| 1994 | STEERING:COLUMN | APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE "CLOCKSPRING" IN THE STEERING COLUMN OF THE 1994 FORD F-150. WHEN THIS BREAKS, AS IT APPARENTLY OFTEN DOES, THERE IS AN OPEN CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE AIR BAG & THE SENSORS RENDERING THE AIRBAG INOPERABLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE MANUFACTURER YET, ONLY THE DEALER. I JUST WANTED OTHERS TO KNOW OF THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD. I FOUND A FORUM ON A GOOGLE SEARCH ON MY PROBLEM (1994 FORD F-150 FLASHING A CODE 32). WITH PARTS & LABOR THIS IS GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY $250.00 TO REPAIR. FORD TRUCK ENTHUSIASTS FORUMS SUBJECT: "94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" NON-MEMBER "94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" I JUST BOUGHT A 1994 FORD F150 EXT. CAB 4X4 AT AN AUCTION FOR 7700. RUNS AND LOOKS GREAT BUT HAS WIRING PROBLEM. NO CRUISE OR HORN, AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS, BLINKERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, INT. LIGHT COMES ON DIM WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, NO STEREO, AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READS FAR LEFT AT LOW IDLE BUT FINE OTHERWISE. NON-MEMBER 1. "RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU, BUT I FEEL YOUR PAIN. MY AIR BAG LIGHT JUST STARTED FLASHING A CODE 32 (OR 23). MY CRUISE-CONTROL AND HORNS ALSO QUIT WORKING. I'LL LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING WHEN I GET MINE FIXED. GOOD LUCK. NON-MEMBER 3. "RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" I'VE GOT MUCH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 94 LIGHTNING. NO HORN, NO CRUISE, AIR BAG 32 CODE. SOME ONE TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE SLIP RINGS. ANY UPDATES? CLUB FTE MEMBER 5. "RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" NO HORN, CRUISE, AIR BAG LIGHT ON. REPLACE CLOCKSPRING. 7. RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE FOR SOME REASON ALL THE TRUCKS WE HAVE OWNED FROM 92 ON UP SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN WITH WIRING. NON-MEMBER 8. "RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" I HAVE THE SAME TRUCK. THE CLOCK SPRING WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. MY TRUCK IS GOING ON ITS THIRD CLOCK SPRING. ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DEALER THEY ARE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CLOCK SPRINGS AND THEY ARE SELLING A LOT OF THEM. *LA |
| 2005 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | ON OCT 5, 2009 I LEFT FOR LUNCH AT 1:00 PM TO GO TO LUNCH STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THE AIRBAG HIT MY LEG AND BURNED MY LEG. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP RANDALL NOE IN TERRELL TEXAS ON OCT 24, 2009 AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD RUN SOME TESTS AND LET ME KNOW WHETHER THEY WOULD REPAIR IT OR NOT AND IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT MADE UP THEIR MINDS WHETHER THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT OR NOT. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS NOW AND THEY CAN'T MAKE UP THEIR MIND WHETHER THEY WANT TO FIX IT OR NOT. I AM TIRED OF BEING JERKED AROUND AND NOT BEING TOLD WHAT WILL BE DONE. THEY TOOK THE STEERING WHEEL APART BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY COULD TELL WHAT MADE IT DEPLOY BUT AFTER DOING THAT NOW THEY SAY THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHY IT DEPLOYED. THEY TOLD ME I COULD COME PICK IT UP AND DRIVE AROUND WITH NO AIRBAG UNTIL THEY MAKE A DECISION. *TR |
