Headlight Switch problems of the 2004 Ford Crown Victoria

The nead lights shut off while driving at night at 65 miles a hour stoped on the side of the hiway shut off the car played with the headlight switch the lights came back on but now they will not shut off so the battery must be diconected when not in use working on finding a repair shop t fix it.

2004 Ford crown vic headlights stopped working. I ordered and replaced the headlight switch and my headlights still don't work. I can't drive at night anymore. I have contacted Ford dealership about a recall and have not received a call back.

Tl the contact owns a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v861000 (exterior lighting) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the headlights failed to illuminate properly without warning. The contact manually adjusted the light switch and the headlights operated as intended. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The dashboard lights are not working. The fuse was good but I replaced it anyway. I also replaced the headlight switch.

I took the car into future Ford to replace the recalled headlight module. (I waited 7 months before the module was delivered. ) when they replaced the module they said the lights still wouldn't work. It took them 4 days to solve the problem and they then charged me $1,051. 56 including a car rental. I know the headlights would come on if you pulled the turn indicator switch since I tried that before delivering the car and my neighbor saw them turn on also.

I was at drive through teller when the automatic headlights, ac, instrument gauges, odometer, and speedometer failed at once. Initially the determination was it was the overdrive switch in the gearshift, apparently a wire was shorting out because it travels in an area where the insulation wears and shorts to metal. However, after having disconnected the overdrive and waiting for a replacement wiring harness, the automatic headlights have gone out along with the permanent high beams. It will turn on the lights if you use manual lights instead of automatic headlights. Also headlights go out on the interstate for no reason whatsoever. Returned to mechanic and I was advised that it needs a light control module and that the lcm is notorious for failures especially with headlights. Cost of replacing the lcm is exorbitantly high and no new parts are available through Ford as they quit making them. Cardone sells the lcm for several hundred dollars including core cost. Ford should nut up to this one. This is a dangerous product. People can get killed when their headlights suddenly go out at high speeds at night! trust me. Not all lanes on the interstate are lit. This is really a dangerous situation. I now Ford likes to count beans, but is it really worth risking human life and limb to save a few bucks?.
