16 reports1995 FORD EXPLORER EDDIE BAUER. HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, FOUND OUT THROUGH RESEARCH THAT IT IS THE LAMP OUTAGE MODULE LOCATED IN THE CONSOLE OF THE CAR. ALMOST STARTED A FIRE, COMPLETELY MELTED MODULE AND AFFECTED OTHER AREAS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VERY DANGEROUS AND NO RECALL THAT I CAN FIND. PART IS DEALER ONLY AND 90.00. *KB

DRIVER'S SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAS A BULB SENSING SYSTEM, AND ISSUED A WARNING TO CHECK THE HEADLAMPS. I REPLACED BULB, BUT IT STILL DID NOT WORK. A DAY LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT ALSO FAILED, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS. AFTER LOOKING FOR A FUSE OR WIRING PROBLEM, I FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A RATHER COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS AND SIMILAR VEHICLE MODELS, AND HAS BEEN INDIRECTLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN A TSB, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. TO ME THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED MORE PROACTIVELY. *TR

I HAVE A 1995 FORD EXPLORER WHICH THE HEADLIGHT SENSOR CONTINUOUSLY GOES BAD WHICH WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE IF THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK WITHOUT IT. WHEN THIS SENSOR, WHICH HAS GONE BAD TWICE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, FAILS I SHOULD NOT BE MADE AWARE OF THIS UNTIL THE HEADLIGHT GOES BAD AND THE SENSOR DOES NOT ALERT ME. WHEN THE SENSOR GOES BAD I GET AN INDICATION THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT AND WHEN REPLACED THEY ARE STILL OUT BECAUSE THE TRUE PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR HAS GONE BAD. HOW A SENSOR GOES BAD WHEN IT STILL SENSES THE LAMP NOT FUNCTIONING IS BEYOND ME. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFICIENCY IN MY OPINION AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RECALLING THIS ITEM DUE TO THE OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE SENSORS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER AND REPLACED WITH A SENSOR THAT IF IT WERE TO FAIL WOULD NOT AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE HEADLIGHTS. *NM

HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES WERE ORIGINALLY CLEAR PLASTIC BUT HAVE AGED NOT VERY WELL TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE OPAQUE (CLOUDY) AND I FEEL THE LIGHT OUTPUT HAS DIMINISHED CONSIDERABLY BELOW ORIGINAL LUMEN LEVELS. I HAVE NOTICED MAJORITY OF FORD PRODUCTS THAT ARE OVER 3-4 YEARS OF AGE HAVE CLOUDED PLASTIC HEADLAMPS. CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALS SLIGHT CRAZING OF THE PLASTIC OUTER SURFACE AS WELL AS GENERAL DULLNESS OF THE PLASTIC.*AK
NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK
HIGH-MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT FOUND INOPERABLE DURING NC SAFETY INSPECTION. ESTIMATE OF REPLACEMENT IS OVER $350.00. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE A LONGER LIFETIME GIVEN THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. ARE THERE ANY MANUFACTURER REIMBURSEMENTS AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT?*AK

THIS INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT CONSOLE FIRES IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES MOST OFTEN OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE LAMP OUTAGE MODULE (LOM), WHICH IS PART OF THE MESSAGE CENTER, WERE TOWING A TRAILER AND WHICH HAD BEEN MODIFIED BY ADDING AN AFTERMARKET TRAILER WIRING HARNESS INTO THE VEHICLE'S TAILLIGHT CIRCUITS.THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES NEVER AND MORE THAN OTHER TRAILER LIGHT BULB TO ONE CIRCUIT HOWEVER TRAILERS FREQUENTLY CONTAIN SEVERAL BULBS.THE RESULTING EXCESS CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE LOM COULD CAUSE IT TO OVERHEAT RESULTING IN A FIRE.PROPER AFTERMARKET INSTALLATION OF TRAILER WIRING REQUIRES THE USE OF A BYPASS MODULE, WHICH OBTAINS POWER FOR THE TRAILER LIGHTS DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY RATHER THAN FROM THE VEHICLE'S TAIL LIGHT AND STOP LAMP CIRCUITS, OR THE USE OF THE MANUFACTURER'S WIRING HARNESS.IN A LETTER DATED SEPTEMBER 2, 1997, FORD NOTIFIED ODI THAT IT INTENDS TO TAKE ACTION TO PRECLUDE FURTHER INCIDENTS INCLUDING ISSUING A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO ITS DEALERS, NOTIFYING TRAILER RENTAL ASSOCIATIONS AND AGENCIES WHERE KNOWN, AND ADVISING OWNERS BY LETTER OF THE PROPER METHOD FOR CONNECTION OF TRAILER TOW WIRING ON THE SUBJECT VEHICLES.THERE WAS NO DEFECT TREND IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES IDENTIFIED AS A RESULT OF THIS INVESTIGATION, AND FURTHER EXPENDITURE OF AGENCY RESOURCES IS NOT WARRANTED TO CONTINUE THE INVESTIGATION.
