The other night my car started acting wierd. I went to get into my car, and half way into putting in my #in the key pad. The pad just died. Black out, and would not let me do anything. Then last night at work people kept comeing over to me, telling me my lights were on. I knew that they weren't, I stood a waited for them to turn off. I tood a lot longer than usaual. But they did turn off. At least 8 different times I had people tell my my lights were on. I would walk to the parking lot, and nope the lights were not on. Well finally at 5am break, while walking across the parking lot to the break room my light come on. Along with my blinker. Someone asked why my alarm kept going off. I don't have an alarm. I don't know what is going on. Then someone said my brain must be scrambled. I think they were talking about the car. But who knows for sure. I half way think I am loosing it too.
I have a 2000 town car, exective series.
I have a few questions, like if it is the brain, what should I expect. Does it take a few hours to fix, or days. Do they just plug me into a computer and reprogram me, or do they have to replace a mother board or something. I know nothing about cars. Just a middle aged lady who got a great deal on a car. But everyone tells me that is a Lincoln, they don't know about fancy cars like these. I am a little nervous, do you think this will act up while the car is driveing, so far it is just doing this while the car is off. I don't know how much of the car is controled by computer. Is something like this very expensive. Is it like haveing to get the oil changed-bad, new tires -bad, or heaven forbid need a new transmition- bad.
I would like to have an idea as to what is going on, and what to expect so the machinic doesn't take me to the cleaners. You know, she has a Lincoln, she has lots of money.
