weird issue scanner danner or anyone who can help id apprciate it i need help i have a 1996 Lincoln continental that had the tranny rebuilt by aamcco when i got the car back now with the key on im NOT getting a check engine light even tho its cranks the engine does not start up do you guys have any idea whats this may be
You said you just got the car back from the trans shop. Did the car run when you got it back? I assume it ran when you took it in. There may be some issues with the wiring harness as a result of the recent work. If this is the case you may want to contact the trans shop.
HI you stated that the cranks but no start, and the mill light is off.
The first thing I would do is plug in a scanner or coed reader with no built in power in the reader thus the cars computer will power the read /scanner. If the caner/reader powers up we know that the ECM is probably good, I assume you checked the fuses thus far.
Now I would check to see if the transmission shop removed any ground straps if so replace them. If that does not work start with the basics, crank the engine and add brake fluid to the intake, if it fires you know is fuel if not go on to the ignition check spark.

You're referring to fuses in the instrument panel fuse box, correct? Fuses 6 and 18 show up on the power distribution diagram, but don't have a common source that'd account for a lack of power. Fuse 6 is switched power, but fuse 18 is hot at all times. Couldn't find fuse 12.
Both fuses 6 and 18 have to do with interior lighting and the instrument panel, which would definitely account for an inoperative bulb. Any other systems not working correctly?

That should get you started , no pun….

I'm not picking on you, I agree with your advice up until the brake fluid. I'm sure you meant brake cleaner, but didn't want anyone with less experience to read this and maybe it a go with brake fluid!
