EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:HIGH/LOW BEAM DIMMER SWITCH
WHEN TURNING HEADLIGHTS ON HIGH BEAMS, THE LOW BEAMS GO OFF. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MADE THIS WAY. THE ONLY WAY THAT HIGH AND LOW BEAMS CAN BE USED AT THE SAME TIME IS TO HOLD THE FLASHER SWITCH IN THE FLASHER POSITION. THIS MEANS HOLDING THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER IN THE FLASHE POSITION WITH ONE HAND EHILE TRYING TO DRIVE WITH THE OTHER. *AK

#703880March 1, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WE PURCHASED TWO 1998 FORD CROWN VICTORIA POLICE VEHICLES AND BOTH HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE. TO MAKE REPAIRS REQUIRES THE CRANK SHAFT TO BE REMOVED. COST PLUS LOSS OF USE OF THE VEHICLE MAKES PROBLEM MORE SEVERE. LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AROUND THE COUNTRY SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS FAILURE AND FOLLOW UP SURVEYS SHOULD BE DONE TO ASSESS SCOPE OF PROBLEM.
