#22 of 103 94 Continental instrument cluster by jameswhinson Jun 18, 2007 (7:19 am)
Have a 94 Continental that was giving me 'Check DCL' message and was giving low oil level readings (which were incorrect).   Advised by mechanic to replace entire cluster. Bought one from salvage yard online. Had it installed. Still getting 'Check DCL' (comes on, beeps 10 times, goes off, very random), gas level read 8 gallons, drove it 120 miles, gas level reading went to 12 gallons. Getting 'CO' reading on left display for fuel reading.   Is this related to the instrument cluster or is there another potential cause? Replies to this message: 88lcss (Aug 30, 2009 10:01 pm)

#24 of 103 98 Continental battery light periodically flashing. by brandiebw Aug 17, 2007 (3:57 am)
I have a 98 continental and the battery light is periodically flashing (usually after driving it a few miles). It nevers stays on is just flashes every once and awhile and then stops. The lights flash also almost like a surge. I had the battery and the alternator (1 year old) tested and they are fine. Can someone please tell me what they think might be wrong. I really appreciate it.   Brandie
#25 of 103 Low Tire Pressure Warning on a '98 continental. by lincolnabe Sep 17, 2007 (5:32 pm)
My low tire pressure warning is blinking on the overhead console and everytime I start my car it displays the "warning low tire pressure" message. The tire pressure were all ok and I suspect that the sensors were faulty. It's possible that the sensors ran out of battery (i read that the smartire sensor battery lasts only 5-8 yrs) I have a 1998 lincoln continental, if anybody have this kind of problem and got it fixed, let me know.
#26 of 103 ENGINE OVERHEAT by phillipa Nov 16, 2007 (1:53 pm)
I have been blessed with a 1997 Lincoln Continental with an overheat problem. The water pump was replaced because the bearings were going bad. The thermostat was replaced because it only opened about a quarter of what the new one does. During a test drive the water temperature meter stayed cold and then rapidly moved up and up to hot. I could get no heat from the heater either. The next day the water reservoir was empty so I added more coolant. It is hard to completely refill the cooling system when fully drained due to it's design. Today the temperature gauge, heater, and cooling system worked just fine. Question is can this car's cooling system do strange things if not completely full?

#28 of 103 2002 continental lighting probs by barbiescar Dec 12, 2007 (5:53 pm)
I have a 2002 Lincoln continental that has recently had a new fuel pump installed. It would just quit on me in the middle of nowhere. Now, I have a problem with the interior lighting. It will go off when the car is turned off and door closed, but will come back on for the rest of the night. It drained my battery. What would be the cause of this? Hope someone can help me.

#29 of 103 98 Continental possible transmission problems??? by dennis1979 Dec 18, 2007 (6:26 pm)
I have a 1998 Continental that makes a terrible whirring sound when I start it and continues while it idles cold. When I accelerate the whirring gets louder but if I take my foot off the accelerator the whirring goes away. Dealer thinks its the transmission other independent garage thinks it might be the power steerin pump. Has anyone else had anything like this??

Replying to: dennis1979 (Dec 18, 2007 6:26 pm) That would be the power steering pump, especially if someone put in some stop leak or thick power steering fluid.
