The headlight switch & wiring connector was previously under recall(ref: the federal safety agency campaign id # 98v009000). The recalled part was replaced(at an authorized ford/mercury service center) under the original recall, but the replacement part has failed too, causing the headlight switch connector to melt from the heat of the failed part. I feel ford/mercury should reopen the recall and refund my money for the repair/replacement of the headlight switch and connector, which was done at an authorized ford/mercury service center.
