My daughter has 1998 COntour LX Sports Sedan. Wheneve it rains, the headlights come on, and there is nothing you can do inside the car thaat will turn them off. This even happens when the car has been sitting in the driveway, turned off, locked up, unoccupied. It rains, and BINGO the lights come on.
Many times we have left home for a few days and left the car in the driveway. It rains while we are gone, and when we get home battery is completely dead. You connect the charger to it, and the lights are still on! The ONLY way you can turn them off is to pop the hood, open the fuse box, and pull the relay that activatess the lights. Leave it out for a few minutes, then plug it back in. Then the lights are off.
When it is not raining they function like they are supposed to.
My wife was talking with a co-worker about this, and he has an identical model. It happens to his car also, even when it is inside the garage!
The dealership says they never heard of this before! My daughter thinks the car is obsessed and has nicknamed it
"Christine".
