Left front headlight no longer has power. Checked headlight assembly for power continuity. Problem seems to be in wiring to headlight assembly or from from fuse box. Not sure exactly when it failed but replacement of lamp lead to further diagnostic since lamp worked when placed in right front.
Vehicle was parked (out of town weekend) when starting up to go home it totally shut down, light came stating something about coolant temperature and I had no power what so ever. Got towed to Ford, only had vehicle since Feb. 2017, saudered and reconnected some wiring that they said was chewed by some critter, I. E. Mouse. $360. Later. After doing my own research I see wiring is being being covered in some soy coating and seats are made with other products that can lure critters. I don't understand and feel why should I pay that out of pocket.
The air bag light on the dash came on. I took it into the Ford dealership and they claimed that the wiring harness under the seat was crushed , supposedly by an empty jelly jar that was under neath the seat on the drivers side. I have the jelly jar and its not even broken . Ford claims its my fault and to get in touch withmy insurance company which I have but since the light (airbag ) light has come on, my seat doesn't work does not move back or forward and the light that tells if if the seat belt is fastened doesn't work. I haven't heard back from my insurance company but im wondering if more Fusion owners than just me have had this problem with the wiring harness and if the problem is due to the location of the wiring harness rather than the jelly jar which is unbroken. I am a 72 year old woman and although im slightly overweight , I cannot imagine how my weight and the jelly jar could disable the whole case. It doesn't look crushed but I'm taking it to my mechanic tomorrow and having him take the seat out and look at the wiring harness. The vehicle was stationary when the light came on about a week ago.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. During weather changes, the electronic vent function failed to work each year. The dealer was not notified. An independent mechanic replaced the pig wiring, resistor, and blower motor four times, but the failure continued. The windshield failed to defrost, the vent controls failed to function for the heat, and the contact had a loss of visibility and electronic function to warm the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
