Didn't find anything on this when I searched, so I apologize for newbie redundancy, but it seems that it's a fairly big issue with the 03 - 04 models, and this seems the best place on the web to look for an answer to the problem.
I've seen various reports online related to this electronics problem, effecting every aspect of the car's lights, tail lights, stop lights, directionals. But in my case it's the common problem of the headlights not working except when I pull back on the directional lever. They still work sporadically, but I can't rely on them to get me home after dark. So it's time to fix it.
This problem clearly should have resulted in a recall by Ford, but they're not doing it. You can't buy the part from Auto Zone or any other parts retailer. I've priced the part out at Ford ($600) and have found the new, redesigned part for as low as $312 elsewhere, but I'm unemployed and looking for a better price. Research online suggests that the cheapest way to fix the problem is to buy a rebuilt module from someone on eBay at about $100. Just wondering what other peoples' experience has been with this problem and how they resolved it? Thanks.
