NHTSA recall 99V029000
Electrical System · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: These vehicles were produced with a higher than specified electrical load through the accessory power feed circuit. The potential for contact between the b2 (battery), a2 (accessory), and p1 (proof) circuits can occur, creating a short circuit, allowing current to flow through the ground wire.
Why it matters: This can cause over heating and the potential for a vehicle fire.
The fix: Dealers will install a jumper harness with a relay which will re-route and activate all a2 accessories through the relay.
