Two problems related to fuses and circuit breaker have been reported for the 1996 Lincoln Town Car. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Fuses And Circuit Breaker problem

Failure Date: 10/18/2001

I was driving the Lincoln on a moonless night on an interstate with the high-beams on and the cd player operating. Suddenly, the Lincoln's headlights began to rapidly oscillate on and off. This continued for several seconds. To avoid a serious accident, I immediately turned off the cd player and the high headlight beams. Fortunately, the low headlight beams continued to burn, albeit dimly. I took the Lincoln to the dealer listed above, but an electrical system diagnostic check did not find any problems. I reported this problem to the Ford motor company, but they have refuse to take any action to correct this problem. This is a serious defect that, in my opinion, warrants a recall of this model.
