Welcome to Just Answer I'm Chris aka Moose, I'm sorry you are having problems with your Mercury. I will do my best to help you get this resolved. If I happen to be helping another or step away during our communication, please know I will follow up as soon as I am back available/online. I try to be online for about 10+ hours a day, midday and late-night shift.
- Can you tell me the battery voltage on the posts and cables with the engine running?
- If you do not pump the pedal does it still crank strong and fast?
- If you rev the engine to 2000+ then turn on the lights, will it still stall?

Since you were not able to reply to the info request I sent. I cannot be as accurate and thorough as I would like. I hope what I can provide does help. It is possible that you have an alternator that is failing not producing enough amps to power the engine electrical components and the high beams coupled together at the same time.

Yea I have a 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis and I just recently tried 2 turn my car on and it started up until I turned the lights on. Once i turned the lights on, the engine cuts off, but everything stays on like the dashboard, radio, and even the AC. I then tried 2 start her up again and it wouldn't comeback on, all I could really hear is some kind of static everytime I turn the ignition. So I let it sit after a while and instead pumped the accelerator 3 times before turning the car back on and it does just that. But as soon as I again try to turn the light on or use a signal, it immediately cuts off again. So at this point I'm just lookin' for some insight on the issue and what's the best course of action 2 take. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the fuses? The dashboard bulbs? I checked the dashboard, everything is lit up when it cuts off, but if I pump the accelerator and start the car again, the dashboard goes back 2 normal. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Grand Marquis yourself? What have you tried so far? No I'm just looking anything weird or consistent the car does and I've really done nothing but pump the accelerator to get it back on. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Yea when the car turns off when I cut the lights on and I again try 2 cut the car back on normally, it seems 2 be some kind of static everytime I turn the ignition and if I turn the lights on, it makes a weird little noise
