Your vehicle is maybe six years old now. Have you checked your alternator? They can check it at Auto Zone with their machine. Or you can take it out and bring it up there and they can run it through the tester, which is the best way to tell if it is failing under full load.

We had a similar problem. The Crown Vic would always start and run fine but every 7 days or so the battery would run down. Turned out to be the starter solenoid on the fender well. It was very slowly draining the battery down but still worked okay. When it was replaced the problem went away.

I have no solution but the headlights go out only after I've driving the car, stopped for a few minutes like getting gas, pull away and then after a minute or two, the headlights go out. Doesn't matter if I use the headlights in manual or automatic mode. Sometimes the highbeams work, sometimes they don't. The parking lights seem to always work though.
Guess I'll be taking this to the dealer since I can't drive in the dark

We finally had to replace the wires all the way up to the harness as far as we could go with that along with the headlight switch in the dash.

I am having the same problem with my 2004 Ford Crown Vic. It has happened 3 times now. Each time after I stop for a couple of minutes (ex: has happened 2 times after getting gas). Anyone have any advice, money is tight right now during the holidays.
What did the dealer say golfnuts2?

I had a 77 LTD that use to do the same thing except that it use to happened when I was driving , Down some back country ass road with no street lights ,,,, what the problem usually is the head light switch if you look at it it is probably all melted and when it heats up they shut off when it cools down they come back on .So I would start out by replacing the actual head light switch in the dash. If that works let me know.........Patrick
