| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Problem with loss of all directional and abs/brake indicator on dashboard on my 2004 ford ranger pickup. when pulling out of stop onto a main thoroughfare, my directional quit working as i made the turn. i tried to click them manually, but to no avail...at the same time as i lost my directional, my abs/brake failure indicators illuminated on the dashboard. not only was i not able to signal a turn (at 20:00 hours), but other drivers could not see my hand signals because it was so dark. in the process of trying to make a turn (to return home), another driver honked at me (for lack of turn indication) and cut me off, causing me to jam on my brakes. with no abs available, i of course started to slide. i quickly let off the brake pedal to manually pump my brakes to slow down. i brought the vehicle to the local ford dealership the following day. the report from the dealership is as follows; customer reports abs light on', 'customer reports all directional inoperable. verified concern. found fuse #20-10amp blown, replaced fuse, blew again. found wiring on frame rail corroded and short to ground. repaired and checked, all ok'. *jb |
