problem #1

Oct 052003

Continental 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles
Intermittent problem: Automatic driver seat does not respond when door is closed. Dome light will not go off and doors will not lock even when manually locked. Display shows door open message. When these features do work, there is an approx. 5 second delay. Local Ford dealership can't find the problem. Much money spent with no results. What can I do to fix this problem?
