LS.New ceramic pads for the rear, easiest caliper assembly to take off,no problems until I tried to get the caliper piston pushed in. I used my trusty C clamp this piston would not even budge. Even loosened the brake bleeder...

Just started hearing that dreaded "scrub", so I bought a set of ceramic pads for front and rear.I have never had a problem changing brakes on any vehicle that I had, but usually, I was able to use a haynes or chiltons manual. Haven't been able to find one for my LS. Are there any hints or tips...

Manual says that the 5 speed automatic trans will "learn" your driving style. It says that to reset it disconnect the battery. If I do, will I lose the info in the navigation system? I have no problem resetting the clock, but I don't have a nav. cd to replace the info for that. Thanks

Just wondering about the keyless remotes that are on ebay. My wifes LS came without one and I would love not having to pay 100.00 + to the dealership. Does anyone have experience with these? They say "easy programing" and I just wondered if this is true. Thanks

Thinking about this tire for my wife's 2004 LS. They have a speed rating of 96W. Looking for something quiet. Thanks

I have just purchased a 2004 Lincoln LS with the V-8 and I really love it. The only thing is I am starting to hear brake noise and I'm anxious to get a new set of pads on the car. Problem is, I can't find a chilton or haynes manual for this car anywhere, not even online. If anyone out there...
