Replying to: friendly1 (Oct 09, 2009 6:21 am) That really sucks......I had an 03 T/C and from what I learned about it...the 03 had is own unique electrical system. I found this out when I attempted to change out the radio and couldn't.

#117 of 124 Town Car vibration by rollar Oct 26, 2009 (6:05 pm)
I have a slight vibration and rumble in my 2007 town car. It reminds me of a car with a bad u joint ;; The dealer drove it and noticed it right away and has checked tires ,u joints,drive shaft,ring and pinion and still have it;; It is noticeable from 53 mph on up but have to be on a smooth blacktop road to hear it;;;Was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem as even Ford Motor Company did not offer any help..It is not loud and some people don't even notice it, but I do and it is aggravating on long drives;; Any good help would really be appreciated..

Replying to: rollar (Oct 26, 2009 6:05 pm) Did they actually pull the driveshaft? If they didn't, then they cant rule out the u-joints. A slight vibration like you describe can easily be a U-joint that is binding ever so slightly. I assume the tires were rotated, and nothing felt in the steering wheel. Only thing I can think of to locate it, have the car on a lift, with jack stands under the rear axle to simulate being on the road and put the car in gear and run it up to speed while taking a scope to the various drive train parts. If there is a wheel or tire issue, that is the only way to spot it.

#121 of 124 1999 Lincoln Town Car Electrical Gremlins by w9r1 Dec 05, 2009 (1:44 pm)
My 1999 Town Car just started running the battery down. The battery is only a year old and I had the electrical system checked at Pep Boys(everything checked out normal). Just to be sure about the battery (Florida kills batteries) I had a new Bosch battery installed yesterday. This morning I go to get in the car and it's dead again. I can't see where I left anything on, no lights and all doors are closed. When I turn on the ignition, the dash lights flash wierdly, then appear to go normal. Upon ignition it just clicks. The engine will jump start. I have an aftermarket stereo which was installed a couple of years ago by Auto Safe and Sound. The unit has an external Sirius tuner which appears to have stopped working about the same time the anomolies started. I'm going to charge the battery and disconnect the Sirius tuner. Any other ideas? Replies to this message: acdii (Dec 05, 2009 6:42 pm) w9r1 (Dec 05, 2009 7:18 pm) nwraaa (Dec 05, 2009 8:09 pm)

Replying to: w9r1 (Dec 05, 2009 1:44 pm) You need to put an ammeter in series with the battery, and start pulling fuses until you see the draw go away, then isolate whatever is on that circuit until you find the problem.

Replying to: acdii (Dec 05, 2009 6:42 pm) Well now I'm beginning if I have a battery problem at all. Hooked up a jump box to the battery, all the starter would do is click. Hooked up the battery tender to charge the battery overnight and it indicated the battery was fully charged. Does anybody know if the starter solenoid on these starters is replaceable or if the whole starter has to be replaced? Anybody replaced a starter on one of these engines? Any gotchas?

Replying to: w9r1 (Dec 05, 2009 7:18 pm) The starter change-out is not tricky. However, this starter usually makes some unusual noises and does not turn the engine over quickly before it quits. It gives some indication that it is going-out. When you were checking the battery, did you do anything like turn the headlights on and try to operate the power windows, blow the horn, or operate the trunk release? If for some reason the starter motor resistance is high, it takes more battery power to turn it over.
