#1043 of 1111 1997 LTC Battery Drain by wjones51

Aug 05, 2011 (4:40 pm)

I have a 1997 Lincoln Towncar and I am trying to figure out what is causing my battery to drain over a 12 to 13 hour period. I have tried removing each fuse under the hood with no change. I removed the light from the trunk and this has slowed the process but has not eliminated it. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what else I can consider to be the problem.

How old is the battery?
 
Disconnect the + cable overnight and see if the battery is healthy the next day. It could be you just need a new battery.

And if Euphonium's solution doesn't help, go into the car at night after it's been off a few hours, and feel everything on the dash. If something (like the stereo) is hot, there's your drain.

Hello, I own a 1998 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series. My problem is no cold air comes out of the air vent. The AC compressor kicks in and water drips beneath the car, but no cold air. In fact after turning the AC on, the air almost instantly becomes hot, not even cool. I was curious if anybody would be able to pinpoint the problem or even some suggestions on what the problem could be. I thank you in advance.

You have the oft diagnosed "blend door" problem under the dash in the diverter box. The door that regulates cool air and hot air, to maintain your temperature is stuck on hot. Not an easy repair either.

#1050 of 1111 2006 Lincoln Towncar Ac Problems by nsarafia

I have a very annoying problem. My air conditioning works fine in dry weather however, when it starts raining, the air conditioner starts blowing warm air.
This will also happen when I take my car thru a carwash.
After 10 or 15 minutes when it stops raining all of a sudden the ac is blowing cool air again.
This happens all the time when it rains. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

#1051 of 1111 Jittery Ride On 2004 Town Car Ultimate limited by bremertong

Aug 25, 2012 (10:24 pm)

Recently traded for this car, had a 2005 Town Car Signature with 10,000 more miles and fewer features. The 2004 has a very jittery ride compared to the 2005 that I previsiously owned. The dealership did a four wheel alignment to try to correct the ride quality but without success.
Wondered if there are other ways to produce a better ride quality in the 2004? When I bought the
2004 assumed there was too much air in the tires but that and the dealer provided alignment have not corrected the problem. What other diagnostics can be done to find and correct this problem?
All suggestions and owner comments appreciated.

As in you go over a pebble and the whole car bounces??That's suspension issues. If that's not what it does,your problem could be tires..
