  1. Yes. I realized that you don't have a 4-point chassis lift at your disposal. I only posted that illustration to reiterate the factory lift points. Here's a video that has some general tips. You could probably get away with putting the jack, with the puck, a little further back on the pinch weld from the lift point. It sounds like someone already did this before you.
  2. These are the lift points as shown in the shop manual. Do not use any other points or components:
  3. Your question has been moved to a more appropriate section of the forums. The Site Feedback and Help section is intended for questions and comments about the operation of the website itself, not for anything related to the MKZ. WRT your question, you didn't specify, but since you have a Premiere, presumably, the engine is a 2.0T ICE. The purge valve is located under the intake pipe. See this video. It's a Fusion, but there's no difference for these purposes. Do you have a CEL?
  4. Is the headlight itself is still working? It could be a module or a wiring problem. A dealer, or independent shop with a proper scan tool, could pull a code, but of course, there'll be a diagnostic charge.
  5. Welcome to the MKZ Forum. Your question has been moved to an appropriate section of the forums. The Forum Help & Suggestions area in tended for questions and comments about the operation of the website itself, not for discussions about the MKZ. WRT your question, AFAIK, no portion of the headlight assembly is available as a separate part. What MY is your car? Mileage? Is it still covered under the 4/50 B2B warranty? Have you had this diagnosed by a dealer?
  6. Yup. Back in the day, a SA told my friend that his car pulling to the right was a safety feature; that if he fell asleep while driving, the car would go off the road instead of crossing into the incoming lane.
  7. I think your SA was incorrect. Ford stared using the BMS for the 2011MY. See here. This guy is a Ford tech.
  8. Brake maintenance mode is for service to the rear brakes only. It deactivates the EPB so that it doesn't accidentally engage and cause personal injury. Therefore, it wasn't necessary to do front brake service. There has to be another cause for your brake noise. Did you resurface the rotors and follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure?
  9. Not to mention that they'll try to upsell you on all sorts of stuff you don't need or want. The web abounds with JiffyLube, etc. horror stories. Here's just one site
  10. I agree with bbf2530 WRT JiffyLube, et al. and getting recommendations. I'd also check online reviews for local, independent shops.
  11. Sorry to see you go. Good luck and enjoy your new GC.
  12. It's on auto update, but I was not near any wi-fi source, if that's what you mean.
  13. This past Saturday, we went for breakfast. The radio was tuned to an SXM station on the way over. When I got back in the car and started it, the radio was on SXM channel 1. "Well, that's rather odd", I thought, and tried to change back to what I had on. Nothing doing. No response with steering wheel controls or touchscreen controls. I shut the car off and opened the door. The radio did not go off and remained on ch.1, but now there was no audio. After a few minutes of driving, I got the blue screen of death. After stopping for gas and restarting, it was now off. No response to Power button. When I got home, I let it sit for 30 minutes to give the system enough time to go to "sleep." I toyed with the idea of disconnecting the battery, but didn't feel like hassling with that. Upon restarting, everything was back to normal and has remained so since then. In this day and age, everything electronic seems to need the occasional reboot.?
  14. Especially a Diesel. Diesel fuel is around $6.50/gal here.
  15. Lincoln may be wavering on their decision to produce a sedan again. In the same vein, I read earlier this week that the record high gas prices are prompting some companies to reconsider their decisions to drop sedans. A scenario that some here predicted. Ford Authority
  16. Unfortunately, no. This is the first I'm hearing of 2013+ tail light failure on this forum. There are some used units available on eBay. Here's a salvage unit for $295. You can do a national search for parts online. There are numerous sources. A local auto parts recycler is another source.
  17. I have no interest in an SUV either. I would, possibly, consider a BEV, but not yet.
  18. Lincoln Star BEV concept revealed. Lincoln Media
  19. You actually got blasted on FB for this? Well, that reaffirms my decision to have nothing to do with FB.
  20. Lincoln will unveil a BEV concept on 4/20. I'm guessing it'll happen at the NY Auto Show, which resumes on 4/15 after a 2-year covid hiatus. https://media.lincoln.com/content/lincolnmedia/lna/us/en/news/2022/04/11/lincoln-to-debut-global--fully-electric-concept.html
  21. This post is closed for 2 reasons. First, it's a duplicate of the same topic that's posted in the Exterior subforum. Secondly, the DIY section is intended for members' illustrations of step-by-step instructions of various DIY projects. Per the header found on that page: Your post poses a question rather than any instructions.
  22. My 2020 has the same color interior. We love it. Awesome Mustang.? I love seeing daylight under the front wheels of a streetable car. What are your ΒΌ-mile times and speeds?
  23. No pop-ups here. Using Firefox with Ad-BLOCKER Ultimate add-on. Like bbf2530, I don't use my phone to access the site unless I'm away from home. In that instance, I use Chrome and don't get pop-ups. Does Apple have any ad blockers you can install? For a variety of reasons, I'm not a fan of Apple. For the record, the moderators have nothing to do with running the site. Hence, we can't "explain ourselves." However, I think it's common knowledge that websites don't run themselves for free.
