Headlights fail to come on or suddenly shut off while driving. Other lights, interior and exterior function. Headlights will burn only if the turn signal lever is held back. This is an extremely dangerous malfunction that is being experienced by many ford crown victoria and mercury grand marquis owners, model years 2004-2005. Dealers will replace light control module for $500 with no guarantee it will fix the problem. I know of several ford owners with the same identical problem. Many wrecking yards are sold out of the salvaged lcms (doesn't fix the problem anyway.)

Over the past several months, my 2005 mercury grand marquis has suddenly stalled when I begin to accelerate after the car is stopped. It happened 3 times in forward mode and once in reverse. On two occasions, I had gotten several feet into the busy intersection and in one incident, an accident nearly occurred.
