Installing a Kenwood stereo with factory amplifier

Lincoln Town Car 2003  96000 miles
Install wiring from Kenwood radio on Town car 2006 Cartier with Alpine system to power amplifier in the trunk which I believe needs to be reduced to 5 volts, using original factory speakers. Need specific wire colors and location, please.

The best fix for your suspension is to replace it with regular suspension. The air is expensive and a pain to maintain. Once you switch over, no more suspension problems...forever...
Guscars from United States 21 days ago
Check the fuse and test for power at the connections you made to make the compressor operate.No compressor, no air bags get inflated. Also, test the level control that limits the rise at the center of the rear axle. It has a lever to actuate it. Guscars.

The wires are completely broken off the motor on the window assembly
Guscars from United States 21 days ago
No. It's always easier to test and repair those windows mechanisms than find a new door with a mechanism that works, maybe for a short time, remove both doors, install the new one and paint to match. Makes no sense to go through all that, for the cost of a motor or a new mechanism with guarantees.

Might be the blend door actuator. That's What opens or closes the floor, defrost or cabin air flow inside the cabin. Search and Read online about how to determine the reason for your problem.

Running lights and tail lights don’t work

Lincoln Town Car 1999 Lincoln Town Car 163000 miles
Hello all, my 99 Lincoln town car, the headlights, turn signals, hazards, and brake lights all work. However car when I put on the headlights, no tail lights come on. When I put the switch to running light position I get no running lights on in the front or rear. Any thoughts on what my issue could be?

In the trunk, the inertia switch which cuts power to the fuel pump has 2 wires. Red is the 12v. , so cut it and add a wire to each end of your cut. Bring those 2 new wires and add a toggle switch at those ends to interrupt power on the Red wire and hide it somewhere you can reach inside the cabin. Guscars

Right turn signal fast blinking

My right turn signal started blinking quite fast. I thought I had a bulb burnt out but they both work. What else may be causing this?

JRA86 from United States 8 months ago
Tip: Because these are LEDs, your car might "hyper-flash" (blink very fast) because it thinks a bulb is out. You may need to install a load resistor or a compatible LED flasher relay to fix this.
Greg from United States 8 months ago
Thank you for the reply but bulbs are not LED.
