Stock is a molded sponge rubber piece that fits the inside lip of the trunk so a watertight seal is formed when the trunk is closed. As far as I can tell this molded rubber part is currently (2021) unavailable from Ford/Lincoln. Have you found a source for the seal? What have you done to...

The foam rubber trunk seal got nicked loading an outboard motor. Now it's torn and leaks at the tear. Have you found a molded OEM replacement? Where? Has anyone had luck with using a length of generic foam rubber seal?

Thanks joegr for the tip about the aluminum Thermostat housing. Thanks Gary for recounting that the OBDlink MX ELM-327 compliant link works with his phone. More once I've had a chance to gather information.

Yeah Gary, that's what's happening -- down to the one-off, kinda random, chimes. With the advent of composite skins & structures, electronic ground planes are a design challenge for aircraft control systems. I imagine with the increased use of plastics the Ford engineers wrestled with the same...

Your comments, grisslyls, build nicely on joegr's. Thanks for extending the diagnostic road map (and I'd welcome any iPod compatible WiFi OBD2 adapters & software -- there's an awful lot of generic ELM-327 adapters floating around.) One question though. To what does the suggestion to "...make...

Interesting and useful observations, thanks. Indeed the failures are roughly 6 years apart. All were repaired by Lincoln dealers. Presumably both the quality and number of parts replaced were appropriate. At this point, however, the sole remaining dealers in this area are the ones with...

This has been a chronic condition for our V8 2001 LS. The engine temperature gauge will swing up to full scale. But, turn off the ignition for a few seconds at a traffic light and as likely as not the gauge will drop to normal for the rest of the trip. I've sort of ruled out a wiring problem...

Found Replacement Lug Nuts, But... Well, the calipers say the ezaccessory nuts are identical and they pass the ol' eyeball test. The nut to wrench fit is just as wonky as the originals. So I have to conclude that these are indeed the same as the original lug nuts. That said, I'd like to...

Potential OEM replacement I too had to cut the covering from the original lugs to get a wrench on. A small sharp cold chisel makes short work of removing the soft cover revealing a good steel bolt. Somebody suggested Summit Racing's SUM-754001B as a replacement. They do not fit the 2000 LS...
