“I have a 99 Ford expedition. Tail lights, brake lights, hazard lights, and rear wiper works when they want to work. Taken it to service shop, cannot duplicate problem. Take it bake when it does it again, shop replaces junction box (fuse box). It is happening again as I write this, and is not working again. Shop doesn't seem to know the problem.”
