When driving on the interstate at 75 mph the exterior lights as well as the dash lights shut off. They then came back on after about a minute and a half. The lights intermittently shut off and come back on at random. I can be on the interstate or on a city street. I can be going forward or backwards when this happens. This is a huge safety issue.

Lighting control module is under Ford factory recall ! since 08/2014 I have many instances were it gets hot and shuts the headlites off. I have contacted power Ford in person when this first occurred. I have contacted Ford recall numerous times. I made contact with a person named t j @ Ford recall. Phone # 866-631-3788 ext #77751. He contacted a service mgr named larry @ power Ford and sent him a e-mail to aurthorize after market parts to resolve this safety issue. I believe that was app in oct/2014 . I have contacted t j @ Ford again. To get the same results! I drive early in the am. And return in pm! this is in the dark! this is impacting my safety as well as others. This has been going on for 5 months. When the lcm gets hot my headlites shut off. When this happens I must shut vehicle off for 3/4 to 1 hour. I have also had to drive while holding the bright lites on manually, while finding a safe place to pull off! I would appreciate any help you could assist me with . Thank you.

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.

Several times I have been driving at night and my head lights will shut off. The occurrences have been at different speeds anywhere from 30 m/hr to 70 m/hr. They have always come back on but I have had to wait anywhere from one minute to an hour before they would come back on. Normally I try to switch the lights on and off several times for them to come back on. Sometimes I would have to pull the car over put in park turn car over mess with light switch for them to come on.

Lights keep going out tried two time at dealers and getting no were.

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!!!.

This was the second time my lights went out and wouldn't come back on. I had to drive home from the er after my dad was admitted holding my high beams on. Very dangerous. Then they went out again this morning on the way to work I leave at 230 am and again I held my high beams on to drive to work. I called Ford they noted my complaint. Yea no help!!!!!.

Driving along interstate when headlamps went off. Apparently this is a known issue with several reports both to NHTSA and misc online sources. Other lights work as expected. Headlamps work sometimes and sometimes not. Clearly this is a safety issue that could have a potentially devastating result.

Head lamps intermittently turn on and off for extended periods of time when driving at night. Faulty lighting control module.

Head lights went out without warning and will not come back on. Fuse is not blown.

Head lights went out while driving. Stopped, pulled over, didn't want to drive at night without lights. Checked all fuses, all seemed to be ok. Fumbled with the switch and wires and connections, and for awhile contemplated how we would get ourselves, and the car home without any lights? started the car back up and the lights worked. . . . . Resumed our drive home. . . . But lights went out again. . . . . Decided to risk it and continued home without head lights. Took the car to a Ford service station the next week, they said it must be the switch, put in a new switch and said it was fixed. . . . . . . . . Picked it up after work, and headed for home, made it a 1/4 mile before they went out again. Got on the internet and discovered that this is apparently a very common problem with the crown victoria and to fix it, it takes a Ford re-- designed lighting control module. . . To the tune of about $500. 00. . . Ford obviously knows this is a design and safety problem, why aren't they taking care of the problem. . . . . Before people are killed????.

Takata recall. The head light do not work. I cannot use my car at night time for almost 2 years. It happened in 2012 and I fixed it that time, unfortunately, in summer 2015 the same problem came back again.

I pulled the lever back and held it, until I got home, this is a very dangerous situation. . .

2005 Ford crown vic head lights take a break my crown vic has only 31000 miles on it. Now that its getting dark earlier and I work 10am to 8pm my first near death experience happened. All most had a head on,,!!!!!!!!!!! that caught me off guard. . If there ever was a recall, this is the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

The headlamps turn off while driving or don't turn on at all [very intermittent][very scary][very dangerous!!] I live in the country and there are no streetlights,just imagine losing your only source of light ! a new lighting control module is needed at a cost of 500. 00 p&l . Research has shown that 2002 - 2005 crown vic police and passenger vehicles have this safety problem that need to be addressed before some one dies !.

Headlamps occasional failed to turn on or would go off periodically at first. A month later the problem had become the norm rather than the exception. When the headlamps went out I had to drive with my hand engaging the high beam in order to have driving lights. Flicking the hi/lo beam wand would not turn the lights back on. Interior dash lights worked normally. It got to the point in a 5 mile trip, at night, my driving lights were off more than they were on without me having to engage the high beam lamps for driving. Extremely congested areas that I drive in so the engaging the high beams all the time caused a safety hazard not only for on coming drivers but for me as well. It is extremely hard to drive a full size car like mine while keeping the high beams engaged. The integrated control module (icm) had to be replaced to fix the problem. This is hard to believe given the fact that my car had less than 42,000 miles on it at the time. The car had not been involved in any damage causing wrecks. From all the forums that there are online, does not appear to be an isolated occurrence.

Head lights on 2004 Ford Crown Victoria will go off while driving at night and sometimes will come back on then at times they will not come on at all. I am a single woman and on a fixed income this part is very expensive so I really think Ford needs to do something about it , I have replaced my switch on it thinking this was the problem but it wasn't.

Headlamps turned off while driving at night. They stayed off for about 60 seconds then came back on. This happened about 5 times in 20 mile trip.

Lighting control module failed. . . . Head lights went out in dark on hwy. Unable to get lights on safety hazard. Had to use flasher to approach pull off area. Still unable to get lights on. Family member came, followed to get car & passengers to safety.

Headlamps randomly go out on my 2004 Ford Crown Victoria. No symptoms until it happens. Click sound comes from what I have found to be the lcm (lighting control module) under the dash and the headlamps go out. This has now happened 4 or 5 times, maybe more because I have only noticed it at night (of course). When the lights go out it can be 30 seconds or 30 minutes before I can get them to come back on.

First taka take airbag on Jan. 1st 2008 I'm hit a deer and I'm had to replace my whole front even the hood the ,airbag light came on in fact it is still on but the bag did not deploy. The lights inside my truck stays on for 30 minutes and the alarm will not set after the vehicle is shut off. My suspension system on the passenger side sounds as if the brake caliber is loose when moving you can hear it when turning I took off the wheel, and I can not find the problem.

All Ford vehicles do not have day time driving lights. As a safety group you, know that vehicles with day time driving lights get in to less accidents. And how many pedestrian are injured or killed each year because they did't see the vechicle. It is the law in canada. What about us here in the USA?.

All exterior lights went off and then flashed back on while driving, unable to determine reason for intermittent failure. Mjs.
