stumped on lincoln navigator stuck in 4 high

dimples0324 — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 22:17:43 GMT

Hi
Took my car in to ford dealer to have them fix the problem. 600.00 later 6 days they said my car was fixed. They replace a clip and a plastic cam. I took it back to let know it still drives the same..they looked at it call me and said I need a new transfer case the cost will be 2000.00! We talked to another guy who is a distance from us.. who has worked on these for 27 and said he would fix the problem..he said that the clutch were probably stuck. Well I picked my car up from the ford dealer when I got home and went to back up and turned my wheels and as I was turning I thoguht I a ran over a rock and stop no rock..and pull back up and the wheels turn perfect and no 4x4 stuck..well my sweet husband said to test the 4x4 again..well it is stuck again...do you have any Ideal what could be happening...I tried several time backing up and turning it isn't making the feeling like a ran over a rock anymore it is stuck again..so before I have to pay another person who might think they know can you give me any thing to go on. My husband is going to take it out and look at it..do you think the clutches in the transfer case have anything to do with it staying stuck in 4 high?
I want to thank you so much in helping me in any way!
appreciated

lincoln03 — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 01:37:36 GMT

I believe the tire pressure sensors were removed from my 03 Navigator. I get as blinking Tire pressure system failure light on the dash (very annoying).

Any suggestions? should I start by replacing the sensors in the tires?

2003 Lincoln Navigator suspension recalibration failed! Help!

damankam786 — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:21:58 GMT

Hello,
I have a 2003 Lincoln Navigator which dropped from one side ( Front right side) I took it to my mechanic and he replaced the sensor next to the air bag and the car went up again. Now the front right side( which was the one that was dropped) is slightly hire that the other side. Also the "Check Suspension" sign is still there. My mechanic then tried to recalibrate the system but he said the computer is showing that the Recalibration failed. ( Module failed to recalibrate the system). Can this be because the heigh adjustment arm ( located near the front right side near the tire) is not working properly? My mechanic said that everytime he puts the arm back in place and I drive it, it pops right back out. My mechanic also said to drive the car around for a week and then bring it back to him so that he can try to recalibrate the system. ( because it failed the first time he did it) Can the height arm cause the recalibration fail? Also why cant the computer recalibrate the system? What can I do to recalibrate the system? Also if you can tell me what will it cost to get the system and the "Check Suspension" light removed from the dealer? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Garage added at least one litre too much oil to my 02 Lincoln LS 3.9. Then I started to have coil misfire. Coincidence?

rbt3 — Mon, 26 May 2008 16:16:23 GMT

Will excess engine oil cause premature failure of the plug coils. Their system tells them to install 6.5 litres. I question them but they stuck to it. Unfortunately I allowed them to do it. The manual and the dealer says 5.7 litres.

Does my 2007 Lincoln MKZ have self-adjusting disc brakes? How can I tighten them to get a higher brake pedal?

NevadaCity — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:56:09 GMT

After 15,000 miles my master brake cylinder was replaced (a new one, not rebuilt, and under warranty) because my car's brake pedal drifted down to the floorboard and my car crept into intersections even with the foot brake fully applied.

Afterward, the pedal still drifted downward and felt mushy or soft when applied. I had my dealer bleed the whole brake system again, and while this stopped the pedal drift, the pedal is still low to the floor compared to the pedal on 2 other Lincoln MKZs I compared it with and feels soft/mushy and not hard/strong as it was for the first 15,000 miles.

Ford says it's now "normal." I want tighter, more positive brake action like I enjoyed for 18 months.
