IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND WAIT TILL THEY COME BACK ON. I CALLED MY LINCOLN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS $107/HOUR TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IF IT IS THE LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE AS IT RUMORED TO BE THE BAD PART, THE COST IS ANOTHER $800. I THINK TH
