I want to give an update regarding the oil leak. After I added the AT-205 Re-Seal Stop Leak, to date, there are no more leaks. I couldn't find details about its use, whether it needs to be added with every oil change or to be added just once and that's it, other than there was one posting where...

Thanks for the feedback. I always use Motorcraft 5W20 Synthetic Blend oil and Motorcraft oil filter (# 2021). The short crankcase vent tube and all other hoses look good. Sealing the fill tube to the valve cover didn't solve the oil drip problem, although it fixed the oil seeping around the...

The 2005 Lincoln LS V8 had a one time (so far) oil leak. Took the car for like a 30 mile round trip and parked it in the garage. Two days later, when my wife took it out to go shopping, I noticed an oil puddle on the floor and after she came back from shopping and parked the car, there were no...

Back in the days I bought a brand new 1974 Volvo 164; it had the inline 6 cylinder. After about 6 months of ownership, the car would loose rpm and die when coming to a stop after driving on the highway (55 mph) for about half hour. The engine would start right away but die; the only way to start...

Search in Car-Part.com. I found my turn signal switch at the best price available at Mills Auto Parts in Ft. Wayne, Indiana; Tel 260-493-1553. They had my year Lincoln LS and they pulled the switch from the car and shipped it to me. If that doesn't work maybe you can retrofit a similar switch...

Everything related to the wiper motor and arm assembly mentioned in my previous post looked good. I finally got around to remove the left side kick panel to expose the FEM. I loosened and re-tightened the one screw that holds the FEM against the car, checked that other ground connections were...

Thank you for the inputs. I searched the internet and found similar boots with bolt, height and bottom diameter dimensions. I need to take measurements of the ball joint to get the closest boots that will fit, unless some of you already know what the dimensions are and can pass them on to me.

2005 LS Ultimate: Can anyone tell me whether I can just buy and replace the front suspension upper arm ball joint (rubber) dust cover or do I need to replace the whole upper arm/ball joint assembly? I appreciate if you know of sources were I can get just the dust cover if that repair is possible.

Nothing mentioned about coils. My experience with my 2005 LS V8 is that when accelerating hard from cruising at 50-55 mph, the car will start jerking; that's my signal to have the coils checked and replaced even though there are no trouble codes.

There is a TSB about repair of the servo bores. My 2005 LS was done back in 2011 when it had 43,600 miles on it under the extended warranty I purchased. TSB 09-12-12, I tried to attach the file but looks like it is too large. You can search the TSB on the internet.

I performed an experiment today to simulate my wife's weight; I used a bag of soil to put on the seat and sat on it to start the car - no issues with the wipers, thus I concluded that the wiper issue is not related to weight. However, looks like my wife and I found a work-around for her. I...

Check Car-Part.com, enter year and model and under the "Select Part" drop down menu, select Column Switch. You'll get a list of salvage yards that carry the switch; you can also select the geographical area for where to search. I believe the P/N for the switch for the 2000 LS (first gen) is...

I checked the wiring under the seat, wiggled all the connectors and repositioned the seat for both, my wife and I, since we both had the seat height at the bottom of the travel. My wife went to get the car out of the garage, started it up with no issues, but right after putting the trans in...

The wipers will cycle a few times (about 2-10 times) and stop. Someone on the T'Bird forum did mention about an electrolytic capacitor "drying up", but I doubt that in the hot environment of an engine compartment they would put an electrolytic capacitor in the FEM, wiper motor or column switch...

Thanks for the reply joegr. I did that; I did drive the car with my wife's memory position for the steering wheel, side mirrors, etc., and I had no issues. And once I let my wife sit behind the wheel without changing anything or even turning off the engine, the wipers turn on. I also looked in...

Still having the wiper issue on my 2005 LS Ultimate. Thanks to AmsterDutch recommendation of searching through car-part.com, I found a replacement column switch module from another 2005 LS at Mills Auto Parts in Indiana - it looked like new (the module includes the turn signal, wiper switch...

Thank You.

LS year and model in my "signature" (2005 LS V8 Ultimate). I tried Rock Auto's website and they don't list it. Hopefully its is something with the wiring rather than the switch itself.

Intermittently, when the car is first started, the windshield wipers turn on even though the switch is set to off. After cycling the wiper switch the wipers will turn off. The extended warranty is ending this month and the dealer will be replacing the driver's rear lower suspension arm (noisy...
