And, IMO those experiencing such a failure are in a very tiny minority. Also, I have confidence in my warranty & trusty dealer to repair/replace any failure should it occur. The primary reasons for frequent use are that I store a permitted concealed weapon there along with a special microfiber cloth in the glove box for wiping fingerprints (not tolerable) off the center stack console and the wife accesses her gloves and other necessary items for use throughout the day. I truly hope that the issue is rapidly & permanently fixed for you. I can understand what a nuisance the issue would be if continuing. Consider buying the Console Vault for your firearm. Much safer from theft than the glovebox. Lincoln matched the manufactures price and easy to install. https://www.consolevault.com/console-vault.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI18OK7u-46gIVmv_jBx21ZwA_EAAYASAAEgIdHvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolnski Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Comedy of errors today. I was changing the cabin filter and removed the traction wire on the right side of the box, removed the electrical connector and it's securing device from the glove box itself so no wiring would be pulled while the glove box dangled. Yeah, all the greatest intentions. While removing the left side screw for the cabin filter cover the screw fell into the depths of, God only knows. I'm sure I'll get to listen to this wayward screw rattle along down the highway in the near future. While moving the dangling glove box up and down quite quickly (trying to find said wayward screw), I was a bit over zealous and the glove box slapped shut. Yeah, I just sat there and looked at the closed glove box. I knew I had to try the glove box button, even though I knew I had already disconnected the connector from the actuator. Time to google "how to open glove box 2016 Lincoln MKX". Many vids out there explaining how to "push the button" to open the glove box. Even ended up here wondering why I was reading some older gents argue about over engineering, BMW's, Cads and trunk lid switches with NO info how to open the glove box MANUALLY. Here is the info, with the passenger door open, remove the end cap (triangle shape) from the side of the glove box. There is a nice square hole that one can stick a pencil, screwdriver or whatever utensil you chose to push the locking dawgs for the latch in. I noticed it worked slightly better when I pushed in on the glove box door. Here is a website that has a diagram. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/977518/Lincoln-2016-Mkx.html?page=168 Everything is back together, working perfectly and my wife is satisfied with the fact that her cabin air filter is new, I'm glad I only spent $15 rather than $75 to make her satisfied. .

Cosmos36 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 'ski...you must be one of the very few DIY owners on this forum. Good on ya. While reading the first 11 words of your third paragraph, I thought to myself, Uh-Oh, don't lose that screw. Fortunately, I didn't, but I certainly imagined that scenario occurring as I replaced my filter. Regressing to my DIY observation, I recently was tempted to post a forum note regarding the long-awaited availability of new GF-6 ILSAC SP motor oils and a few observations about the improved lubrication and other benefits (e.g. reduced timing chain stretch & reduction of LSPI, etc.). But, I would imagine that there are very few MKX-Nautilus owners that change their vehicle's oil and would be interested.

If anyone makes the same mistake as I did, hopefully they can get the info to correct their mistake, quickly. I made it a point to keep a tight hold on the screws, that left side screw was intent on escape, I'm sure of it. I agree with you, I'm sure your post about oil and it's properties will descend into brand loyalties and high mileage trophies for said brands. .

All she knows is it smells pretty (got the Febreze one) and she is getting more air volume from the vents. Yep, $15 and she's smiling!!

A 111 page oil thread, SO typical. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
