R2D2

If this is the original battery, it is about 5 years old. It just may be time for a new one.

Thanks Robert, BTW I am still showing a PM to you concerning another issue from back on Jan 24 that is indicate was never read, had to do the MKZ club membership

This car should still be under the drive-train warranty, have you had a dealer look at the issue?

HoitRodLinc, Being in Florida also, I have not seen my rates increase beyond normal COLI. My wife and I have both nice recent year vehicles including full coverage and our rates have been steady over the last 5-8 years. I am in North Central Fl and have no explanation of why you are seeing otherwise

Or just get a vanity plate for the front

Any info out there on the hybrid release date for the Corsair... desperately need to get back into an SUV and desire a hybrid.

Sorry but I cannot imagine not having the AC on 365 days a year, but then again we live in FL and find that we need it. ?

I have an android phone and have found it to lose the reading of messages once in a while. To get it to work I completely remove the Bluetooth info in the phone and in the car. Shut down power to both and then restart and repair it. There are a couple of questions asked just after the repair starts of which one is about the MKZ allowing message access. This must be answered "always" for it to continue to work. There was a previous thread on this.....

Well howdy from Florida, you are going to love this car, post a picture when you get a chance?

Dielectric grease is not a conductor and therefore will not improve continuity but if your connections are tight it should not block current. I am a retired (41 years) communications and electrical specialist. I still keep a tube of it in my bag when I would work on all outdoor connection that are subject to damp conditions. If you want the proper grease for your purpose, use a No-Ox-ID or NOALOX grease. It does help improve conductivity and prevents oxidation and chemical reactions between dissimilar metal (i.e. copper and aluminum connections). You can find is in any of the home improvement stores, auto parts or an electrical supply company, a small bottle or tube goes a long way

Did we ever figure out who is running the show here? My message to Robert Lane has still never been read.

I only mentioned it as I saw it in the manual I gave a link to.

I'm not familiar with the 2010 so I tried looking up the owners manual on the Lincoln site but being that it would not respond I went here https://www.manualslib.com/manual/94831/Lincoln-2010-Mkz.html?page=54#manual Looking at pages 53 & 54 it talks about the proper position of the headlamp switch for various functions. In your describing of the symptom, it almost sounds you are activating the DRLs rather then the Autolamp function Just a thought

Sadly, no information as to specs or when the hybrid version will come out but I do like the styling

No but I would be interested in your review of it.

My car also has ACC and have noticed it detecting a car slowing down (to make a right turn or whatever) and have felt the automatic braking applied, especially if the distance between us is narrowing.. I don't really consider it a fault, just a reminder that I am a little too close. ?

Now I know what happened, the cats saw the dobermans and pressed the 'R" to reverse out.?

Yes, you are right, I missed it. but still far our and not sure if pricing will fit with what I am trying to do here.

?.... that's great I don't know what happened officer, my cat was driving ?

I didn't see the Corsair listed on that build out sheet. too far out.... I need this now or in the next few months, Can't even find any build/pricing info on the Corsair online to even see if I want to wait that long. Checking out the 2019 Toyota hybrid RAV4 hopefully this week.

Seriously need an small SUV or a crossover but after the MKZh I definitely want another hybrid.... Don't know if I can wait until 2020 for the Lincoln version

Can't say I have even though I went through my own seat issues

Sounds like reboot of the system would be the first step. You may want to try disconnecting your battery and see if it clears the problem after reconnecting.

Howdy, Pull up a stool and stay for a while. ?
