problem #1

Nov 032008

Explorer Limited 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 53,000 miles

The headlights will not come on in the auto mode, the interior lights will not come on when the doors are opened, only when you are exiting the vehicle. Door locks do not lock in the auto mode. The warning, headlights are on, does not activate upon exiting the vehicle. My mechanic thought it was the bcm control module, noooot. I'm apprehensive with taking it to the dealer since it may cost me up to a $1000.00 are more. I've had to replace the battery within the last week because of leaving the headlights on. Sometimes everything works.

Any suggestions other than giving the dealer the keys to my wallet?
