What owners wrote
I was driving at night and a car hit me in the rear. The other driver said he didn't see me since I did not have my lights on. I showed him that they were on but yet the tail lights were not. When I had a shop check for the problem, they said the fuses, bulbs and relays were fine. They said the problem is a common problem with this model and it is a lighting control module which costs over $500.they said ford has known about the problem but still has not recalled the item.
Tl* - the contact stated that the horn would not work. The battery also failed. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealer and they installed a used battery. She fused and then they replaced it with a cheap battery that did not fit the vehicle. The tire on the passenger back side had no tread, and the vehicle would skid when going up hill. Updated 1/31/2007 - the rear defrost was inoperative. The dealer determined that the grid was bad and suspected a bad connection at the glass. The check engine light illuminated.
