Here are some steps you can take to fix a ride alert in a 1996 Lincoln Continental:
1. Check the tire pressure. If the tire pressure is too low, it can cause the ride alert light to come on. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure, which can be found on the sidewall of the tire.
2. Inspect the suspension. The suspension system in a 1996 Lincoln Continental consists of a number of components, including shocks, struts, springs, and control arms. If any of these components are damaged or worn out, it can cause the ride alert light to come on. Have the suspension system inspected by a qualified mechanic.
3. Check the alignment. If the vehicle's alignment is out of specification, it can cause the ride alert light to come on. Have the vehicle's alignment checked by a qualified mechanic.
4. Replace the ride alert sensor. If the ride alert sensor is damaged or faulty, it can cause the ride alert light to come on. The ride alert sensor is located on the rear axle of the vehicle. It is a small, black sensor with a wire connector. To replace the ride alert sensor, disconnect the wire connector and unscrew the sensor from the axle. Install the new ride alert sensor by screwing it into the axle and reconnecting the wire connector.
If the ride alert light is still on after you have taken these steps, it is important to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic. There may be another underlying issue that is causing the light to come on.
