ISSUE
A temporary loss of functions controlled by the battery saver relay may occur on some vehicles. These functions may be inoperative for a short period of
time after the vehicle has sat unattended for at least 45 minutes. These functions are limited to courtesy and interior/demand lamps, glove compartment,
underhood lamps and power windows. Running board lights, moonroof and the rear wiper may be affected on Expedition and Navigator. The radio may
also be inoperative during this time on Navigator only. The loss of these features is temporary and can last from a few seconds up to 10-15 minutes.
ACTION
Replace the Battery Saver Relay (YL3Z-14N089-AA). Refer to the appropriate Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) for location of
this relay.
NOTE
PERMANENT LOSS OF ANY OF THESE FUNCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS TSB. FUNCTIONS OTHER THAN
THOSE EXPLICITLY MENTIONED ABOVE THAT ARE REPORTED TO BE INOPERATIVE SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS
TSB.
