ON JULY 10 MY WIFE AND GRAND SON WERE RETURNING TO OUR FLORIDA HOME FROM AN AMUSEMENT PARK ABOUT AN HOURS RIDE WHEN THE HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT ON MY 03 FORD CROWN VIC. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND AFTER 30 MINUTES TRYING DIFFERENT IDEAS THE LIGHT DID COME ON AND SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME FORTUNATELY WITH THE LIGHTS STAYING ON, IT WAS A NERVE RACKING EXPERIENCE FOR THEM. SINCE THEN IT HAS DONE IT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DURING THE DAY AS I RUN WITH MY LIGHTS ON DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT IT IS THE LCM UNIT(LIGHT CONTROL MODULE) THAT CONTROLS THE LIGHTS IN THIS 03 CROWN VIC AND THE 04,05 MODELS. I KNOW THAT YOU HAD AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS RECURRING PROBLEM AND CLOSED IT WHEN YOU DID NOT WARRANT A RECALL EVEN AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS, SOME OF THEM VERY SCARY ON DARK BACK ROADS. I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT HAPPEN TO YOU TO KNOW WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE A HIGHWAY DEATH TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM LOOK AT IN A PROPER MANNER? I JUST CAN BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS RECALL ITEM. JUST TRY SHUTTING YOUR LIGHT OFF ON A NARROW BACK ROAD AT 30 MPH TO JUST GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IT ALL ABOUT, YOU WILL BE PUTTING THEM BACK ON REAL QUICK, NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN DO WHEN THE LCM FAILS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME READING MY E-MAIL. *TR
