Power window switch, driver side, and multi-function switch on steering column malfunctioning. Both have been repaired before but are again not responding.
Power window system for 2000 Lincoln Ls is defective. On or about August 2006, the power window system of the right passenger side became inoperable. Shortly thereafter, in November of 2006, the power window system of the left passenger side also became inoperable. Subsequently, I've learned that there are numerous complaints for this very same issue.
The contact owns a 2000 Lincoln Ls. The air bag warning light first began to blink, and it is now staying on all the time. The dealership told the contact that this was what the air bag warning light did. The problem with the light first began about one month ago. Updated 11/16/2005 - the right rear windoe would not come back up. The dealer had to replace the window regulator assembly because it had broken.
The driver side power window regulator continued to fail. As a result the owner was unable to roll the window up or down. The winder regulator was binding.

Rear power window regulator, with failure history known to dealer, failed just outside warranty period. Despite their prior knowledge of recurring problem with this model, they did not advise or recommend upgraded equipment/repair until unit failed. Also refused to replace left rear unit despite anticipated failure. Refused to provide copy of technical service bulletin in their possession.
Power windows drop down intrmittently. Dealer has replaced regulator for all 4 windows. Did not remedy the problem. Consumer states dealer will not replace until relay switch(s) have failed.
