 Originally in dec 2004 while returning from a trip to st louis, mo i started having trouble with my abs light, my speedometer hand intermittently going back to zero and the vehicle coming out of cruise control. it was originally thought to be an abs brake problem so the speed sensor and the abs module were replaced. the next time i went out on the road for the 4th of july 2005 weekend, we got as far as charleston, sc and had to put the rv in the shop because the cruise control and speedometer were both malfunctioning; the vehicle would come out of cruise and the speedometer would intermittently go from the correct speed to zero. also the transmission seemed to be downshifting and upshifting at will. after that we brought the vehicle back to the house and parked it on the driveway. a couple weeks later i went out to move the vehicle and give it a wash job and clean it up a bit. it would not start upon examination i found that the power distribution box had some melted relays in it and the box itself was melted min a couple of places. we had to have a different wiring harness installed to get the vehicle running again. we felt that some of the ground wires had caused a short and that was what had melted the power distribution box. later we saw that the power distribution box is located just below the reservoir for the vehicle brake fluid. the last item that became functional was the cruise control after replacement of the fuse for the horn which is located in the power distribution box. then i saw where ford was doing a recall on their cruise control switches for several vehicles and since the econoline van is one of the vehicles that uses that cruise control switch, i feel that the econoline van should be included in the cruise control switch recall. my rv is on a ford econoline e350 van with a 460 cid v8 engine and an automatic transmission with overdrive. vin #1fdke30g1shb03713 registered in the name of jerry don mcatee in effingham county, georgia. *nm

 Vehicle was parked beside our house. it was a 95 four winds 5000 motorhome on a ford econoline chasis, chasis year was 1994. vehicle was not driven for 5 days prior to the fire. vehicle was plugged into electrical, but nothing was turned on or running. fire started in the dashboard area or just under the drivers seat. only other problem with unit was the multipurpose switch for the windshield wipers didn't work properly. we are still fighting with our insurance company to provide us with a cause of the fire. fire started at 3 am. our neighboor was asleep on his coach and heard a noise and looked out and saw flames coming from the front of the motorhome, he called 911, ran over to see if anybody was in, grabed the fire extinguisher, tried to put the fire out, than pounded on our door to get us up. fire dept. got there just as the fire started down the top and started burning the side of our house. we have to replace the siding on the house and windows, but it could have been much worse. class c motorhomes are not designed with escape routes if the fire starts in the engine area. had somebody been in the bed above the cab, they would have had to jump over the fire to get out. we had working smoke detectors, but the it burned very quickly. escape routes are the doors, and side windows, never planning to have to get out of the bed above in the event of a fire. this needs to be addressed by manufactures. truck campers provide an escape hatch over the bed. if this happened to us, the next time it could happen with somebody's grandkids in the bed with them having to jump over a very smokey fire to get out. *ak
