Contact states the passenger side door lock is not functioning properly. The door cannot be unlocked from the outside with the electronic control. The battery has been replaced in the remote control. Contact can unlock the door with the actual key. Also, there are problems with the electrical system, when the windshield wipers are turned on the radio will go off. There is an appointment schedule with a service dealer for Monday, June 27, 2005.
Purchased 1999 F150 lariat new with electronic side mirrors with built in turn signal lights. The mirrors have faded and turned spotty with dark spots. The passenger side mirror is almost impossible to see out of and the drivers side is almost as bad. Within the next couple months I will not be able to see out of either side mirror. Called Ford and they said it wasn't a defect and I needed to bring it into a Ford dealer to see if it would be covered.
Digital odometer light turns on & off. Door ajar light, dome light, and automatic door locks go on & off also. Electrical problems may be the "GEM module." Seat belts do not retract getting cut/damaged from door latch when door is closed, they have been replaced once already. Ford engineers were notified nearly six months ago but no reply.
