| 2003 crown victoria, headlights stop working while driving. it appears i need to replace the lighting control module (lcm). i see from internet searches that many many have had this same problem.this part is almost $600 from ford. it appears that ford has a safety issue here that they are avoiding. i'm surprised that no recall is in effect. at least ford should offer some goodwill support to their customers by lowering the price of this part.... | |||

| The vehicle's headlights shut themselve's off randomly while the headlights are in use. intermittently, the lights will fail to turn on when the switch is turned on. these events have become increasingly frequent to the point that now the lights will fail several times on every night trip. hitting a box called the lighting control module may encourage the lights to turn back on temporarily. | |||
