Wiring Harness Problems???
So my truck was hesitating the other day so I figured that there was a coil problem... well I got it there and they said that It ended up being a wiring harness that was rubbing on something and eventually shorted out one of my coils. Fine. now here's my question... I bought the truck used with 37k on it (its an '05) in february. I bought the 1800 buck extended warranty for 4 years and the dealership is telling me that this wouldnt be covered in my warranty???
Need some advise please.

Is your extended warranty a Ford ESP warranty? According to the folks over at Ford ESP it's up to the dealer as to whether something should be covered (that's what ESP told me when I called them on a separate issue).
I'd say try another dealer if your dealer won't provide coverage. Although they might be counting this issue as "normal wear and tear".

yes its a ford warranty... and I kinda wish I would have done my research because I paid 1800 bucks for the warranty and on fords website I cant find one more than 840... equivalent to what I have of course. I sell Floors and the owner wants a new one so Im hoping she will make something happen tomorrow....

But whats not "normal wear and tear" I bought the extra warranty aswell but I'm thinking I shouldn't have. I would think your problem should be covered unless you installed something that changed the location of the wiring then it would be your problem.

Did they tell you that's why they won't cover it, because you installed an AMP?
I know two people that have worked at that dealer and no longer do (one a mechanic the other in Finance) because they didn't like the way it was run.

I think it would if I kept my foot off it, but the exhaust sounds so good and performance is so much better that I get on it waaay to often. But, my mileage is holding at pre-modification levels of around 12.5 to 13 mixed and 16-17 hwy. However, at $3.60+ for the 93 Octane, we're screwed...like the Rockets
