FOR OVER TEN (10) YEARS THE HEADLIGHTS (BUT NOT THE SIDE DRIVING LIGHTS) HAVE BEEN GOING OFF (FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES) AND THEN COMING BACK ON. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME THE LIGHTS COME ON AND SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENT IN THE SUMMER TIME WHEN IT IS WARM OR HOT OUTSIDE. THE DATE BELOW IS JUST APPROXIMATELY WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED AND IS NOT THE ONLY DATE/'TIME IT HAS OCCURRED, IT HAS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY BUT CONTINUOUSLY SINCE THAT DATE.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR BACK IN MAR 02 2004 (FORD RECALL NUMBER 04S12) FOR AN EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH, WHICH WAS (ACCORDING TO FORD) DONE JAN 10 2005. I HAD FAILED AGAIN ON 11/15/2012 LEAVING ME WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET IT OUT OF PARK.

WHENEVER I TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEATER MY CAR ACCELERATES SUDDENLY IN A RANDOMLY MANNER FOR NO REASON BY ITSELF, WHEN HEATER OR AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED OFF THE PROBLEM STOPS, THERE'S NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND AN INSPECTION YIELDED NO PROBLEMS, I AM NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL OR ANYTHING ELSE AND A LOCAL FORD DEALER HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR
