    LCM Not Working

    So I received the LCM letter from Ford. Brought my Marauder to my local Ford dealer today to have it repaired. They called a little later saying that the LCM module is on national back order and it could be a month before they are available.

    My headlights don't work at all but the corner lights and fog lights do.

    Does anyone have any ideas how to get the headlight to work until the LCM is available again?

    I see RockAuto has one for about $64. Has anyone replaced their LCM with this one from RockAuto?

    I can repair it but you won't be able to get a new one from Ford... but then again you won't need a new one.
    In replace the headlight relay with an external heavy duty one and then replace the other 3 relays with new higher amperage ones.

    I believe installed it is close to $600.00.

    Part around $400.00

    Labor around $200.00

    Might even be more.

    My mistake. I thought it was just the switch that was failing. I didn't realize it was a black box. RockAuto has that part for about $280.

    Is it really free if you have to pay for parts and return shipping?

    That's what a dealership will charge.

    So you agree it not free.. Correct?

    Do you also replace the other 3 relays?

    Not knocking you, Jim....was and still am more than happy to pay you for your service 3 years ago instead of the other alternative ($600+).

    Just making a point that someone else was willing to provide another alternative for the community for this issue and got shut down.

    Thanks for calling me this morning...
