The only sensor I am aware of that is above the a/c compressor on that side of the motor is the camshaft sensor located just above the compressor in the cylinder head. It has an O-ring that can leak oil...
Typically, when the Check Engine Light (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/check-engine-light-is-on-inspection) is illuminated and it is flashing, this is an indication that the vehicle's engine is misfiring. This would also explain the symptoms on your 2007 Lincoln MKZ. If the engine has a misfire,...
Hi Donald. Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, we typically don't look up parts by VIN number to supply you with a part number, as this is something that needs to be done by a dealership. I've forwarded your inquiry to...
The brake rotors can get a lot of rust on them from water and road salts that can make the brakes noisey when not pressing the brakes. You can replace the pads and rotors to get rid of the noise...
Hi there. It is common for 2006 to 2010 Ford / Lincoln transmissions to have problems with the TSS and OSS harnesses. It's attached to the side of the transmission and is very difficult to get to without removing multiple...

The glass may be adjustable on the track, there may be a calibration routine in the Factory Service Manual, and there may be lubrication possibilities which could restore range of motion. Those are the simple fixes. If none work, that...
Hi there. From what I am aware of, there isn't a bank 4 sensor 4 on this vehicle or other Ford products. There are four total O2 sensors, (two upstream and two downstream), so the code you are getting might...
