New Lincoln Owner, New to the Board

[Phazer1000]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce my self as the proud owner of a 2002 Lincoln LS. I have been viewing this board for about a week now for research in my new purchase and have finally decided to sign up. It looks like a great place and the technical information has been a real help. I am a MECP certified installer (car audio), so I am more then willing to help out on any electronics questions anyone may have. Here are a few pictures of the new LS.

Hello Phaser,

Wow, you could be the guy with the answer. I just bought an '05 LS with the Audiophile 6-Disk changer (12 speakers/180 watts). Do you know if the door speakers are 2 ohm or 4 ohm?

Thank you,
Ed

Just disconnect the harness and put an ohmmeter on one.

Thanks for all the "Thanks" guys!! As far as the ohm load it should be 4 ohm, usually its Bose who gets wacky and does the 2 ohm speakers. You won't be able to meter it out at the deck because of the amp attached go directly to the speaker, but they are probably 4 ohm.

I have noticed that when I turn on my A/C that I hear a ticking noise coming from my drivers wheel well. Anyone have this ticking? I thought it may be coming from the compressor as it is directly related to the on/off of the a/c, didn't know if this was a normal thing with Lincolns. Just to be safe i am taking it back to the dealer on wed. to have it looked at.

Is it when you turn on the AC or the ventilated seats. The ventilated seat motors I find to be noisy and make a ticking noise.

Hummmmmm..... I have heated seats, not sure I have ventilated seats. It is for sure the A/C, I just checked it.. A/C on - ticking, A/C off - no ticking..... I guess i will see what the dealer says. (he better say its free, hahaha)
