DJ TOMMY B Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Ok folks you want a story of all stories well put your feet up and let me tell you. Took my TC to the local dealership for my every 6k oil change and tire rotation back in September and the service writer comes out to tell me the Tech working on my TC caused some damage to it and I better take a walk to the service bay and check it out. As i was walking towards it all I saw was the portion of the roof from the windshield to the top all crushed in, I stopped in my tracks and gathered my composer since I was leaving for a weekend trip to Toronto in 2hrs and I was taking the TC. It seems the Tech raised the TC up into the sensor bar and oopss I am now a owner of a messed up ride. The dealer gave a me a loner and fixed the damage but really left a bad taste in my mouth with the sense they really didn't care about the hassle this put me in, so when I had a FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING go on me at 37k a week later I took it to another FORD Dealership which fixed it under warranty and here is where it gets good. I couldn't put the car into drive while leaving the dealership since the fuse blew for the break lights, the service writer couldn't believe it and had the TECH bring the van back into the shop to figure out what the heck was going on. After 30mins they figured out the LED third break light was shorting out and thus causing the fuse to go out. What the heck would cause the LED third light to short out is the million dollar question for anybody out there because if this stuff is just the start I am not going to be a happy DJ.

The wiring for the third brake light routes along the side of the roof, as I remember... Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z71Mudder Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 kinda weird i had the same exact problem with one of are fleet transits do that today, luckly its still underwarrnty so im taking it in, but iv seen the 3rd brake light led strip burn out and it didnt pop the fuse, its just a stupid design cuz they only sell it as one whole pice instead of just the led bulb strip that u need to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
