Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / May 20062000 Ford Expedition Engine Fire Pictures
My 2000 Ford Expedition suffered an engine fire due to the faulty cruise control deactivation device that shorted and ignited the master brake cylinder. To see my pictures of my totalled SUV click on the link below. :( http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Ford-Expedition-Engine-Fire/index.html And thats why you should never park any cars that are affected by the recall in your garage > My 2000 Ford Expedition suffered an engine fire due to the faulty > cruise control deactivation device that shorted and ignited the master [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Ford-Expedition-Engine-Fire/index.html > My 2000 Ford Expedition suffered an engine fire due to the faulty > cruise control deactivation device that shorted and ignited the master [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Ford-Expedition-Engine-Fire/index.html So when that letter came in the mail from Ford, telling you to disconnect the switch, why didn't you do it? -- David M (dmacchiarolo) http://home.triad.rr.com/redsled T/S 53 sled351 Linux 2.4.18-14 has been up 2 days 12:57 > So when that letter came in the mail from Ford, telling you to > disconnect the switch, why didn't you do it? Good point. The letter when out over a year ago ( http://199.79.180.163/prepos/files/Artemis/Public/Recalls/2005/V/RCONL-05V017-19 29.PDF ). Regards, Ed White In the captions around the pictures, the OP states that one of the firemen, and then his insurance adjuster told him about the recall.

Whitelightning Could be. But, other than in this newsgroup, I'd never heard of it either. I have three trucks that the recall covers and I've never received a notice either. I bought them all new. My cousin, on the other hand, has a truck that doesn't fall under the recall, and he got a letter.

I never got a letter, but remember seeing it posted in here a while back. However, I forgot about it and never did anything. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to get it in to the dealer for a while due to work reasons. I do remember there being a video posted that showed the disconnect process and that it would take 10 seconds to do. Does anyone have that link so I can do it myself? That way, I can sleep safe at night since my truck is in my garage. (gulp!) I can then make an appointment as soon as time permits to get the patch/adapter/fix they came up with. Thanks!

FYI - The pictures are from July 2005. So this did not just happen. I never received the recall notice, just as someone else in this thread mentioned. I owned the SUV for less than a year, and I never heard about the recall. :( >>In the captions around the pictures, the OP states that one of the > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Then the guy must be living in a cave. Alright, alright, alrighty! That was enough to remind me to book my appointment. LOL. I'm going in on Saturday, if the truck hasn't burned my house down by then. Ford sent me a notice that the parts were in two months ago but I was working out of town in March. They say I'll be in and out in a half hour. Anyone been that lucky?

I haven't seen the fix but I believe they just add some inline fuses to the circuit.

I pulled into the dealership lot, the service manager came out and plugged in the new module and tie-wrapped it in place. Didn't even have to drive the truck into one of the bays. I was gone in about 4 minutes. Probably would have been much faster if I had parked a little closer to the door of the service entrance. Cheers, Lawrence Shoulda took the damn thing in. It only takes 20 min. >>Alright, alright, alrighty! That was enough to remind me to book my >>appointment. LOL.

I'll park right in front of the door. Maybe I can get away in 3 minutes.

Same deal as for Lawrence, but it took 2 minutes longer. On the other hand I guess I could say it was done 24 minutes before I was due to show up. For anyone who hasn't done this yet: Take it by the dealership, it is free and entirely painless. Stephen N. |
