Consumer Description

FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOES NOT INSTALL THE FUSE NECESSARY TO OPERATE THE TOWING HARNESS LAMPS ON THE 2002 F150. LOCAL FORD DEALER INSTALLED A FUSE AND THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE PIN BENEATH THE FUSE BOX WAS BENT. THE FUSE BOX HAD TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE PIN AND THEN RE-INSTALLED. FORD REFUSED TO COVER THE COST ($200.00) SAYING THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. CONTENTION IS THAT THIS EITHER CAME FROM THE FACTORY THIS WAY OR THE DEALER BENT THE PIN WHEN THEY INSTALLED THE FUSE. NEITHER FORD MOTOR COMPANY OR THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. THE BENT PIN MADE THE PARKING LAMPS INOPERABLE WHICH WOULD BE HAZARDOUS FOR TOWING ANYTHING AT NIGHT. *TR
