TAKATA RECALL MAL FUNCTION OF AIR BAGS

WHILE TRYING TO START MY 07 FORD RANGER IT LOST MOST OF ITS POWER ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE ONLY POWER I CAN GET IS ON AUXILIARY (TURNING THE KEY BACK) BUT EVEN THEN ALL I GET ARE WIPERS, DOME LIGHT AND RADIO. THEN WHEN I TURN THE KEY OFF THE FUSE BOXES MAKE A TICKING NOISE. AFTER TESTING ALL FUSES AND CONNECTIONS I FOUND THAT OUT OF 56 TOTAL FUSES (BOTH UNDER THE HOOD AND IN THE CAB) ALL THE FUSES WERE OK BUT 24 OF THE CONNECTIONS WEREN'T RECEIVING POWER. I CAN UNDERSTAND BLOWING FUSES AND MAYBE EVEN A FEW CONNECTIONS BUT TO LOSE THAT MUCH POWER AT ONCE DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. I'VE ALSO FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW REPORTS FOR FORDS 2007 ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BUT AFTER CALLING FORDS CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM (AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTED TO RAPE ME FOR $1000 WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT) I FIGURED SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR
