A short in wiring causing horn to go out while driving. Dealer notified.
After inspection of vehicle, mechanic noticed that main ground wiring was hanging which could result in a short circuit or possible fire. *ak dealer found main ground cable disconnected.
I was driving down the highway and all of a sudden the engine starts to make a popping sound. I pulled over and raised the hood. The #3 spark plug had blown out from its seating in the cylinder head. I had the truck towed to the dealer and they replaced the cylinder head. This is a known problem and could be very dangerous because of the location of the fuel injection rail. The sparkplug is located directly below the fuel rail. If the spark plug comes loose and it flies into the fuel rail, the rail could burst causing fuel to spray inside the engine compartment igniting a fire. The spark plug problem was taken care of by ford, however nothing was done to guard the fuel rail.
While driving, vehicle lost all electrical power. A wire was burned at the alternator. Dealer stated voltage regulator overloaded alternator.*ak
While traveling on the interstate at approx. 60 MPH, the engine shut off and the dashboard gauges and odometer went blank. I was not able to restart the engine and the vehicle had to be towed from the travel lane of the highway. The ford dealer that the vehicle was towed to, stevens ford in milford, ct claims that there is a open wire in the dashboard wiring.
