| The inside lights of my 1997 lincoln continental which was purchased on feb. 28, 1997, started coming on while we were driving the car and wouldn't go out. it also occurred when we turned off the car. we would turn off one inside light and another would come on and we had to play around with it to try to get it off. this resulted in our battery being drained several times. we took it to a repair shop and on 1-19-05 they had to replace the light control module, the part alone cost us $556.42 and an additional $90 to find out that the module was bad and had to be replaced. our mechanic advised us that there had been safety recalls on the light control modules for 1995 and 1996 lincoln continental cars like our's and they expected that a similar safety recall should be done for the 1997 lincoln continental which is the one we own. the problem began occuring this past summer around july 2004 and has continued on numerous occasions where we have had to jump start the car for a temporary fix. *ak | |||
