Automatic headlights relay soddard into backside of fuse panel (gem) was bad location for a person with no experience to fix or locate most people never got it fixed because of no experience and amount of money to have an electrical mechanic to fix. I understand there was a few people did get it fixed through a recall but I didn't and I never got a recall for this in the mail. I would like Ford motor company fix this because I was never notified of this problem. My car has had this problem for about 12 years.
My left headlamp housing has water on the inside of the protective housing around the headlamp and parking lamp. The moisture is increased to the point where nighttime lighting has been adversely diminished. There are no cracks, stone chips, or other visible evidence of damage to the exterior of the protective cover to the light housing. The moisture was first noticeable in may 2005. The vehicle has 30,000 miles and I have owned it since new. I can supply photographs of the defective housing if needed. The diminished nighttime visibility from the headlight is compromising operational safety. The vehicle VIN number 1mehm55s22g638841.
While driving at any speed intermittently headlights malfunctioned without any notice. Also, on several occasions, when the dimmer switch was used the headlights failed.
