My 2003 Navigator wont start. I turn the key and theres a whirring sound coming from the passenger side near the glove box, and it doesnt even attempt to turn over. I also am getting an error message on the dash saying "PRNDL ERROR" HELP!

That looks like Park-Reverse-Neutral-Drive-Low to me so I would guess the problem is your transmission position sensor.

OK I figured it out. there is a problem with certain navigators and explorers made before a specific date where the RELAYS can overheat (these are just big fuses and are located in your fusebox which is located under the glovebox, just remove the panel that is there. it just pulls off so you dont need a screwdriver or anything) (i didnt know any of this stuff until I did a shitload of research yesterday). Here is the Service Message.
Special Service Message from Ford
 
ANYWAYS... all you have to do to fix it is change out the upper right relay (#203 in my navigator) I switched it out with the upper left relay (#201 in my truck which is just for the trailer towing lights and I dont use that right now but will still order a new one up to replace it) I switched them out and turned the key and much to my relief, it started right up.
 
so... hopefully anyone reading this can understand that... otherwise just e-mail me.

I just discovered this solution about 2 months ago, after 5 trips to a dealer who could not find problem. My relay would buzz ( I guess stick) occasionaly. When it stopped buzzing, the car started. This went anywhere from 1 minute to overnight. I then realized shutting the front passenger door fixed this. The jar of the door closing, so close to the fuse box, would stop it from buzzing. Dealer could not duplicate. If I pushed on the relay, it would stop buzzing and car would start.
 
But now, after 2 months of new relay and issued solved, I thought, it is starting over. First relay had black smut on center post and melted plastic around it.
 
How do I fix the problem causing the overheating????

I am assuming this service message sent out by ford is referring to the fusebox itself. and that the fusebox needs to be replaced.
 
here is the whole page that I found referring to the problem and solution.

Hi everyone, I have an 06 Lincoln Navigator for some time now. i want to change it up a little. I like the look of the Lincoln Mark LT Grill. I was wondering if anyone know if the Grill and Hood of the Mark LT will fit on my Navigator.
