Electrical system: wiring: fuses and circuit breakers
- What is wrong
- These vehicles were built with the non-cycling power window circuit breaker and the cycling headlamp circuit breaker interchanged.
- Risk
- In the event of a short or overload in the headlampcircuit, both headlamps can go out without warning, rather than flashing as intended with the cycling circuit breaker. This could lead to reduced night time driver visibility, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect these vehicles, remove the circuit breaker and reinstall the breaker in the correct locations.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Dt: contact states on 7-26-05 1995 crown victoria caught on fire. Smoke and fire came from the hazard switch and the directional signal switches. On 1-16-04 signals would not work so she had a multi-functional switch put on. The covering on the steering column were destroyed and all of the wiring inside had to be replaced. The fire department. Was not called.
The front suspension ball joints were replaced at my cost. They had started squeaking and were worn badly. My mechanic suggests that the entire front suspension be rebuilt for safety because ford does not have grease joints on any these parts. When the horn button was pushed for longer than a few seconds, it used to blow the fuse. The last time it did this, it also disabled the cruise control. I was told by my mechanic the only fix was to replace the steering column where these wires were shorting together internally.
Headlight lenses constantly turn yellow and cloudy, power window regulator cables constantly snap, excessive play in steering wheel, horn buttons too small and inconvienient and pop out at times, egr chamber always clogs every 40k miles and causes stalling condition.
Horn is not loud enough and the horn buton is to small and hard to find when needed. In 1996 I noticed the button was changed by ford,so they knew it was a problem too. I think it should be replaced with a 1996 stering wheel or horn buttom assembly and the horn needs to be much louder.
