2003 Ford Crown Victoria Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“I have a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria. I am having issues with the electrical system. I only have 2 speeds on my wipers. Either the second intermittent, or full speed. While on full speed, if I turn on the left turn signal, the wipers stop. A while back, my horn would just honk on its own. The worst, which made me take out the fuse, was at 3:30am one night the horn just wouldn't stop. I was asleep in the house. The windows work, sometimes. …”

“I bought my Ford crown vic 3 years ago paid 6000 dollars, within two weeks the windshield wipers stopped working, then the transmission went out cost me 2500, then horn would go off and would not turn off till I pulled the positive battery cable off. Two weeks later the blinkers stopped working, then the lighting control module started making a loud beeping sound, then my headlights and tail lights stopped working. I revived a recall letter from Ford and it says take my car to Ford dealership and they would fix it free of charge. …”

“I purchased this vehicle 11/2015 from a local town. The wipers have started to work or not work occasionally. The last time they stopped I drove directly to the local dealer, crowley Ford in plainville ct. They took it in to access the problem and when they tried them they worked and diagnostics were impossible. I picked up the car and the wipers worked. I drove home 10 miles and tried them again in my driveway, they do not work. My concern is if they work when I get in the car and they stop at highway speed will I hit anything prior to stopping at the side or the road. …”

“Heating and defrost failed. Ford service co wanted a $1000 to look at it. I didn't have them look at it. Now, I only drive it in the summer months. This vehicle has an original 70,000 miles on it and now the headlights only work intermittently. In 2010 I had to have the gas tank replaced. I have read several reports on 2003 crown vic with the same problems. I live in the south, lots of rain and humidity. Defrost is a must as well as headlights. I do not understand why Ford is giving the option to as to whether or not they will fix their defects or pass them on to the consumer. …”

“I have a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria that has started turning on the windshield wipers and the lights. This only happens when the car has reached operating temps. I have also noted dash lights and other automatic features self activating. Again this only when the car is hot (not when first started).the dealers have been no help as to the cause of the problem (I think it maybe related to the overheating problem Ford is having in police cars and taxi cabs, but will not admit it).”
