TO: AllU.S.Ford
and Lincoln Dealers
SUBJECT: Customer Satisfaction Program 14N01
All 2003-2005 Model Year Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis Vehicles
Extended Warranty Coverage on Lighting Control Module
PROGRAM TERMS
This program extends the warranty coverage on the lighting control module to 15 years of service or 250,000 miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle, whichever occurs first. This is a one-time repair program. If a vehicle has already exceeded the mileage limit, this coverage will last through October 31, 2014. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners.
VEHICLES COVERED BY THIS PROGRAM
All 2003 through 2005 model year Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis vehicles built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant from Job #1 2003 through Job Last 2005. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS.
REASON FOR PROVIDING ADDITIONAL COVERAGE
In some of the affected vehicles, the lighting control module may develop a crack on a solder joint which connects a relay to the circuit board. This may result in the headlamps not illuminating (intermittently or constantly), reducing driver visibility.
SERVICE ACTION
If an affected vehicle exhibits this condition, dealers are to diagnose and if necessary, replace the lighting control module. This service must be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner Letters are expected to be mailed the week of April 21, 2014. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that exhibit inoperative headlamps due to the lighting control module, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

ALL 2003 – 2005 MODEL YEAR CROWN VICTORIA AND GRAND MARQUIS VEHICLES — EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE
OVERVIEW
In some of the affected vehicles, the lighting control module may develop a crack on a solder joint which connects a relay to the circuit board. This may result in an intermittent or constant loss of battery voltage to the headlamps.
The condition may be intermittent. When the condition is active, a disrupted Lighting Control Module (LCM) solder joint will result in all of the following three illumination conditions…
With the headlamp switch ON, and the multi-function switch in:
- LOW BEAM position, both low beams (and high beams) will be OFF.
- HIGH BEAM position, both high beams (and low beams) will be OFF.
- FLASH-TO-PASS position, high beams will be ON.
To confirm if the condition is related to the LCM and covered under this program, follow the service procedure below. Any conditions found not related to the program should be addressed separately.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Connect IDS and perform self-test on the Lighting Control Module (LCM).
- If DTC B1342 is present, replace LCM and claim to this program. For additional information, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM) Section 419-10.
- If no DTCs are present, continue to Step 2.
- If any other DTCs are present, they are not related to this program.
- With the ignition key in the RUN position, and the headlamp switch in the ON position, check the LCM PIDs using IDS Datalogger for proper status. Do ALL the PIDs indicate as shown?
HD_LMP_SW = ON
IGN_LCM = RUN
VBATLCM = Greater than 10V- If Yes, continue to Step 3.
- If No, the concern is not related to this program.
- Check the fuse in the central junction box for an open circuit.
