The generic electronic module will cause the power windows/interior lights, and the entie winshield wiper system to fail. The webb Ford dealership was contacted, and would not replace this module free of charge because the truck was a few thousand miles over warranty, even though it was only 2 and a half years old. I feel that this is not a wear and tear item and should be replaced as a matter of safety. As a matter of fact, they charged and extra hour (2 total) of diagnostic labor than other dealerships that were contacted. The customer assistance hotline was contacted, and they did not know of any problems with this module. However, I did find out from the nhtsta that there was a service bulletin. I feel that there should be some responsibility accepted by either the dealership or the manufacturer, Ford.
Water is leaking into the dashboard, causing windshield wipers/interior lights, and electrical windows not to work. Also, air bag light remains illuminated and other malfunctions occur. The point from where the water is leaking has not been determined.
Came in from the pasture around 7-8:00 P.M. parked truck under carport. Woke up around 5:00 a. M. and fire was coming out from under both front fender wells and the cab was full of smoke and fire. By the time the fire department got to the house, it was engulfed in flames which resutled in total loss of home and truck. A fire investigator feels the cause of the vehicle fire was caused by a short in the electrical system.
