#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.

#32 of 103 loss of washer fluid by barbiescar Jan 12, 2008 (3:11 pm)
No response to my last post. So, Ill try this one. I am losing all the fluid in my washer tank. I wonder if its a tube or what that has a hole in it or is off the line?   I know I sound like a female and I am. Replies to this message: vidbydesign (Jan 21, 2008 7:45 am)

Replying to: barbiescar (Jan 12, 2008 3:11 pm) Never apologize for asking a good question...it's a sure sign of intelligence.I had a similer problem with my Volkswagon reserve tank. It could be:   A) the cap is leaking and lost it's seal. Check this by driving with the blue washer fluid filled up in it and drive over some bumps and take a few hard turns. Look under the hood and see if you see any signs of splasing near the top or leaks. Get a big rubber washer to fix it. Look for at auto parts store or Lowes plumbing dept. poss dealer part too.   B) The tank has a fine crack in it creating a slow leak. Fill it up and let it sit for awhile (hours maybe) over concrete pavement or some surface where you can spot leaks & drips later. See if level is lower too to make sure you don't mistake it for other drips. Use colored water or blue washer fluid. Remeber, it may only allow it to leak if the weather is warm and the engine is warm due to thermal stress on the crack. If you find the leak you'll still have to take the tank out so why not by a new one although it can be glued with the right kind of plastic/nylon or whatever material type glue the tank is made from.  I'd just buy a new one or if you can afford it. Hope this helps.

Replying to: dennis1979 (Dec 18, 2007 6:26 pm) Had the same problem with my 2000. Turns out that it was the idler pully. Suggest that when you have the pully changed,,,,,,replace the serpentine belt also.
#36 of 103 Remote Key Programming 1994 Lincoln Continental by keys Dec 12, 2007 (4:28 pm)
I have a 1994 Lincoln Continental. I lost my remote key and I got a new and the instruction to program it says that I have to jump the connectors which are located in the back of the glove box. My question is how to do I get there?
#37 of 103 95 Lincoln Conti replacing rear brake light? by weddhd Feb 09, 2008 (10:45 am)
How do you remove the rear brake light (in the trunk lid) of a 95 Lincoln Continental, and install new bulb?   I tried removing the stiff fabric covering the inside of the trunk lid by removing the plastic pins, I found the bulb holder but I could not pull it out to replace the bulb. I also tried to turn it without success. How does one get to the bulb housing to replace a burned out bulb?
#38 of 103 interior lights come off and on by barbiescar Feb 17, 2008 (7:05 am)
Up last night turning the interior lights off. It happened the night before and drained the battery. What would cause this? I turned off the automatic switch so they wouldnt come on. Also, when it does this the mileage turns up to 700 miles??? weird.
