Fog lites intermittent

[Turbov6Bryan]

Marauder-fans,

Ford Co. has a voluntary program to provide and install new lighting relay box that is located above the throttle pedal. It is advertised on the web, but it is advertised for the Grand Marquis and the Crown Victoria, not the Marauder, but the VIN on Marauders have certain numbers that connect it with the Grand Marquis. I've had headlight troubles with both of my silver Marauders; one stock, one Vortech and much nicer with lots of upgrades and improvements.

So, all you out there with unreliable head lights, call Ford customer service at 866 436 7332 and give them your VIN. The relays in side the black box go bad and usually they have intermittent problems and then they go "belly up" months or a few years later. That is what I've experienced and many other people too. LCM, I think, lighting control module is 200 + so Ford in providing new ones and having them installed. If yours has worked o.k., well, it is a matter of time. So, a "little white lie" that your headlights blink off and on from time to time would't be totally the wrong thing, because 100:1 it will happen soon if it hasn't happened yet.

My first post. 2 silver '04 MM. One flint and sunroof; one charcoal with Vortech, water/alky injection, stainless brakes, re-finished wheels, new Coopers RS3, post gauges, alloy rear suspension elements. Soon to have stainless headers and audiophile stereo. '70 Torino Type NW, 75 Bronco restored; '03 T-Bird, '06 250 diesel, '37 Ford 2 dr. flatback: my grandfathers car!, '92 E-250 motor home conversion, '89 Taurus SHO .. one of the first. Piper Comanche 250 '64. Semper Fi, Marine RF-4B Phantom II what a great plane. I've owned tons of cars, nothing like the Marauder. Yours, Lance

Good post, try posting more often... I want to hear more about those silver birches

I had my lighting module replaced at a Ford dealership many months ago. My taillights
were out completely and no cluster lights.

Pat, you should have a package in your mailbox on Monday 9/29.

You mean 8/29, August not September? OK, thanks, I'll be looking for it.

Thanks FBM, the relay you sent me, K207, fixed the problem. The fog lights come on when commanded.

Also thanks to RF Overlord for correctly troubleshooting the problem.

Car also runs faster now too. (what was in that relay?)

Factory must have installed a relay meant for a DTR...

Bazinga.
