1999 Mercury Grand Marquis Exterior lighting Problems

“My headlights, hazards, and turn signals all just randomly went out while driving. They have not come back on since. After reading forums I believe it to be the lcm but my year model is not included in the recall. I believe this issue dates back farther than 2000 and ford should step up and recall more of these lcm components.”

“Vehicle was parked. I went to turn my headlights on. No headlights, turn signals, dash lights, hazard flashers or dome light. The 2003-2005 models were recalled for this same thing with the lcm failing. Please look into this as this is a serious safety issue.”

“We own three Mercury Grand Marquis, love the cars however all three( 2000, 1999 and second 1999 all intemitantly loose headlights when high beams are on.

This happens any time the gray 99 has high beams on for about 45mins. …”

My key code includes the 3/4 key though, so I cannot use this keypad to unlock my vehicle or trunk. However the keypad lights up on its own, which causes my exterior and interior lights to illuminate. These lights cycle on for about 15 seconds and turn off for about 30 seconds. I had to remove my interior dome lights because they would drain the battery. …”

“Intake manifold failed (burned and disintegrated in the area of the thermostat ) and had to be replaced at considerable expense . Presently the speedometer fails intermittently dropping to zero at random moments. Most importantly the lights cut out intermittently usually when the heat is on and on longer trips. Also, most times it has happened when it has been raining and colder. Drove upwards of 40 miles with the headlights cutting out intermittently in the rain and cold, problem has continued to recur but seems to be related possibly to having the heat on. …”
