One problem related to trunk wiring has been reported for the 1996 Ford F-150. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Our truck caught on fire in the engine compartment at 4:00 in the morning. There was no after market wiring done on the truck. We bought the truck new, and have never had any trouble with it. This was not an insurance job. We took our full coverage off of it when we bought our car. The truck is available for an investigation.
