1992 Ford F-150 Electrical system Problems

“I was driving my Ford F-150 1992 and I stopped at lowes. I cut my truck off and proceeded into the store. I come back outside and my truck was on fire. Several employees attempted to put out the fire but it did not work. The fire department had to come and put it out. They then stated that it was due to an electrical problem and filled it as that. My work is now gone due to that and I don't know what to do. If possible please help me because I don't know what to do. My truck is my money maker and now it is gone.”

“While driving smelled smoke, pulled over and lifted hood and saw flames. Cause was unknown. Consumer states that there is a short within the electrical system causing the alternator to fail, in the winter when turning on the heater, the heater fan, lights and other electrical components die, the dealer has replaced many alternators, a starter, 2 batteries and a u belt.”

“Engine dies at speeds of under 10miles per hour. Have just replaced the alternator in the last 5 days and now I'm having all of this trouble. Is it true that there is a recall on this model truck because of the pressure regulator ? The transmission slams into gear rather than smoothly shifting, also acts like it is trying to get into two or more gears at the same time. If you can help please do so. Thanks.”

“Consumer states whiile driving, the vehicle surged forward, steering wheel was turned to right and then it locked. Consumer had applied brakes but could not slow down vehicle. It kept going in circles. Passenger's door opened, vehicle hit another vehicle. Key came out off ignition at the beginning, consumer was able to put key back in ignition and shut off vehicle. Also the ignition key cylinder was replaced.”

“Front fuel tank pump making whining noise after only 35000 miles of shared service.notified dealer and was told that problem is a common one. Premature failure could cause vehicle to stall in dangerous situation. Ignition switch switch assembly malfunction made it difficult to remove key or to put key back into ignition. Also key will not go into accessory position.”
