Dash lights and headlights on when driving down road on dark night, then dash lights went out - couldn't see speedometer or gear indicator. then headlights went out, but dash lights came back on. this happened several times while driving the 25 miles home. tried looking under the hood and making sure all connections were good, they seemed to be. in case something got wet in the rain i waited several days to try again, then tried it today - the same things happened on the street near my home.

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 ford crown victoria. the contact stated that the headlights were faulty and the turn signals did not work. as a result, the contact could not drive the vehicle at night. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to lb smith ford (1100 market street, lemoyne, pa 17043-1423, 717-761-7600), but was not diagnosed or repaired due to the vehicle's age. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 200,000.
Random loss of park lamps while driving increasing rear-end collision risk. headlights are operative and working. headlight recall was performed by ramey ford. 15s39. i paid labor costs and has been diagnosed by ford as the lighting control module being the problem. ford will replace the module at no cost only if it affects headlight function. after further contacting ford relations help line, fmc does not seem to care about the matter of the solder joints cracking for park lamps. i have had multiple traffic stops over this matter all verble due to me kicking the lighting control module temporarily correcting the issue. dash lights illuminate, thinking park lights are working when they are not. i have attached a photo of the problem.
Loss of park lamps while driving/parked not knowing it. when the issue occurs the vehicle looks to have driving running lights type operation when it did not come with that option. my dash stays illuminated. kicking the lighting control module located under the dash (above right foot) can make the lights come on for a time frame that varies by temp around the unit. season cold/hot climate does affect how it performs (ac/heat does play a role). i have no tail lights when the problem occurs. i have had the headlight recall performed (similar issue) that states the headlights may go out driving and the lcm would be replaced free of charge. i have paid a diagnostic fee at ramey ford for a verdict of a faulty lcm. i have spoken to ford relations over the phone about the matter and got nowhere and still have to foot the diagnostic fee. to me it sounds like ford knows they fail but will not cover it unless its headlight operation. my vehicle is a safety concern at night to others. feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
