1999 Ford Explorer Exterior lighting Problems

“I need to know what causes the electric to go haywire. The overhead lamp clicks on and off the driver door lock doesn't work completely. The driver window does not work correctly. Some of my gauges will decide not to work sometimes and then other times we'll be fine. My radio clock does not work. All happens the same whether I'm driving or not whether I'm parked with the engine running or not. I can't figure out anything it's causing this”

“The electrical on my vehicle is bad. My radio lights flash, none of my doors open from te inside and only roll down windows from diver switcth; gas gayge only reads empry although I j ust put 30 dollars in the tank.”

“There were smoke from steering column. To be exact, from hazards button on top of steering column behind steering. It happened several times but only few seconds and stop. My garage mechanic changed assembly with turn signal wiper switch and I think fixed it. It is scary since it happened while driving high speed.”

“Turned on left turn signal, blinker flashed 3 times then went steady, upon going steady smoke began coming out of the emergency flasher switch on the steering column. Car was stopped in traffic when this happened. Upon turning signal switch to off position smoke stops. This only happens when the vehicle is stopped and does not happen when left turn signal is activated while the vehicle is moving. Is my vehicle going to catch on fire? Was there a recall we were not notified of?”

“While stopped in traffic, turned on left turn signal, the signal blinked 3 times then smoke came from the emergency blinker switch on the steering column and the turn signal became a steady light. I placed the turn signal switch in the off position and turned it back on, same thing happened. However, if I turn on the turn signal while the car is moving, this does not happen. This situation happened 3 times this day and has not repeated. My husband checked the car later in the day and was not able to get this to repeat.”
