A couple of years ago while on vacation 200 miles from home with my family the headlights suddenly went out. After a little inspection I found we still had flash to pass high beams. The next day (July 3rd) I went to the local dealer and the parts houses and no one had a replacement. As a former usaf jet engine mechanic I went back to the camper and found a wiring diagram. I figured out it was a problem with the lighting control module. I took it apart and replaced the defective relay. We finished our vacation and I soon forgot the issue. I received a recall notice for the module and took it to the dealership for replacement. I was informed by the service manager that since I had repaired the part Ford would not take it back so they could not help me. I had the sneaking feeling I was being lied to. I went home and researched the recall. I found the repair does not even involve replacing the part but taps into the wiring before the module. I called Ford corp and was told they did not understand what I was talking about as they weren't a technician but they stood by their dealers decision. I don't feel that I should be punished for doing what it took to get my family home safely. I hope you can help me with this problem.

Dash lights and headlights on when driving down road on dark night, then dash lights went out - couldn't see speedometer or gear indicator. Then headlights went out, but dash lights came back on.

In case something got wet in the rain I waited several days to try again, then tried it today - the same things happened on the street near my home.
