The contact owns a 2005 Ford Econoline van. While driving at an unknown speed, the fuses began to short out electrical components in the vehicle. The dealer stated that there was a piece of metal located in the fuse rack that touched the wiring harness and caused the electrical wiring to short. The contact was concerned with the safety of not having the wiring harness properly covered, which could potentially cause more electrical failures or a fire. The manufacturer informed the dealer to place the wiring harness back to its original state. There was no type of protection or covering over the wiring harness. The VIN was unknown. The current and failure mileages were less than 50,000.
