2000 Lincoln Navigator, radio flashes on and off with vehicle off, and windshield wipers are not working, after vehicle has been sitting off for a couple hours, there is a loud noise coming from under the hood on the passenger side under the windshield, open the vehicle door and A/C is blowing full blast and radio is flashing on and off again smells like something is burning and caused a minor fire. Looked up recall information and Ford states that our vehicle is not listed under the recall# 01S24, although it shows our model year along with a majority of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. This is the same problem that happened with the 2000 Ford Expedition NHTSA action# EA05015.
