1990 Ford F-150 Electrical System

THE WIRING HARNESS/ALTERNATOR PLUG CONNECTION IS KNOWN TO SHOW REPEATED INSTANCES OF BURNING,ARCING,MELTING AND VEHICLE FIRES. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS AFTER THIS PART CAUSED A SMALL FIRE IN OUR F150 FORD 1990 TRUCK ON SATURDAY, MAY 10, 2003. A NOTICE INFORMING US ABOUT THIS RECURRING PROBLEM CAME WITH THE NEW ALTERNATOR. THE WIRES/PLUG CONNECTION MELTED AND CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO START ON FIRE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE YOUR AGENCY TO LOOK INTO THIS HAZARD. *NLM

THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS RECALLED IN 1996 BECAUSE IT WAS A FIRE DANGER. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. ON JULY 28, 2000 THE IGNITION SWITCH AGAIN CAUGHT ON FIRE. AT THAT TIME CHAMPION FORD REFUSED TO REPLACE IT UNDER THE RECALL. THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. THE SAME PART THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED DID THE SAME THING THE RECALLED PART WAS DOING. THE CHAMPION FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE PART FOR FREE BUT THAT IT WOULD COST $198.00. AFTER A DISCUSSION THEY TOOK $50.00 OFF OF THE PRICE, WHICH BROUGHT THE COST DOWN TO $148.00.*AK
