“Electrical problems with 2001 Ford expedition. First noticed that the heater fan stayed running after ignition was shut off. Then, during a stormy winter, the wipers, lights, radio, windows, and keypad entrance all stopped working--sometimes together, other times separately. Forced to pull-off the road on more than one occasion and turn-off and start or restart the vehicle until problem stopped. My keypad entrance and rear wiper still aren't right. These problems only occur intermittently and during bad weather. …”
