NHTSA Complaint #10160812 — 2002 FORD EXPEDITION

A FUSE BLEW & THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T GO UP. WHEN I REPLACED IT SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY FORD EXPEDITION 2002, EDDIE BOWER WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I TOOK OUT THE FUSE & TRIED TO BACK THE EXPEDITION OUT OF THE GARAGE BUT I COULDN'T TAKE IT OUT OF PARK. I PUT THE FUSE BACK IN & FLEW OUT OF THE GARAGE SMOKE AGAIN COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I TOOK OUT THE FUSE & OPEN THE HOOD. THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM A SENOR ON THE MASTER CYLINDER. I SPRAYED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON IT AND UNPLUGGED IT. I PUT IT IN THE SHOP & THEY CHANGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BRAKE SWITCH. THE SAME PART WAS RECALLED ON MY F150 XLT 2000 PICK-UP. MY CRUISE CONTROL & HORN WON'T WORK NOW & THE SHOP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG TO FIX BUT I CAN PUT THE FUSE IN & THE WINDOWS GO UP & DOWN, & WE CAN DRIVE IT. THE SHOP SAID THAT WHEN THIS PART GOES OUT IT LETS A CHARGE FEED BACK TO THE GROUND SIDE & CAN CAUSE FIRES. IT IS THE SAME PART AS WAS RECALLED ON MY PICK-UP! *NM
