Recall 95V-189: 1995 Ford Crown Victoria, 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis
FORD MOTOR COMPANY recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Oct 2, 1995, covering about 45,000 vehicles.
The problem
These vehicles were built with the non-cycling power window circuit breaker and the cycling headlamp circuit breaker interchanged.
The risk
In the event of a short or overload in the headlampcircuit, both headlamps can go out without warning, rather than flashing as intended with the cycling circuit breaker. This could lead to reduced night time driver visibility, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will inspect these vehicles, remove the circuit breaker and reinstall the breaker in the correct locations.
