Jan 2015 Light control module is defective-headlights turn off and do not work at all until relay cools off. Very dangerous situation when both headlights turn off and the only way to get the lights to work is hold the flash high beam stalk back.

Ford recall 14n-01 to replaced light control module is a Ford scam and the dealers way of making business! Ford light control module (LCM) on my 2004 Mercury Marauder needed to be replace to relay failure. Ford dealer, Customer Care know about recall as severe safety issue but do not address properly! I bought the ford part and replaced myself. Cooling system problem replace radiator. Replaced coil on plug (COP) and gasket on cover to get to COP and spark plugs.

Jun 2013 I believe the valve seals were starting to leak. If you let it sit for 3 days or more and started it up it would smoke. If you drove it every day you didn't notice it.
