first things first if you had your car on a lift for service the mech will turnoff your fuel supply which is located in the truck a white button press that to turn it on if that not the problem go to a lincoln dealer and tell them the problem [mech]usaually they will help you because i have one too and that what i do. i have replace many parts with there help so i don't want you to go in the wrong direction on this one then buy the part and have your local garage put it on .[ps don;t buy the dealer part there very pricey.GOOD LUCK
