Vehicle Description: Mini vans. These vehicles were produced with a higher
than specified electrical load through the accessory power feed circuit. The
potential for contact between the B2 (battery), A2 (accessory), and P1 (proof)
circuits can occur, creating a short circuit, allowing current to flow through
the ground wire.
This can cause over heating and the potential for a vehicle fire.
Dealers will install a jumper harness with a relay which will re-route and
activate all A2 accessories through the relay.
Owner notification began March 15, 1999. Owners who take their vehicles to an
authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free
remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also
