Electrical System Problems of Lincoln Mark

While driving on the expressway, multiple system warning lights suddenly appeared on the dash with the message 'engine failsafe mode'. The engine immediately shut off and I lost power steering and power brakes while moving at highway speed. I was able to coast to the shoulder and the truck would not restart. The vehicle ran perfectly prior to this malfunction and there was no warning that a problem may exist. A mechanic determined that the power control module (pcm) was corrupted and required reprogramming. I purchased a refurbished pcm and had it programmed by a locksmith to my VIN. The faulty pcm is still in my possession and available for inspection. This is a very dangerous condition that could have resulted in a crash. Fortunately, this malfunction occurred on a Saturday morning with light traffic during daylight hours. I am scared this will happen again in the future because the cause for the pcm failure is unknown. The towing fee, diagnosis and repair created a considerable financial expense on my behalf.

The two original vehicle dome lights in the overhead console assembly, Ford part no. :4l3z-18519a70-bag, have melted the plastic parts within the assembly increasing the chance of a fire.

The headlight assembly reflective coating has all clouded and flaked off causing highly unsafe night time driving conditions. This is an extremely common issue with the Mark viii for model years 93-96 with the standard halogen headlamps. Ford motor CO. Is aware and should be responsible for repair / replacement of the affected parts.
