When the brakes are applied , if the headlights are on, vehicle will lose the brake and taillights. A recall has been issued on the vehicle, however this vehicle was not included. The dealer has inspected the vehicle and the manufacturer has been notified.
Brakelights work intermittently right/ left sometimes both. If headlamps are on and apply brakes....lose all rear tail/brake lamps except for overhead 3d brake lamp mounted on top of minivan rear door
The headlight lense covers are yellow causing the lamps to be yellow with min. Brightness. The dealer acknowledge the problem as being common. He sold one of his mercurys because the lamp covers yellowed. He knew of someone crashing because of the dim lights. Cost to replace the headlamp covers is $698.00 because the front bumper must be removed. My turning lamp on the front blinker is brighter than the headlamps. Go to a large parking lot at a local mall and look at the villagers and quest that are 3-4 years old and you can see the yellow lamps. Thank you for looking into this and shedding some light on getting it fixed.
There is a current recall campaign #96v253003 date: 08/17/98 for this vehicle, which describes the problem exactly, but ford says my specific vehicle is not covered.

Consumer states when driving the and applying the brakes they make alot of noise. Also, tranmission is going out. Consumer had to keep putting bulbs in the tail lights, and the dealer can't found the problem.
The rear brake/tail light socket is poorly designed. The light was not receiving the power signal from the brake. The metal socket is pressure fit in the plastic retaining ring. Even when pushe dtogether, the fixture falls apart, causing the light to lose contact with braking action.
Right rear stop light socket malfunctioned. Claims original equipment failure.
Right rear amber light failed due to socket on bulb wiring harness broken.
