Check water and antifreeze level first. Add if low. If water level OK then check temp. guage when light comes on. If temp. gauge shows hot or close to hot get to shop soon before you do major damage to your motor. Do not run car when too hot. If you must add water and car is hot, park and wait 15 min. minimum then start car and pour water in slowly to avoid engine damage from adding cold water to a hot engine. This can crack your engine. Based on personal experience and family of mechanics.
If the engine is not running hot, it could be a short in the wiring or a faulty temp switch.
When temp light come on the engine is overheating

Before you get into this involved job I have a few suggestions. First is the pump leaking causing the system to lose coolant. Grab the fan and try to move it from side to side to see if there is play. Next when was the last time the thermostat was changed out. The thermostat can be stuck in a way as to restrict water flow. Another cause of over heating is a clogged radiator. Older cars can have a slug build up in the radiator core causing a significant cooling lose.
Water pumps on a Crown Vic is located on the front of the engine behind the fan. You should really get a service manual as there are a lot of steps in this job that must be done correctly to avoid future problems.
You start by draining the entire cooling system by opening up the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator. This antifreeze must be disposed of properly by taking it to a repair shop for pick up. Next remove the fan guard followed by disconnecting all the belts. Some people remove the radiator to gain working room. before removing the radiator disconnect the lower hose and the upper hose to the engine. The transmission oil cooling lines are next. Now remove all the bolts holding the radiator in place. As you can see this is not a job for a novas. If you are not mechanically inclined this could be a nightmare of a job.

Sounds like the multifunction switch. Try working the hazard switch up and down a few times to see if you get some lights to work. If so then replace the switch.
