Re: 1965 Continental courtesy lights stuck on

I had this issue when I bought mine...those lights have a (large) push button right next to them...they're not super obvious but you'll hate yourself once you realize where they are.

Re: 65 lincoln threaded ignition switch

I have a '64 that has this damn switch. Spent hours at the parts store trying to find one.

Re: HELP! Car won't shut off...even after disconnecting the

Think I have figured it out...replaced with a second starter solenoid. Stupid car! If the problem returns...so shall I. Thanks for everyone piping in.

Re: HELP! Car won't shut off...even after disconnecting the

Could it be the pigtail wiring that connects to the ignition switch (I know anything is possible...but, has anyone knowledge of this happening?)

Re: HELP! Car won't shut off...even after disconnecting the

So today...car still wants to start on it's own. Changed the starter solenoid, starter AND the ignition switch. I'm completely baffled. Anyone have any thoughts? Could something be grounding out somewhere? I've also changed the wiring from the solenoid to the starter. I know there is a cable from th...

Re: HELP! Car won't shut off...even after disconnecting the

Upon replacing the solenoid and starter...and then having the problem happen again, it's also my determination the the ignition switch is to blame. It's replacement should arrive tomorrow. Stupid car.

Re: HELP! Car won't shut off...even after disconnecting the

I have a 340 amp alternator. Everything seems to be working fine today. Still having a bit of hard starting when hot, but I ordered a heavy duty starter solenoid which might help that. Who knows.

HELP! Car won't shut off...even after disconnecting the bat.

Ok, so I've had some gremlins lately. About six months ago, I went to a cruise night and everything was perfect until I went to leave. Started the car and the starter motor continued to spin. This went on until it blew the main fuse. Towed the car home and about six months later, I'm getting it squa...

Re: Tons of Lincoln's!!!!!!!! Please read

I originally restored the car back to stock. We inherited another classic car (1967 Chevelle), so I got the go ahead to do a bit of custom work. Obvious update is the paint, but what you don't see is the RideTech front and Mobsteel rear setup with Accuair controllers, 22" US Wheels, Toyo Tires,...
