Consumer Description
THE REAR WIPER IN MY 2001 FORD FOCUS ZX3 STOPPED WORKING. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT 5 WIRES IN THE WIRING HARNESS GOING INTO THE HATCH LID HAD CRACKED INSULATION AND EXPOSED CONDUCTORS. ONE WIRE WAS COMPLETELY SEVERED. I HAVE USED ELECTRICAL TAPE TO TEMPORARILY RENDER THE SITUATION SAFE UNTIL I CAN MAKE A MORE PERMANENT REPAIR. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAN MANY OTHER 2001 FOCUS OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE EXPOSED CONDUCTOR CONSTITUTE A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. *JB
