flidkering headlights on 93 bird

Have replaced the pull switch now 3 times, and the multi-function switch
I also checked the grounds and fuse block and harness plug at the
firewall. the headlght switch still gets too hot ( the plug was replaced
also - partially melted) was there any other way to fix the headlight
flickering problem on the 93 bird???

The headlight problem is an open recall-visit TCCoA and print a copy of that particular recall, then take it and the car down to a Ford dealer in your area.

Sounds like that problem was not dealt with by the previous owner.

The only other thing I can think of is that you have a short in the system that is causing the heating issue.

When you replaced the MF switch, was there any melting around the plugs? I had that-once I installed a new plug, I had no further problems.

The Thunderbird & Cougar Club of America. Pretty much the premier club for the MN-12 chassis cars-includes Cougars, Birds and some Lincolns.
