Truck was taken for East Ford (dealer) for transmission maintenance. The od light and reverse lights failed from that point on. Truck taken back 4/16/2001 for same, dealer says wiring in steering/shifter is rubbed and requires shifter replacment.
Under dash electrical wiring malfunctioned, causing headlights/ tail lights, and dome lights, etc, to fail. This may result in visual difficulty, and cause a crash.
Had noticed smoke filling gauges & then turned black. Had stopped vehicle & smelled smoke. Checked vehicle & dashboard twice before it caught fire. The fire occurred from under the steering wheel/dashboard area.

Part replaced with used parts. Total cost $379.18, took 10 days to get repaired at bay Ford, port orchard, wa, 98366. This failure caused a small fire within the steering column and filled the cab with smoke. This incident endangered the life of my 17 year old daughter. Neither bay Ford (repair facility ) nor Ford customer service would handle this under warranty.
