While driving on highway in the dark, lights will go out without prior warning, consumer had to touch dimmer switch so that lights will come back on. Switch had been replaced before under warranty. But, currently was not working again, consumer fees if it gets fixed again, it will not work again later on.

Both headlights go out while driving, come back on within ten seconds. Occurs only once or twice in 3 to 4 month time frame. Ford and dealer can not help. Oiginally taken to dealer for repair on 5/16/97. Could not find problem. Ford customer service has no info related in their data base. Very serious problem. I haved tried to identify problem on my own (electrical engineer) but wiring diagrams do not explain the problem. I beleive there is a circuit breaker inline that does not show in the Ford wiring details for this truck. I cannot verify this thru Ford. Would have to tear truck appart to find.

Engine. Knocking rod at only 56,000 mi. Over $3,000 for new engine. Headlights failed to turn on before leaving driveway. Came on after turning on high beams and turn signals. On 4 separate occasions, I'm about to downshift to make a turn and the engine cuts off. No power steering, nearly lost control.

Headlights went out when using turn signal switch to signal lane change while overtaking slower moving vehicle at night. Headlights came back on after touching turn signal switch stalk. Switch stalk has excessive up-and-down play; able to reproduce incident at will by slightly moving switch stalk up (toward steering wheel). Vehicle now at dealer for repair.
