I brought this vehicle into the dealership for safety recall 15s39. There were no problems with the vehicle prior to taking it in. When I received the vehicle back from the dealer they had admitted to not completing all the steps in the safety recall. Now that I have the vehicle the dealer returned it to me with the following issues: all of the interior and exterior lighting including the headlights do not work and the air bag light is illuminated. A supervisor at Ford customer service said they refuse to do anything about the new problems they caused. She stated that "well, it's a pretty old car. " I don't think the age of the car should give Ford a pass to not fix a safety recall. The fix for their safety recall only created safety problems with this car - namely the air bags may not work.

My 99 Ford Crown Victoria lx has front end issues. I have had to replace the ball joints about 4 times every 2 to 3 months because the front end keeps dropping. I'm not sure if you guys know about this but I've spoken with our local Ford mechanic and a few friends who have Crown Victoria's as well and said that it has been a big issue with them along with the electrical components for the turn signals.

Safety recall 19s35b processor lighting cont was done on 3/22/2021on my working part. The original module was working fine. Now the new light module is faulty. Dealership took out part and tested it. Determined that is was faulty causing my lights to fail. Dealership and Ford has denied covering a replacement of the failed part. It would seem that the part should be still covered since it is a part that was part of a recall.

My headlights don't work until ever now & then the only one that work is the running lights 🤨 I was told that it was a recall on the headlight control module but it wasn't on my vehicle 🤦🏾‍♀️ I just don't understand cause I having problems wit my 3003 like other ppl 🤷🏾‍♀️.

My headlights goes off while I'm driving and clicks off and clicks back on and sometimes when I turned on my signal switch on they will click back on or click off or I just have to wait for them to come back on but I can hear when it clicks and my headlights comes back on.

I have a 2004 Crown Victoria. Ford has a recall out for 2003-2005 grand marquis and Crown Victoria's for their light control module (lcm) because of solders breaking causing exterior lighting not to work. I took my car to my local Ford dealership (April 22, 2017) to have such recall done because my exterior running lights were not working. (parking lights front and running lights rear) I also advise the dealership of this. Which is documented on the receipt I have kept. Ford doesn't replace the actual lcm, all they do is install a "bypass harness" to bypass the issue which does not fix the problem. I left the dealership with the same lights still not in working condition. Again, stated on receipt. The problem fixed itself and I assumed it went away. Now it's back but even worse. Again my exterior lights are not working, parking and rear running lights, and now my interior instrument cluster lights are not working as well. Ford knows about this issue. Ford refuses to replace the faulty lcms in these cars. I know of several other people with the exact same issue I'm having who have called Ford and complained. This is a huge safety issue because there are no rear running lights at night, period. When it's parked, on roadways, highways, etc. No one can see me at night from the rear. . And the dash lights are not on. I can provide whatever needed to help because this needs to be addressed ASAP. I'll call tomorrow if I haven't heard back before.

Lighting control module (lcm) failed, resulting in a loss of headlights.

The vehicle was parked, locked and unattended in a parking lot. Surveillance video shows flashes coming from underneath the hood fairly centrally located where it hinges with the vehicle. The flashes begin slow, then resume more intensely before the vehicle catches fire. The fire consumes all rubber/plastics in the engine compartment and continues to the passenger compartment.

1997 Ford Crown Victoria. Vehicle has had repairs done in the past and still receives same problems due to recall. The consumer stated the vehicle intermittently shut down. A diagnose revealed a problem with the lighting control module. Once it was replaced, the consumer did not experience any more problems until the summer 2014 when the same problem recurred. Again, the lighting control module was replaced.

I turned on the head lights applied the bright lights and lights went off. The next day the engine indicator went on after purchasing gas. Five days later I purchased gas and the low fuel light indicator came on and the gage showed empty after fueling the vehicle up.

Recent article in paper indicates that high humidity states, such as florida could have a air bag problem on several models and makes of automobiles, affecting the deployment of air bags. Please advise.

While driving home from a wedding reception at 10:00 pm lights suddenly went out . Pulled over to side of road and tried all modes of lights operation (automatic, parking and regular lighting mode). Trying dims and high beams both. Finally got lights to work if I held dimmer switch in pulled position untill reaching home. Looking on internt found out that this is an ongoing problem with crown vics. Failure in lighting control moduel. Still need some sort of repair.

Parking lights come on sometimes when the light switch is turned on. Headlights work fine, including brights. Parking light switch setting controls all other lights. I was told by my mechanic that the lighting control module was to fault. When the other lights (includes tail lights, tag light, front parking and side lights) don't come on, it presents an opportunity for a moving violation on the road at night. Obviously, this prevents my driving at night. The law here states that you get a ticket for an unsafe vehicle, you cannot drive the car home, the car is put in impound until you can move it to repair it. Quite a costly experience I would imagine. This was a previous police interceptor. How did they get away with it? there needs to be a recall on this lighting control module.

The headlights stopped working at night time.

Tl-the contact owns a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria LS. The contact stated that while trying to accelerate the vehicle the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the tires, tie rods, ball joints, brakes, and battery were replaced, however, the failure kept recurring. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on another occasion and the vehicle was diagnosed with an unknown electric failure that was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 200,000. Kr.

*brake light switch replaced every few thousand miles, resulting gear shift to be stuck in park. *cruise control disabled.

Lights failed when driving down dark freeway, nearly drove off road, stopped car, heard click and lights came back on, but a few minutes later, went off again. As I drive down the road I hear a click and then they come back on, but more minutes they go off again, continual intermittent on/off. This occurs when the lights are in headlamp setting, or autolamp control, lights don't work when in this condition in high beams. Fortunately they are working when held toward steering wheel in flash-to-pass, so have been holding the lights on this way for months. From what I've read, this is an ongoing continual problem with this vehicle. I'm surprised there have been no reports of accidents or death, but it's a hard issue to identify as it's inconsistent, and if someone was reported as 'loosing control of their vehicle', it could be loss of lights causing them to run off the road. Read how to do a quick resolution by kicking the lcm under the dash, which sometimes does cause the lights to come back on. Also, have seen a youtube video from a mechanic that shows how to solder on new relays to the computer panel, which fixes the issue for $15. 00, which I've considered doing myself as a replacement unit is upwards of $400. 00. This needs to be a recall issue!!!.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the electrical wire harness to the visor failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,000.
