I am concerned about the electrical systems : ie the recall for the driver seat wiring harness and also has possible symptoms of recall on 1994 taurus, lincoln and mercury malfunction ing circuit breaker causing headlights to flash intermittenliy. since i bought my car in oct. of 98 i have had problem with my radio picking up motor noises, if i turned on my brights then at some point all headlights would go off, and now, beginning 01/99 my headlights go on and off at random whether the car is moving or idling. i have not taken it to the mechanic due to the fact the $1500 extended warranty that they sold me does not cover electrical problems so now i turn to you for help to see if other owners have experienced the same problems. thank you | |||
