This notice is a follow-up to the letter we sent you in December, 1995 regarding the need to replace the lighting control module on your 1995 or 1996
Lincoln Continental. In the event you misplaced that letter or for some reason did not receive that letter, a copy is included for your reference.
In our December letter, we indicated that repair parts would not be available until mid-March. However, a limited supply of parts is now available.
Therefore, we ask you to contact your dealer without delay and request a service date. Your dealer will need to order parts after your call. Parts would be
expected to arrive within a week.
We regret the inconvenience this service may cause you.

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Ford Motor Company has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1995 and 1996 Lincoln Continentals.
Safety Defect
On some of these vehicles, a defect within the Autolamp system may cause the exterior lighting, including the headlamps, to shut off without warning. If
the headlamps were to go off while the car is being driven at night, an accident might result. This condition will only occur while the Autolamp feature is
being used to activate the headlamps. It will not occur if the exterior lamps are activated by the manual headlamp switch. Accordingly, if the headlamps
were to shut off without warning while in the Autolamp mode, the driver could regain headlamp function by simply manually rotating the headlamp
switch to the second position as shown in the attached copy from your vehicle Owner Guide (page 109 in 1995; page 82 in 1996).
Vehicle Owner Guide: page 107 in 1995; page 82 in 1996
Repairs
To correct this condition, it will be necessary to install a new lighting control module in your vehicle. However, this part is not expected to be available
from Ford to your dealer until mid-March. At that time you will be notified by first class mail, with a letter similar to this one, to have the new module
installed by your dealer.
