2001 Mercury Sable electrical system problems

“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.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 MERCURY SABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALARM SYSTEM AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD ACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY AND RECURRINGLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN FOR DIAGNOSIS OR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 189,000.”

“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. HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL FIRST BEFORE I STARTED MY CAR SO I COULD DRIVE IT TO GET FIXED. *TR”

“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”

“THIS CAR ONLY WORKS WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT AND TOOK IT TO EVERY SHOP N CANT FIND THE PROBLEM..BEEN STRANDED SO MANY TUMES AND THE DEALER AINT GONNA DO NOTHING ABOUT IT KNOWING THAT IM STILL PAYING FOR IT OR TRADE ME A CAR NEED HELP HERE. *TR”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 MERCURY SABLE. THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. WHENEVER IT RAINS, THE FUSE BOX ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR GETS WET. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ILLUMINATED IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,754 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,700.”
