I made a post in the Nautilus forum titled "How To Install a Device to Turn Off Auto Stop/Start Function in Lincoln Nautilus Forum / Lincoln MKX Forum."

For some reason it never posted and shows with a strike-out line through it.

What did I do wrong that it didn't post?

Thanks.

"Royal Palm Beach" - Nice!! I need to get back down to the "Leopard Lounge". Not a hop skip jump from Destin, but worth it!

Just sent a request via "contact us" for some help on my topic/post last night that is "awaiting approval". I'm stranded/stuck in my 97 Town Car in New Orleans and need the "experts" found here on LincolnForums!

Mucho Appreciate this outstanding resource and will be reviewing the various account types to offer my support!

Sincere Thanks, Respect Sir,

Thread '10 Amp Alternator/Regulator Fuse Melted - Welded in Fuse Block'

Yesterday at 4:42 AM

97 Lincoln Town Car.

I've checked for bad wires, shorts, etc & there everything appears OK. I had my alternator checked 2x. Alternator is bad. (Battery is new - 2 months old). I got new alternator & need to install it soon, as this Lincoln is the only car I have with me (out of town).


After extensive research, I think/hope the internal voltage regulator was the culprit. I sure hope so, as I am no mechanic & am "new" to doing/attempting my own repairs. Again, thanks to this forum and YouTube, etc. I feel pretty confident/comfortable swapping the alternator.

But I am quite worried and at...

The alternator on a modular engine family of that vintage is rather easy to replace.

Disconnect the battery + cable
Disconnect the wiring from the alternator
Move the belt tensioner and remove the belt. Note the configuration of the belt.
Remove two bolts that fasten the alternator. And remove the alternator

Reverse procedure to install
