Ignition Module problems of the 1999 Ford F-150

Water entering through cowling (the slotted metal piece between the hood and the wind screen) leaks into the passenger compartment on the driver side and onto the ignition components causing a short circuit of these parts. These parts are the fuse box(cjb), generic electronic module(gem) power distribution box(pdb) and other electroic parts and wire connectors. The parts thet do not fail will corrode and cause intermittent electrical problems. For example, ac/heater fan and turn signals will continue to operate without key in the ignition. Dome light and wind screen wipers will start and stop without being physically turned on. The engine will not start or it can stop without turning off the ignition switch. The repair is all affected parts must be cleared of corrision or replaced at consumer cost and the leak must be found and sealed. Ford has a service bulletin #16928 dated 6/27/03 on this covering F-150's from 1997 to 2003. This should be considered dangerous and there needs to be a manufacturer recall for this.

Vehicle is a 1999 Ford F-150 and it has approx. 54,000 miles on it. The evening of March 3 the truck began to run weird and it began to not run correctly. The morning after I brought it to a reair garage and the computer showed that there was a detination in the motor. The ignition coil was bad the mechanic informed me that he needed to replace all eight coils. This cost me 905 dollars. I don't believe that this problem should have occured because it has lower mles. I would like to know if this is an occuring problem with the 5. 4 triton v8. I'm not happy with the money that I had to put into my truck, I bought a newer vehicle to waive some cost of vehicle repairs but this was a rediculous amount for a repair.
