The V10 actually is on the list. Yours isn't because sometime during the '03 run, Ford stopped using the Texas Instruments part that's having problems.

That's cool.....Thanks, Mike.

 

James... You sent me a msg, and asked me to PM or Email you (about headlights)... However, I can't as you have dis-allowed the two options.

Best you contact me. PM or Email IS allowed.

 

About 10 years too late and I just can't help but comment that Ford didn't wire in the TI part correctly. It wasn't a bad part.

 

Even after they knew the problem they continued to use the part in the same manner.

Just a week ago I saw an expedition burnt down next to a house in my town. Siding and gutters on the house are all melted, luckily it wasn't parked in the garage.

 

I don't follow.

What was ten years too late?

Ford used the part from at least 1999 through 2003, so there wasn't a ten year run of parts use.

The recall for the part goes back to 88.

I've gotten the notice for just about every ford I ever owned from my 92 crown vic to my 96 F250, 89 plow truck, 94.5 diesel work truck, 95 351 work truck, 96 351 work truck, 03 excursion, and I think some other car I don't even own.

 

Context! With context came clarity, thanks brother.

I wasn't sure how far back it went, that's why I qualified my sentence with "at least" and now that you've filled in the missing data, the blind man can say, "I see!"

I thought it went back to the mid-90's

Stewart

 

It is kind of surprising there wasn't a big stink risen over it like the media does with every other make.

 

Just goes to prove you shouldn't post when you're jet lagged. I saw your joined date of 2004 & assumed I'd found a late post.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

No worries. Some of us live in that state constantly!

Stewart

 

You mean we aren't living in the 90's any more? Where is my cordless phone!

 

Who needs a cordless, I got my cell!



Stewart

 

I am glad to say I never had the brick! lol But we did have the cell phones that had a cord and a base. People always had a hard time with understanding I was calling them from the boat while in the river. "Where are you?" lol

 

I just have to say THANK YOU for all the posts about the speed cutoff switch recall.
I saw them last night while trying to figure out why my 2001 X cruise light would never come on nor did the cruise control work. I saw the saturated mess all over the wiring harnesses under the master cylinder and couldn't figure out exactly how it got there. I called my local dealer and they had me come in ASAP and about an hour later my cruise control worked (with light) and no more worries about the fire issue.
