Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)BRAKE LIGHT FUSE FAILURE. TROUBLE SHOOTING FOUND A SHORT AT THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH ON TOP OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS SHORT WAS CAUSED BY THE SWITCH LEAKING BRAKE FLUID THRU IT TO THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ABOVE AND WAS STILL COOKING LONG AFTER THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. I REPLACED THE SWITCH AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE PARTS MGR @ TEXAS MOTORS DEALERSHIP IN FT WTH, TX ABOUT THE DANGER OF THIS DISCOVERY HE LAUGHED AND REPLIED "WE SELL LOTS OF THOSE SWITCHES". THAT WAS NOVEMBER OF 2004. THE TRUCK IS A 1994 F150. THEIR FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM NOW IS TO SIMPLY BYPASS THIS SAFETY SWITCH WITH A JUMPER WIRE INLIEU OF REPLACING A POORELY DESIGNED PART WITH A BETTER DESIGHED PART AND LOOK THE OTHER WAY ON SAFETY. IS THIS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN THE FUTURE FROM FORD? SHOULD I SELL MY NEW SPORT TRACK BEFORE IT BURNES DOWN AND BUY ONE FROM ANOTHER MFG? I HOPE FORD WILL TREAT THIS PROBLEM BETTER THAN THEY DID THE FUEL TANKS ON THE PINTO AND CROWN VICTIRIA. I HOPE THIS IS NOT WHAT THE AMERICAN WAY HAS COME TO. THANKS. *AK
DASH ON RIGHT SIDE MOVES UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD,FOUND THE MOUNTING TAB (MADE OF PLASTIC) BROKEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE BY DOOR. WHEN DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON THEY WILL GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON SOMETIMES IN A SECOND OR TWO,OTHER TIMES IF THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON THEY WILL WORK FOR AWHILE. HAVE CHECKED THE WIRING AND BULB SIZE AND IT ALL SEEMS TO BE ALRIGHT. ANY HELP WITH THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIETED. *AK
WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT WORK WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS ENGAGED, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY.
ALL OF INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER SETTINGS DO NOT WORK ALL OF THE TIME. ADDITIONALLY, SOMETIMES I MUST "JIGGLE" THE TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY TO ACCTIVATE THE HEADLIGHTS. MORE THAN ONCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE I REALIZE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. I HAVE HAD THIS PART REPLACED BEFORE FOR HE SAME PROBLEMS. MY WIFE OWNS A '98 FORD EXPLORER, SAME PROBLEM. A FRIEND OWNS A '98 FORD TAURUS, SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS A SAFETY RELATED ITEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER MUST KEEP REPLACING FREE OF CHARGE? *AK
POSSIBLE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH FAILURE CAUSING WIPER NOT TO WORK IN FIRST 4 SETTINGS AND THE HEADLIGHT WORK INTERMITTENTLY BY "JIGGLING" LEVER. *YC
