Geez, I don't know what to say except keep on the dealership to fix it and
DON'T GIVE AN INCH until it's fixed for good! We've got a Ford at work
that's in the *latest* shop to try to track down an electrical problem and
it's costing a bloody fortune! It just went out of warranty a month ago.
You may say, "well, what did you expect, it's a Ford", but I don't think
there is anything more impossible to track down than an electrical problem
regardless of make.

Good Luck.
Tom

Well, got to go to the dealership in the am, had a Viper alarm installed
about a week ago and noticed that my brake lights were not working.
Replaced blown fuse only to blow a day later. Have gone thru several fuses.
Took the Dak back to Circuit City, checked to make sure they had not hit a
wire or anything. They could find nothing wrong with their install. ONly
connected to the parking lights. So, they disconnected the alarm, still
blew fuse. Called dealership, at first said no way they could look at it
for days. I told them, look, I bought the truck from you a month ago and
can not drive it like this. Looking in am. Also the intermittant wipers
have never worked, checked relay and was good. Beginning to think I have
been driving around without brake lights since new. Any ideas where to
look? I hate taking it to the dealer, but gotta...
