Today my electronics teacher and I were jumping my battery (left my lights on again ). Anyways my teacher noticed some bare wires leading into a black plastic connector that goes to the positive terminal of the battery! WTF. The can't be normal. I'd load picks but I can't get it to work. I checked for recalls on my car and nothing comes up!. Which believed me to think it was fixed under recall before. I hope not otherwise i have to argue my case with the $tealership. There's no way I can afford or will pay for a wiring harness that fixed right in the first place. The argument going aginst me is the car has turned 10 years old.

I had the same issue. Replaced under recall last week. I was not aware of the problem until I read about it on this site. Ford took care of the problem but did not advertise the repair was available.

Print this off and take it to the dealership with you. It eliminates lots of "but this isn't covered..." conversations.
