2005 Crown Victoria Headlights will not turn on only the high beems turn on when I pull back on the High beem flasher on the turn signal arm?

Answer 1

Might have to replace the head lite switch, in the car. You have a timer on it, might be bad. Edit 521: On my 2005 CVPI, I had a similar problem. Mounted under the dash, just above the OBD connector is a box (appx. 4" X 6" X 2" roughly) with a couple of wiring harnesses plugged into it (if I recall, 3 plugs total). This is an electrical control module that the lights and horn and other stuff goes through. When I removed mine and opened it up, I found that on one of the small relays inside, the solder had broken loose from one of the pins on the relay to the board, causing it to intermittently prevent contact to power the headlights. The part is rather expensive from the dealer, but if you have any soldering skills, a good magnifier, and a set of torx type drivers, you should be able to make the repair yourself. I had to look really close to see it, as it only looked like a small ring around the pin, but was actually a broken solder joint. A simple reheating to melt the solder back to the pin, and a dab of fresh solder over it, and no more issues for me. Note also that this was sometimes an intermittent problem, as I could be driving along and the lights switch off, then a few minutes later (sometimes longer) I would hear a click under the dash as the relay again made contact, and the lights would come back on. Until then, I had to hold the High Beam switch for lights. Hope this helps!
