Well, technically, you can still get one as an accessory.?

Unless your next vehicle was going to be a CUV/SUV, you were going to say bye-bye Lincoln anyway. I am. No sedan=no sale. Ford/Lincoln customer since 1986.

Post moved by moderator. The Forum Help & Suggestions area is intended for questions and comments about the operation of the site itself, not for questions about the MKZ.

Maybe call the Lincoln Concierge and get a clarification.

You're welcome. I hope the info is correct. Try this:

I believe Ford has a customer satisfaction program (21B09) covering the upgrade. Labor is covered, parts are not. The 4G modem is $300+. This reminds me of when the original GM Onstar units became useless after analog networks were phased out.

Yes. The float/fuel level sensor is attached to the pump. See video. You're correct. It is located under the rear seat.

Thanks for the link. I wasn't familiar with that company. I guess it's warm enough where you live to stay within the recommended ambient temp range for application. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up.

Looking good. Machine or hand polish? Which ceramic coating did you use?

Are you asking about the coolant for the ICE or for the inverter system controller? I assume the latter based on the pics you posted. It holds only 1 qt. but it's the same coolant used in the ICE's cooling system. i.e. Ford spec. VC-3DIL-B.

That's like home prices now. I could sell my house in 1 day for an absurdly high amount, but then I'd need to buy something else at an equally absurd price.

You're welcome. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

Knowing these cars, it's probably not as simple as "fixing a simple light strip." If it's anything like the Fusion, and no doubt it is, the LED isn't sold separately. It comes with a harness. That's, of course, assuming the problem is the LED itself and not the wiring from the BCM. Fusion Door LED As bbf2530 says, it's best to visit a Ford/Lincoln parts department.

Welcome the MKZ Forum, Scott. Congratulations on your MKZ. I had a 2012 Sport. While the 1st-gen cars weren't available with a lot of the advanced features of the 2013+ cars, they still have a lot going for them. Search around here and on the Ford Fusion Forum for what others have done WRT exhaust. Just realize that it's never going to sound like a GM LS V8. Edit: bbf2530 got in just before me.

There's been reports of people paying over original MSRP for used Camrys.

Welcome and happy Thanksgiving!

Welcome! Enjoy your MKZ, and thanks for the tip.

No, it's not a sin. Just confusing and a waste of bandwidth. If it's valuable information, it should be in one place. These are the housekeeping rules around here. That's why there are moderators. The sarcasm is uncalled-for and unappreciated.

We now have 2 simultaneous threads for what is essentially the same topic. This is exactly why we don't allow multiple posts for the same thing. This thread will be locked and read-only going forward. Any further discussion should be held in the other thread posted in the 2013-2016 MKZ forum.

In answer to the question about programming a new module, yes, a new trunk module has to be programmed with "as built" data. Following are a couple of videos that should shed some light on the necessary procedures: -Diagnosing an inoperative power trunk -Programming a new power trunk module

I had to look up what a "Rice Krispies" tune was. Apparently, it's a riff on the famous "Snap, Crackle and Pop" tagline for the cereal of the same name. So you want a Lincoln that unleashes crackling, popping, and fireballs out the exhaust on the overrun? At the risk of sounding like an old fart, I think you bought the wrong car. This is more like Honda Civic stuff and out of character for a Lincoln, whose motto now is "quiet luxury." Lincoln engineers went to great lengths to make this car quiet. Something else to bear in mind: is one or both of your 4/50 B2B and 6/70 powertrain warranties in effect? If so, and you have a warranty claim for engine damage or exhaust system/catalytic converter damage from the "Rice Krispies" tune, you risk having said claim(s) denied. Any warranty claims for serious engine damage must now be first submitted to Ford with a download of the car's ECU programming history. They can, and will, look for aftermarket tunes in that history, and returning the stock tune won't hide that. Read your warranty guide:

Well, each GM division had its own separate and distinct line of engines, and the same basic block came in various sizes. This was further complicated by Buick which named their engines using their torque ratings instead of displacement. There was a Buick 355, but it was a 300C.I. Was that an engine swap? The 63 LeSabre came with a 401c.i. engine standard. Don't even get started with the endless iterations of the Chevrolet small block starting in 1955 and continuing to today, albeit completely evolved over the years.

I think you meant a 425 engine. Olds never made a 428. Pontiac did. The 425 later grew to 455.

That seems to be the way to go these days.

Very nice! What's powering this beast into the low 11s?
