We have been fortunate to have a good mechanic. The check DCL message has been a recent issue on our 1990 Lincoln Continental. We will see if what he did today works. He removed all the connections and cleaned them, hoping it is a contact situation. The message is gone, and I hope not to return.

We have had issues with the battery drain. After the battery replacement, the check DCL message started. Again, hoping he fixed it.

Oddly, it has had some power steering fluid leaks, but like someone said in a post a few years ago, no visible leaks.

Nice ride and nice car. We have had it for some time. I have not complained about the car to Ford, but if you do, post it. I have not heard about a class action suit, but there could be one. Post it if you find one concerning that also. I understand your Mom's attachment.

You're going to write Ford a letter complaining about faults on a 21-year old car?

Let us know how that turns out.
