Consumer Description

THE STARTER MOTOR WAS ENGAGING WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING WITH THE KEY IN THE RUN POSITION. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO STOP IT. THE HEATER BLOWER, PARKING LIGHTS, DASH LIGHT AND GAUGES, KEY CHIME, AND RADIO WOULD TURN ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION. ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALER, THIS WAS ALL CAUSED BY WATER LEAKING IN FROM THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE FUSE BLOCK AND GEM MODULE TO SHORT OUT. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH WINDSHIELD LEAKS ON 2000 FORD F-150'S. THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE WINDSHIELD AND RESEAL IT AND REPLACE STARTER,FUSE BLOCK, AND GEM MODULE. THIS WINDSHIELD WAS ALSO RESEALED 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER IN 2000. *TR
