Headlamp TSB

[2003_MM_FYRE49]

I just got home from the dealer and I asked them about a possible TSB for the headlamp moisture and this is what they gave me. My new heaplamp assemblies are on order.

[B] SSM 16997 2003 GRAND MARQUIS AND MARAUDER - MOISTURE IN HEADLAMPS
SOME 2003 GRAND MARQUIS OR MARAUDER VEHICLES MAY EXIBIT EXCESSIVE MOISTURE IN ONE OR BOTH HEAD LAMPS. A SMALL AMOUNT OF CONDENSATION IS NORMAL DUE TO COOLING OF THE HEADLAMP AND THE CONTAINED AIR.TO DETERMINE IF THE MOISTURE IS EXCESSIVE, INSPECT THE HEADLAMP. IF THERE IS STANDING WATER INSIDE THE HEADLAMP, THE HEADLAMP MUST BE REPLACED. IF CONDESATION IS PRESENT ON THE LENS, TURN ON THE HIGHBEAMS FOR 10 MINUTES TO ALLOW THE HEADLAMP TO WARM AND EVAPORATE THE MOISTURE. IF THERE IS STILL CONDENSATION AFTER 10 MINUTES PROCEED WITH THE HEADLAMP REPLACEMENT. REPLACE HEADLAMP WITH THE FOLLOWING PARTS. GRAND MARQUIS: 3W3Z-13008-AC (RH), 3W3Z-13008-AD (LH) MARAUDER: 3W3Z-13008-BC (RH), 3W3Z-13008-BD (LH)
