THE HARNESS AT THE ALTERNATOR HAS CAUGHT FIRE TWICE AND I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR THREE TIMES IN TWO YEARS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT STARTS SMOKING AND SUET COMES OUT AND YOU THINK THE CAR IS GOING TO BLOW UP. IT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. THE MECHANIC FOUND SERVICE BULLENTIN ARTICLE #96-21-4 WHICH DESCRIBES THIS. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. I AM VERY DISTRUBED. PLEASE HELP ME.*AK

IN THE U.S. MILITARY STATIONED IN EUROPE. FUEL PUMP AND RELAY MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE INSTALLING NEW FUEL PUMP AND RELAY, THE FORD TECHNICIAN FOUND THE WIRING HARNESS PROVIDING CURRENT TO THE PUMP WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED OR WAS A FAULTY DESIGN. IT HAD CHAFFED THROUGH THE HARNESS CASING EXPOSING THE CHARRED AND MELTED WIRES INSIDE. SUBSEQUENT CHAFFING OF INNER WIRES CAUSED A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT AND MELTING OF THE WIRES THEMSELVES. DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE SHORT, AN EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR IF FUEL VAPORS ARE PRESENT. THE TECHNICIAN WAS SURPRISED IT HAD NOT EXPLODED. THIS VEHICLE HAS A CURRENT RECALL FOR OTHER FUEL SYSTEM DEFECTS. A COMBINATION OF THE 2 COULD BE DEADLY IF THE OWNER IN UNAWARE OF EITHER PROBLEM AREA. I HAVE AND WILL RETAIN THE HARNESS FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION IF NEEDED. *AK
