| On my brother's 1991 lincoln town car executive series, the main power wire to the headlight switch appeared to overheat and melt inside the switch assembly causing the lights to, at first, flicker out and then come right back on and as the problem progressed over a period of 2 weeks the lights would come on for a second or two and then not come back on at all. i replaced the switch and wire harness for him, which seemed to fix the problem. but he has since sold the car. i also encountered the exact same problem on my friend's father's 1992 lincoln town car (executive series), i fixed it the same way and it doesn't appear to have come back (i fixed it about 4 months ago). by the way the 1991 lincoln town car did not have the autolamp feature and the 1992 did. | |||
