ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
I WAS DRIVING THE LINCOLN ON A MOONLESS NIGHT ON AN INTERSTATE WITH THE HIGH-BEAMS ON AND THE CD PLAYER OPERATING. SUDDENLY, THE LINCOLN'S HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO RAPIDLY OSCILLATE ON AND OFF. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. TO AVOID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE CD PLAYER AND THE HIGH HEADLIGHT BEAMS. FORTUNATELY, THE LOW HEADLIGHT BEAMS CONTINUED TO BURN, ALBEIT DIMLY. I TOOK THE LINCOLN TO THE DEALER LISTED ABOVE, BUT AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC CHECK DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY, BUT THEY HAVE REFUSE TO TAKE ANY ACTION TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT, IN MY OPINION, WARRANTS A RECALL OF THIS MODEL. *AK
