Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I OWN A FULL SIZE 1994 FORD BRONCO 351 5.8L EDDIE BAUER. AFTER DRIVING AT NIGHT FOR 5-10 MINUTES THE LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. I NOTICED A VERY STRONG BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL EMITTING FROM THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE HEADLIGHT/DIMMER SWITCH. I REMOVED THE DASH TO EXAMINE THE SWITCH, CONTACT BLADES, AND WIRING HARNESS PLUG. THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR AT THE END OF WIRING HARNESS THAT PLUGS INTO THE HEADLIGHT/DIMMER SWITCH WAS BURNED, MELTED AND EXTREMELY HOT TO TOUCH. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY AS VEHICLES GET OLDER AND THE SWITCH FAILS DUE TO DEFECT. I'M NO AUTOMOTIVE GENIUS, BUT CONCERNED THAT OTHERS MAY CONTINUE TO DRIVE VEHICLE AND FAULTY SWITCHES WILL START FIRES. I SAW INFORMATION FROM WALTERS FORENSIC ENGINEERING - TORONTO ONTARIO THAT LAB SITUATIONS SHOWED THESE SAME SWITCHES CAUSE FIRES FROM ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE PROBLEMS. I HAVE THE MELTED PARTS FOR EXAMINATION. CONSEQUENCES CAN BE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FORD MOTOR CORPORATION SHOULD REPLACE/RECALL THESE FAULTY ITEMS. RECENT FORD FIRES MAY ALSO BE RELATED TO THIS SWITCH DUE TO CLOSE PROXIMITY OF CRUISE CONTROL FIRES SOURCE. THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH MAY MELT AND BURN BEHIND THE DASH AREA FROM HIGH HEAT. PART# STAMPED ON THE DIMMER SWITCH IS MOTORCRAFT E77B-11654-AA. THERE IS A SECONDARY NUMBER IN NON-REMOVABLE INK OR PAINT THAT APPEARS ALSO. MAY BE A FORD PLANT OR PART IDENTIFICATION# USED DURING ASSEMBLY. IT IS 3L 0912. THERE ARE 9 BLADES ON THE SWITCH THAT CONNECT TO WIRING HARNESS. THESE PRONGS HAVE IDENTIFICATION LETTERS NEXT TO THEM DOWN INSIDE THE SWITCH. (FOR EXAMPLE: TO NAME A FEW THERE ARE D1, D2, AND IGN) THE AREA OF CONCERN HAS B2 NEXT TO IT. IT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THE THIRD ROWS OF BLADES IN THE CENTER. MOTORCRAFT APPARENTLY HAS A DIFFERENT OR NEW IDENTIFICATION# FOR THIS SWITCH. I HAVE NOT PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT YET, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE NEW PART # FOR MY VEHICLE AS DESCRIBED MAY BE SW2103. PLEASE RESPOND! *JB
INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT FAILURE, SIMILAR TO THE 1998 RECALL OF FORD CARS
HEAD LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY FAILED, CAUSING ALL LIGHTS TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN A COLLISION DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY.
HEADLIGHT BULB SHIELD BROKE, CAUSING HEADLIGHT RAYS TO GO IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
