| With the truck being off, smoke was rising out of the steering column. investigation revealed that wires leading to the turn signal switch had shorted, causing the wires and wire connectors to heat, smoke and partially melt. the cruise control stopped working, the windshield wipers now operate continuously without being commanded, the turn signals do not work and the flashers operate continuously. *cn | |||

| On 3/24/07, our 1994 f150 truck caught fire in our parking lot at approximately 10:25pm. the fire was reported to ford consumer affairs along with pictures of the incident. a recall was recently performed on the truck. ford consumer affairs notified me on 4/19/07 that the truck was too badly damaged to determine root cause and that they would not pursue replacement cost. can you review and determine what caused the fire? *tr | |||
