Can you reset your LS’s malfunction warning light at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your LS, but it's important to resist the urge.

All About 2000 Lincoln LS Drivetrain Service

Your LS’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Lincoln, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your LS and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2000 Lincoln LS to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Lincoln's recommendations.

When to Get Lincoln LS Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2000 Lincoln LS drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your LS might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Lincoln LS doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2000 Lincoln LS drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
