Basically, I suspect, its electrical.  Its either the round switch where you select the modes or it could be something in the wiring like a loose ground.  Its under warranty so take it the dealership, but I think its the round switch.  That will be m guess.

Hi Legacy. It is understandable to look for online help. However, since it is a brand new vehicle with a 4 year/50,000 mile New Vehicle Warranty, the best course of action would be to make a service appointment with your Lincoln Dealership, and not to try any self-help or DIY fixes you may find online. No "Master Resets" or battery disconnections etc. etc.

 

The reason for this is simple: If something is not working properly, there is usually a deeper cause which needs addressing. Unfortunately, many/most DIY fixes (i.e. system resets, battery disconnects etc.) will only temporarily "cure" the problem (if at all). Often just long enough for the warranty to expire. Then the vehicle owner will need to pay out of pocket for it to be repaired correctly.

 

Also, if you will need a Lincoln complementary loaner, let them know when you call, so they will reserve one for your scheduled appointment date.

 

Also, in the future you may want to post your questions in the Lincoln Navigator sub-forum, located further down the page, instead of here in the general "Lincoln Motor Company" sub-forum. In that way, you will get more attention from Navigator owners.

 

Let us know how you make out and good luck.
