EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. PARKING LIGHTS STAYED ON AND FLASHERS WORKED ALLOWING TO GET THE CAR TO THE BREAK DOWN LINE. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 8-10 TIMES SINCE THE FIRST. IN CHECKING FOR A FIX, I FOUND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPANIES OFFERING A REPAIR SOLUTION AND THIS LOOKS LIKE A COMMON AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT OCCURS OFTEN. I NOTICED THIS HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED BEFORE BUT NOTHING DONE. HAVING YOUR HEADLIGHTS GO OUT SEEMS DANGEROUS ENOUGH TO ME. THE REPAIR PART TO DO IT YOURSELF IS SOLD FOR ABOUT $10. $125 + TO PURCHASE A REPAIRED LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE. MY FORD DEALER WILL REPLACE THE LCM FOR $650. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE LIGHTS GO OUT ON THE MERCURY MARQUIS. IT IS INTERMITTENT. SOMETIMES, THEY WILL GO BACK ON. I HAVE TO HOLD THE HIGH BEAM TO GET HOME. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND STOP TRYING TO SLIDE OVER THE ISSUE. *TR
