Headlights Problems of Mercury Marauder

I'm having issues with the headlights. When you try to use the bright lights the headlights go out. It seems my issue would fit under the lcm recall for 2003-2005 Mercury grand marquis. When you enter the VIN it shows no recalls. I'm hoping this is an oversight since the Marauder is a version of grand marquis.

15s39 this vehicle recall has been on my cat for almost a year. According to this website safercar. Gov the remedy is available but when you take it to Ford it is not. This vehicle has had this recall with no remedy for a year! this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed. It has destroyed the value of the car. Its unsafe to drive at night since the headlights are not working. Ford is either lying about the recall remedy or it was misreported.

I was driving my 2004 Mercury Marauder on a two lane road in delaware county NY when my headlights went out. Driving the back roads takes total concentration due to the large number of nocturnal animals which can cross roads. I am the original owner of this car and I take great pride in maintaining it to the utmost top condition. It is rare to find this model car(a Marauder) but it is a grand marquis/ crown vic and while certain parts like tires are hard to come by, a light control module(lcm) is a dime a dozen. Ford has a program 14n01 (recall?) to replace these modules. Repeated calls to Ford customer care and my dealer has proved that Ford wants to help yet makes no commitment other then offering me a aftermarket part. The Ford part is on back order. I feel Ford will help me but only after my 18 year son has crashed due to Ford reluctance to immediately correct a potentially dangerous condition. If the proper part is on back order when will the part become available? I purchased the part from a Ford dealer and replaced it myself. Why? I can buy the lcm from a dealer in texas but my NY dealer can't get the part? Ford recognizes the problem uses a excuse of no parts? more important, Ford and Ford dealers want to correct the problem immediately with a non oem part? why? Ford no longer has manufacturing resources? how about a potential head on collision due to a failed relay or relays in the lcm which costs $20 in parts to replace. Shame on you Ford! how dare you put public safety job # who knows!.

The headlight relay portion of the lighting control module intermittently fails causing the headlights to turn off. This results in loss of visibility, and could result in a collision. The lights remain off for an unknown period of time and then turn back on. I have experienced 1-2 minute periods without light. This is a well know issue with 2003-2004 Ford crown victoria, Mercury grand marquis, and Mercury Marauder (Lincoln town car may also be involved).

This vehicle purchased in June 2003 has had 6 alignments (the first at about 500 miles) and the steering rack replaced all before 3100 miles because of a constant pull to the right. The dealer has informed me that I am no longer entitled to a "courtesy" alignment. Rf toe in has drifted . 8 degrees in 1 week's time and lf camber 1. 3 in same time. Will be entering lemon law proceedings.
