While driving down the highway(45-55mph) vehicle dash lights, radio, windows all stop working. They come back on randomly. No change to little change when re-starting.

This vehicle is equipped with a feature that shuts the engine and ignition off after 30 minutes of idle without driver interaction. These vehicles have "up-fitter switches" which can be tied to things like auxiliary warning lights. When the vehicle shuts down, the headlights/tail lights turn off as well as power to any auxiliary loads. I am a firefighter in north carolina. I have these switches attached to auxiliary…

My dome and running board lights on my 2003 ford f350 super duty, 4 door truck, stay on when i am driving and when the vehicle is turned off and locked. Also while driving, the dash vehicle light is red showing that all 4 doors are open. Ican be parked or moving, the lights stay on. Both my batteries drain. So i hav to carry jumper cables.

The headlights as designed with daytime lights installed are very bright and blinding to oncoming vehicles and vehicles in front of these trucks. They are as bright as a normal car's high beams. This is on the new ford super duty trucks, not f150.

While driving on the interstate in the evening with our headlights on, we had to be pulled over by the state police to inform us we had absolutely no rear running lights. Upon troubleshooting the problem i found it is most likely the same as recall no. 11c18 multi-function switch. Our mechanic also agreed this is the problem. But ford says our vin # is not included in the recall. I have since seen two other trucks…

Recurring event: rear lights, turn signals and brake lights stop working. Some or all may fail at any given time. Does not seem to be associated with any weather related condition. Vehicle placed in two different dealership repair facilities with multiple 'fixes' being made. None of those repairs has worked as a permanent fix. The rear lights go out without notice on panel warning systems. Extremely hazardous at…
