One of the tail light bulbs can be shorted internally.  Replace the tail light bulbs first.  Try this cheap fix first.

There are, I believe 3 dial knobs to the left of the steering wheel. One is for the interior lights (dash, etc.), One is for the exterior lights, and without looking, one is a timer/or off dial. You can adjust the length of time that the lights stay on, or go off. You can also set for the exterior lights to come on/turn off automatically.

You need a new Pressure Control Solenoid Body. 9L2Z7G391A -solenoid pack for a 5R55S Trans. $332.20. at Trans Parts supplier. Don't even call a Lincoln Dealer for a price. They wouldn't even deal with me because I have a sales tax ID, and ask too many question. They will screw you over big time. That's a common problem in a long list of LS issues, my wife has one also and I used to have a Trans Repair Shop. It will slam into Reverse cold, Slip or flair on 3 to 4 Shift. Also expect the EGR Valve to go bad and make the trans issue even harder to troubleshoot, untill it works correctly. Drop the tran pan, remove about 7 screws and change the solenoid body. Best bet, go to a trans shop, never a dealer. Also get the old fluid out of there and put Mecon V in ,with a bottle of Red Lubgard Additive.
