My 2006 F150 Ford lariat. It started with the front map light are some light not sure what it's called. It would come on by itself just sitting still with engine off. And no one in the truck. It would do this all hours of day and night. Then the door jar light came on going down the hwy. And would not go off. We stop to check all does and they all was shut. It stays on and want go off. Then with all that going on all my power windows stop working. They was working fine but when the dime light problem. And the door a jar light on when you get in the truck and turn key on. I have talk to people that own a Ford and most all Ford's have had this problem. I also have googled these problems and a lot of people have had the same problems. But it hasn't been any recall on these problems. It really needs to be a recall for these problems on Ford's. it's a electrical problem.

Ford F-150 FX4 140,000.0 miles. Brake light has been on for several years starting around 2010 with 76,000.0 miles. The brakes were replaced and flushed multiple times since the problem started. Replaced brake cable E-brake switch etc... everything points to the cluster and there are multiple websites the verify the same exact problem with the brake light beginning from 2004-2010. In some states this is an indpectable item adding additional and mandatory repairs to be made. The cluster repair part cost anywhere from $400-$600 and with labor could run well over $1000 pending on the model of the F-150. My bottom line is that this issue has gone without a recall from Ford or the NHTSA.

Interior lights do not light up on opening the door. Additionally, upon starting the engine, the electrical panel blinks, fizzles, demands reset, which doesn't reset, and eventually corrects itself sometimes after 15 minutes of blinking. Additionally, the high beams implement and then you cannot make the high beams turn off. May all be related but, seems like 3 separate issues, all seem to be related to the electrical panel. Blinking begins while stationary upon starting truck and continues while in motion, indicates problem with everything electrical including speedometer and states auto locks fail, along with blinking failure of all systems stating reset but pushing reset does not appear to fix anything.....only time fixes it.

Takata recall. For three years of electrical issues, beeping electrical dash panel and lights in truck hardly ever work. The trucks dependability at moment isn't great due to these issues. Can't afford a new truck at time being.. this truck Transport my toddlers around. This typically happens when turning on car and opening doors we never see lights on. It does happen also when driving at random times. Not sure if it has anything to do with stopping or turning. Will happen at any rate of speed.

Smart junction box failed. Causing interior, dash and back lights not to light and including the horn not to work. When trying to replace the fuse it would blow the fuse and smoke. It is in the shop now to have the smart junction box replaced. Fuses started blowing. At first it was the radio and the fuse was replaced then the others started to blow.

The front turn signals on many new cars are not visible from a cross street at all in the sun, the far signal is not visible because it is so far back it should be called a side marker light. Get them back up front where they are useful !! also the driving lights that are now are not dims, but are being used as such. Not so many years ago, you would have been stopped for driving with auxiliary lights on!!
