“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. …”
