Just put a relay in the LCM. Costs next to nothing and you can do it in 15 minutes.

In my opinion the LCM should have been a recall, this a safety facto and could cause fatalities, the headlights could fail as they did with me at night on a curved road, had I not reacted quickly and pulled back on the dimmer I could have easily run off the road.

I did the external relay upgrade this morning in my 04 MGM. Not a difficult job at all, but there's more hassle involved than what fastblackmerc offers to do this task for. If you aren't pushed to turn it around in a day you might want to send it to him.

I have acquired 2 spare LCMs. These are ready to be installed. Here is the particulars: http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...ad.php?t=65996

There was a NHTSA investigation into this lighting control module that included several model years of this platform. The investigation showed the failure rate did not warrant a recall (all vehicles can have problems, unless the rate is significantly higher than the industry as a whole, then it's not a recall. So thank all the crappy Kia & Hyndai & others for high failure rates.)
You may find that by reflowing the solder around the relay terminals that you can fix intermittant failure of headlamps, turn-signals, cornering lamps, and brake lamps. If you don't know what reflowing the solder means, I wouldn't recommend that you attempt the repair as it takes some skill with the right type of soldering iron not to ruin the board.
The modules are not necessarily interchangeable, upgrades were made and implemented at model year or as running changes.

Reflowing the solder may not fix the headlight / relay issues as the relay is undersized for the amount of amps flowing through it. Most of the LCM's that I've repaired have a brown spot on the pcb which is caused by the relay getting too hot. IMHO, an external heavy duty relay is the only way to go.
