Filed Oct 10, 2022 · Electrical · CA

Safety Recall 19S35b Processor Lighting cont was done on 3/22/2021on my working part. The original module was working fine. Now the new light module is faulty. Dealership took out part and tested it. Determined that is was faulty causing my lights to fail. Dealership and Ford has denied covering a replacement of the failed part. It would seem that the part should be still covered since it is a part that was part of a recall.

Lights failed when driving down dark freeway, nearly drove off road, stopped car, heard click and lights came back on, but a few minutes later, went off again. As I drive down the road I hear a click and then they come back on, but more minutes they go off again, continual intermittent on/off. This occurs when the lights are in headlamp setting, or autolamp control, lights don't work when in this condition in high beams. Fortunately they are working when held toward steering wheel in flash-to-pass, so have been holding the lights on this way for months. From what I've read, this is an ongoing continual problem with this vehicle. I'm surprised there have been no reports of accidents or death, but it's a hard issue to identify as it's inconsistent, and if someone was reported as 'loosing control of their vehicle', it could be loss of lights causing them to run off the road. Read how to do a quick resolution by kicking the lcm under the dash, which sometimes does cause the lights to come back on. Also, have seen a youtube video from a mechanic that shows how to solder on new relays to the computer panel, which fixes the issue for $15.00, which I've considered doing myself as a replacement unit is upwards of $400.00. This needs to be a recall issue!!!

While driving home from a wedding reception at 10:00 pm lights suddenly went out . Pulled over to side of road and tried all modes of lights operation (automatic, parking and regular lighting mode). Trying dims and high beams both. Finally got lights to work if I held dimmer switch in pulled position until reaching home. Looking on internet found out that this is an ongoing problem with crown vics. Failure in lighting control module. Still need some sort of repair.

Head lights turned off while driving on interstate hwy. At 70 MPH needed to pull over and after 15 min. Heard click and lights came on (later occurances same thing happened) upon dealer repair at over $400+ learned this is a common occurance with this car. Has not happened since repair. Safety issue yes if you loose lights its pretty hard to see where you are going at night on a unlit roadway. Ford should recall these models and repair and refund those that had to pay for the repair.
