I've never seen a message appear, but this happens in my 04 about 2-3 times a year. I read old posts about this that it is a temporary (brief) disconnect between the main computer and transmission. The computer beeps (similar to the one you hear when you're low on fuel). Nothing to worry about.

Thanks guys. Any chance you know what this part is called? I've tried online parts sites (bought an 02 Sable moonroof glass from a dealer in the midwest and it was in mint condition - $50), but I can never narrow down the part name. I bet it is available if I just knew what the technical name...

Can anyone tell me where I can get the dashboard computer grill that houses the computer buttons "Fuel|Reset|Setup|Status" and two vents (see photo)? The dealer wants $125, but I figure there had to be a ton of em in the junkyards and I haven't found one yet. Mine broke and my mechanic put...

I'm on LI and used to go to Fountain Ave when I lived in Queens. On LI we hit a strip in Deep Park between the Southern State and Sunrise Highway or Ocean Parkway between the counties - Straight drags, flat, concrete, no 5-0:shifty: in some areas because of the shoulders and dunes.:p I...

Count my original guess of 20' and you only need three more. Man how did this get out of hand? This was a good thread until I opened my big mouth about the length of a guys drag.... I was just curious as to why I haven't been able to burn 'em. A couple of productive responses, resulted in...

Thanks. I popped the holders and finally located it today. I'm gonna blow it out for now and reset the CPU. I'll try to find a replacement online. Man these treads are awesome!!!

I have 87K and never changed mine or blown it out. I want to pull it out and look at it. How come any auto parts store, large or small never has one for the LS? I can just imagine what Lincoln charges for an OEM replacement!

Can we discuss the second part of my tread?? Has anyone had their message center buttons detach from the silver shroud in the dashboard? I am so pissed cause I couldn't use the buttons til I glued the button assembly back to it the dashboard shroud, but I don't think it will hold up long. I...

True - My bad.

Sorry, couldn't guage the length from the photo. Nice job. I guess going from a 91 mustang to a luxury vehicle with all the safety features bums me out a little. I turned of the TC the other night just to feel her fish tail a little in the rain. Felt like old times, but of course I hit...

Suspension seems solid, do many people go to Eibach springs, lower the vehicle, add a spoiler, etc..? I don't see too much of a benefit driving on Long Island and in NYC (always sitting in traffic), but every now and then you get a clean stretch of road to let the pony's out, or a windy road to...

How come the LS only spins em when the traction control is turned off? Does the computer take over thinking your on a wet or icy surface? I haven't been able to hold down a good spin for more than a few feet. How the hell did you rip what looks like 20 feet or so in your picture??

ILLS - Of all of the forums I've been in this has got to be one of the best and I've read quite a bit. You seem to be very knowledgable of the LS. Can you give a new dog some simple tricks on a Stock '04 LS V8 Sport. I remember the days with my '91 Mustang you could go to the local...

Thanks for the replies guys. Man that sucks, I would have thought Ford/Lincoln would wire the cars the same at birth and plug in whatever options the VIN number calls for. I know the LS's with NAV have a CD player in the trunk that you have to load the GPS CD into, but I figured the wire would...

Skip - Where's the pics???

I have an 04 LS V8 Sport with a premium sound system (in-dash 6 CD). Can I buy a nav. system from a wreck and install it in place of my existing unit? Is the harness ready to accept it? I doubt they wire every car different since most manufacturer's are standardizing at the factory. Also...

I remember there being a tread about LS shortcuts like holding down the unlock button so the moonroof and windows would lower, or holding your remote button when setting your seat. Do you have a complete list of all of the tricks?

Battery Problem I got up one day and my battery was completely dead on my 04 LS. I jumped it and haven't had a problem since. Since they're trunk mounted, they don't get the exposure and beating of a typical car battery. Did you already change it out??

Maintenance is minimal LS V8 Sport - New York I changed the front brakes and rotors at 59,000. I just changed the stock Michelin at 64,000 because my state inspection would not have passed me, but I probably could have gone another 5-10K safely. I've only had one lamp problem, rear...

Lemon Law I tell Ya Guys, I posted a few months ago about my lemon law claim. I'm still waiting for Ford to make a decision on this. They had me mount a Flight Recorder in the car and press a button everytime the car acted up. They tell me that three (3) of their top mechanics at three (3)...
