Thanks so much, way2old! We are going to look into your sage advice! As for the light problem, we had already sprayed the door latches on 2 separate occaisions and it sadly didn't work as we had hoped. Any other thoughts on that? We took out the bulbs and I can live w/o the interior light coming on for awhile but would like for it to be fixed for good. I guess these Grand Marquis have a history of quirky problems? The joke in our house is that grandad is haunting my car!

We first noticed it on Halloween night!
Thanks again--we are going to try what you advised! I appreciate your response--these things have been driving me crazy!!
