Today I was driving on the highway about 70 mph and out of the blue the car "chugs"..like it stalled and then it was fine.The wierd thing is when it did this the abs,brake, etc dash lights came on and the power loss was long enough that my radio turned off! It was like I turned off the key and then turned it on again.(as in the dash lights coming on). The car has 70,000 miles on it,new fuel filter a month ago,new positive battery cable a couple weeks ago. Talk amongst yourselves!

Remove and clean them. Might be an intermittent ignition switch, also.

I got a new one from Ford,for $118.00. The sell the thing as an entire assembly...positve/negative cables plus the in line fuse junction.I'm puzzled.
