Anyone know if this ONLY includes Transits built before that August date? Our Transit was built on 11/01. Hoping we aren't waiting until after the first of the year!
Drainage hole was drilled!
I suspect wet snowy boots, side walk salt, yadda all play a role. Snow melts once in the cab, add a little salt, and it will find a low spot. If that low spot also houses a module then you have an issue.
A wire than can carry 7 Amp's doesn't seem like much current. At 12V, that still can produce 70W of heat at a connection (the other 14W is heat along the wire).
Datsun Roadster's, and Datsun 510's, had fused wires to cigarette lighters. Both suffered from self igniting when the electrical connections got hot. Enough corrosion and current passing though them. Dim headlights or a cigarette lighter than didn't seem to work right. I know of more than few fires that started when the cars were parked in the garage. Hence Fords comment "park out side". That way they are only liable for the vehicle, and your house burning down.
It is a series of "little things". I suspect wet locations with delivery drivers in and out the van . Think UPS residential neighborhoods in wet locations. Salt for ice, oh boy that will cause issues in two years that most of never see in our life time of grocery shopping.
