Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
Headlight switch became erratic. When switch was removed for replacement , I became aware of the harness block being melted and cracked around 6 of the 9 wires. There has been other problems with the aerostar relating to current draw in other portions of their harness. To me this is a safety issue and I was very dissappointed to find ford quite unconcerned when I contacted their customer assistance line.
Headlight switch has failed on 2 occasions where either the headlights or the taillights will not work together. -- wiper switch does not always work sometimes the intermittent setting works and sometimes not and sometimes the high low settings will not work. Have there been other complaints?
Our automatic head lights have worked off and on .off more than on.we never had any problems and loved our minivan untill yesterday it started making a funny noise ,and we found out that the crankshaft was broken.when a you own a newer model vehicle you expect ,and it brakes down for the first time you expect an alternater/starter and ,battery,etc,but not a broken crankshaft.
Driving at night, the high beam headlight heat load caused shorting at the multifunction relay assembley lights shorted out and car filled with dense smoke. Vehicle had to be stopped in the middle of the road at night without lights. Emegency repairs had to be made before car could be moved to save location. Temporay repairs were than made to eliminate the short were the wires enter the multifunction relay (required dissasembly of steering column shroud). Charring of the wiring assembly resulted in inaderquate insulation between circuits causing instrument, wiper and head light failure. Work done involving safety recall99s02 has reactivated the short leaving the car unsafe to drive. The car is currently at babbit ford po box bb flagstaff 86002 (520) 774-5063 pending resolution of this safety issue.
While traveling headlights would shut off without indications. Please provide further information.
