| Description of the problem | Random problems with multiple electrical areas; approach lights not coming on, instrument cluster deprograming presets, interior lights, outside mirrors folding when programmed not to do so, interior rear view mirror markedly changing position, hud malfunctioning. Lincoln tells me that i am not driving it enough and the battery is going down. That then makes the computer to malfunction. The latest attempt to remedy this is the installation of a tricle charger. The connection to it hangs out a hole in the grill where i suspect it will beat my bumper to pieces. They now tell me that i must store the fob no less than 50 feet from the car so that the fob talking to the computer will run the battery down. |
