after lots of bullshit testing, it was the lcm, whenever the lights go out i just bang on the unit under the dash. it usually stays on till restart. but to fix it u pull it out of its little(cage) and a couple screws, then open it up, it will be one of the little black sealed boxes on the circuit board. all 3 are grouped together, there are little contacts inside of them, u can de-soldier the black boxes off the board or use a hot wire or knive or a dremel real carefully and get that basterd apart. clean the contacts and good to go.. or just find another LCM unit and plug/unplug and change it..
lights on my 2004 crown victoria keep going off and on when driving this is a big problem with this cars ford knows about this problem they need to recall this because their are many complaints about this problem The lcm is the problem with the lighting situation this very dangerous for the driver as well as the public people lives are at stake ford drop the ball on this one they need to man up on this problem and issue a recall that is the lest they can do
Spoke to Ford dealer - knew exactly what problem is - non-repairable headlight relay is problem - cost estimate about $750 needs new module - said problem common...very dangerous as happens when driving!!!!!!!!
the lights go out when driving,this car has been a royal pain in the ass since day one.when i bought the car as a NEW DEMO the car was in an accident while owned by THE LOMAN FORD PARSIPPANY N.J.there was over $10,000 in damages and i was not told of the severity of the damage.they told me because it is a demo it had some scratches and a few dings that they repaired at THEIR BODY SHOP they don't have a body shop.i called KIMMEL AND SILVERMAN lawyer's for the lemon law people.they left me with a bad taste in my mouth because they were worried about their money's and not what i went through.the loman dealership post phoned the case 6 times in 19 mos.this was my only car so i was told to use it.well the rear wheel adjustment was out 67 degrees and there was no tolerance or adjustment on a FIXED OR STATIONERY REAR there is no adjustment i went through 14 rear tires in under 3 years.when i finally got to a meadiator on the case he said his ruling is final we went through the procedure and he said because of the miles on the car i had ample use of it and they gave me $5000.00 and said i can keep the car.BIG FREEKIN DEAL.FORD KNEW THE FRAME WAS BENT AND POST PHONED THE CASE SO I WOULD GO OVER MY Warranty COVERAGE AND I GOT SCREWED
