Multi-function switch which controls windsheild washers and wipers has failed 5 times in less than 5 years and the result of the failure is the inability to activate the washer system. At any given time, if the windsheild becomes fouled, I do not know if I will be able to clean it or if my vision will be seriously impaired.
1997 Ford Expedition lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Foil backing of mirror I peeling, bubbling. This does not provide a reflection for viewing. All makes from 1997-1999 ford vehicles that have the flasher built in the mirror are experiencing this and ford only replaces under warranty.
The door ajar light and dome light comes on and stays on for 1 hour+ and the running board lights also stay on. Been back to dealer 4 times and still no solutions.
While traveling on the interstate at night at approximately 65mph, I switch the headlights from high beam to low beam and the headlights went out completely. The only way I could see to drive was to hold the wiper, headlight dimmer arm fully to the rear. This item was replaced under warranty after it defected once before.
Headlights will not function. Told mechanic cannot locate problem.
Whenever vehicle ajar light remains on it causes the interior courtesy light to come on while driving intermittently. Vehicle power would have to be turned off to get the courtesy light to turn off. Dealer notified.
The door jam switch failed to work properly. The switch sensors thinks door is open when it's not. Also, dome light in front would remain on & would run the battery down. Took vehicle to dealership & mechanic indicated the problem was repairable, but not under warranty.
The "door ajar" signal keeps coming up on my display panel - when this happens, the interior lights come on and won't go off for 30-45 seconds. At night this is a serious hazard because neither I or my teenage children who drive it can see safely. I'm having the part replaced tomorrow but would like to be reimbursed. The service man at my local ford dealer told me they are seeing this problem a lot. It seems to me that an investigation needs to be made. Thank you.
Windshield wipers works intermittently. The multiple function switch in the steering column has short circuit.
Multi-function switch/wiper faile.
