Hi ahwinn and welcome to the Ford Fusion Forum. If you are referring to the moonroof electrical components only? Yes, you can drive the vehicle. Obviously just be sure it is closed in case of rain. Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Hi New2Lincoln14 and welcome to the Lincoln MKZ Forum. It could be any of many things. Worn brake pads, worn brakes in general, debris stuck on the pads, rust on the rotors, etc. etc. Brakes are nothing to play around with, so it would be best to have your Lincoln/Ford Dealer or an independent shop you trust take a look. Or perhaps have a car-knowledgeable friend take a look first. Let us know how you make out and good luck.

I need to remove the headliner to work on the standard sunroof. My question is can I drive the car with all of the electrical components unconnected?

I have a loud squeal happening from the front brakes ONLY when moving slowly in reverse, especially when turning the wheel, such as backing out of parking spots. Otherwise there's no sounds from the brakes and they work as they should. What could be the problem?

Hi gang. See the link below for the latest SYNC 3 NAV map update information, as listed on the Lincoln SYNC 3 NAV map update website: https://syncnavigation.com/lincoln/home SYNC 3 NAV map updates are normally released later in the calendar year, but it seems the next one will be available earlier. Good luck.

Any late MKZ owners ever had a problem with car lope in drive mode only, read could be fuel injector, MAF sensor, faulty wiring /spark plugs, runs fine in all other gears. Feedback is most definitely welcome!

My 2015 mkz 3.7l has 90k miles and threw the p0171 and p0174 code. After watching many videos I have begun the process of elimination. The long term fuel trims are +30. The short term fuel trims are in normal range. I've tested maf, fuel pressure, smoke tested for vacuum leaks, changed all four O2 sensors, air filter new, pcv valve, purge valve. I'm out of ideas. I have heard that if someone ran E85 fuel it could created a problem like this. I've added 3 bottles of injector cleaner to the last 4 or 5 tanks of gas. Any help would be appreciated. I'm stumped

Hi Brads600 and welcome to the Lincoln MKZ Forum. Most modern vehicles no longer utilize "windshield molding or trim". It gives the vehicle a more finished look (according to opinion, of course), and better aerodynamics also. Good luck.

Was Lincoln trying to save $7.00 per car by failing to provide a windshield molding or trim?

My 2015 Mkz is making a strange noise. When starting the car it makes a noise like something broke loose but then settles down. If I rev the motor upon releasing the throttle there is a loud whirring sound. Sounds like it is under the valve cover but hard to locate It idles fine it drives and accelerates fine| No DTC codes or check engine light I will try to use a recorder on my phone to post it.

I was thinking more like Ed Roth, but Barris probably would have liked it too. He owned quite a few Lincolns as personal cars over the years.

George Barris would be proud.☺️

And I managed to make something of the roadster. It's mostly AMT Phantom Vicky parts with a supercharged Lincoln 430 MEL engine.

I've actually never built one until now. Apparently the head of Revell at the time wanted to do a full detail kit of a factory stock VII but the bean counters shot him down. He compromised by convincing them to do a variation on an existing kit (the Matt and Debbie Hay Pro Street Thunderbird) and that's ultimately how we got what we got.

Cool! Looking forward to the Mark VII. It’s one of my all-time favorites.

One from a while back. AMT 1965 Continental with some 3D printed wheels and supercharged DOHC modular V8. I'm currently working on the Mark VII pro Street kit that's currently reissued.

Well done. No reason it won't keep going for twice that distance.

Been a while but... My 2010 is still packed away. My neighbor runs a body shop and he's asking about buying it as a loaner car. He might get it yet.🤣 My other neighbor has a 2017 MKZ with a 2.0 turbo and she's looking at something a little newer. Trouble is, her sister has a 2020 model with the same engine, and it's in the shop for an engine replacement. Granted, hers is under warranty but that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the 2.0 turbo. I do have the local dealer on the lookout for a 2017-2020 Continental, so far haven't heard from him yet. It's funny, last year they'd have at least a couple on the lot but now all they have are trucks and crossovers. I wouldn't object to a similar vintage MKZ, obviously, maybe without the 2.0, but driving the Townie these last few months has really reminded me how much I always liked the full size cars. What I'm saying is... I still haven't really made up my damned mind. 😂

Rear is easy, I put the jack under the spring of the rear control arm. My low profile floor jacks have polyurethane pads. I also have Steeda jacking rails for the front. Wish they extended further forward, but they do the job. Recently I picked up an Eastwood Detachable Car Ramp Set for oil changes and it works great for that!

I put these on my 2019 MKZ. https://www.steeda.com/Steeda-Fusion-Jacking-Rails-CD4 These allow me to use a floor jack at the center of the car where the front and rear doors meet and allow for jack stands to be placed at each end of the jacking rails. I can then jack up the other side of the car in the same manner and have the car supported by four jack stands making tire rotations and other maintenance jobs easy.

I ordered a couple of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078J55SBW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&th=1

Just came back from the dealers , they switched parts from the good headlight to bad to see if would be a less expensive part , it was not ; $ 2300 . This is a day after a snow storm up here in the Northeast , the sun is shinning , the air is fresh , it is a good day . Jim

TomV , Thank you for your response , yea I checked to see anything out of place ( not that I knew what to look for ) but all wiring looked connected in fact great shape . I bring it to the Dealer on Monday . The car runs so good I tend to think nothing could go wrong with it so I have to be happy that it is nothing mechanical , the best case scenario bop in a new headlight and drive away ( with a lighter wallet from what I read ) . Have a healthy and happy New Year . Jim

Entire headlight from what I keep reading... but maybe you can try some troubleshooting by examining the connectors and grounds.

2018 MKZh , the headlight works but the led light that outlines the headlight is not working , will the entire headlight have to be replaced ?
