2002 LS Front End Steering Problems... by 2002lsv8
Mar 14, 2006 (7:55 pm)
Reply
I have owned an LSV8 2002 for 15 months and thought it was an awesome auto until today. The vehicle will be four-years-old on 11/16/2006 and only has 58,000 miles on it.
 
Apparently the front end has been going nuts on me since I changed rubber in October of 2005. (Same Michelin Pilot series that came with the car. I did not purchase the rubber at the dealership due to the fact that they did not and could not offer Road Side Assistance.)
 
After several attempts to figure out the problem with both tire shop and dealership, everyone is puzzled - that was until today.
 
The dealership hooked up a computer to the car and found out that the Variable Assist Actuator is defective as well as a module that controls this actuator may also be defective.
 
The end result - Me spending $886.24 + Tax to replace the defective item/s.
 
I told the dealership that I declined the repair work and it still costed me $140.66 for them to diagnose!
 
Personally, I do not feel that I should have to pay for an item that apparently was going bad when I changed the rubber and was still under the 50,000 mile mark.
 
No... I did not take an extended warranty and now I wish I did, but none the less, I feel that this is a manufacture defect, especially when the vehicle is not even four-years of age and is only 8,000 miles outside the 50,000 mile warranty.
 
Now, I could see if the vehicle was 5-years of age and had 70-80,000 miles and if the vehicle was owned by more than two people and was never serviced/maintained by a FORD/LM dealership, that I would have to pay for this.... but since I am only the second owner and the vehicle has always been serviced by a FORD/LM service centers, then I firmly believe that FORM should take care of this item for me.
 
I tell this story because I would like to know if anyone has expierenced anything like this - and what they have done about it, or what anyone may suggest for me to do, other than what I had already thought of... Find the car a home.
 
Thank you in advance for your time.

Ford has a comsumer affairs appeal process where you can go above the service managers head. You should also call your local district office.
But since you didn't buy the car new, they will be less inclined to help.

FREE - NEW Lincoln LS Rain Sensor by jhazel
Sep 09, 2006 (7:31 am)
Reply
Hi folks. I purchased a brand new rain sensor (part number XW4Z-17D547-AA) back in 2000. I had planned to use it in a project I was thinking about doing but never got around to it. The part is brand new and has never been used. It also has all the schematics surrounding the LS wiper system. If anyone wants this part they are welcome to it. The part is free...just cover shipping and it is yours. if you are interested, check my profile for an email address where you can contact me. I'll hang on to it for a few more days and then I'm throwing it away if there are no takers.

LED lights for 2002 LS by jrieger
Sep 13, 2006 (7:52 am)
Reply
Hello folks,
I am attempting to put LED stop/turn signal bulbs in my LS. I purchased some great LEDS from a company in AZ. They are as bright or brighter than the incandescent bulbs. My problem is this. My car is sending pulsed current to the LED's, which cause them to flicker rapidly (about 15-20 times per second). There is definitely a rapid increase /decrease in voltage. This happens when the motor is ON or OFF, so that rules out the alternator or charging system. The necessary resistors are in place however it happens with or without them.
I have tested the bulbs in a 2002 Escape and they function flawlessly.
I know there is a Lincoln Engineer that would laugh at this problem and tell me how (if possible) to fix. But I can't find that person. CAN ANYONE SHED SOME LIGHT (NO PUN INTENDED)ON MY PROBLEM? Thanks JRIEGER

Hey guys this is my first post I have just purchased a 2000 lincon ls has alot of miles on it (146,000) but anyways I was wondering if there are any websites that have lincon ls performance parts or atleast show setups I have looked everywere and have got nothing the only thing I have got was a website called www.lskoncepts.com and all they had was a couple of bodykits. what I was wanting to do is find a ls rolling chassis (no motor or trans or possibly blown motor or trans)and put a small block chevy in it or possibly even a small big block. Tell me how many of you have been at a stop light and had a lincon ls come up next you you with a carbed small block under the hood lol bring some old school to new school and mix a little class. well if anyone has any helpfull tips such as info about if the rear end will hold up or what kind of engine compartment tricks I will need to do just stuff like that. well thanks guys and hope to hear from some of ya soon.
