Crown Victoria V8-281 4.6L SOHC (1992)
Multiple Junction Connector: Recalls
Recall 93V193000; Power Seat Connector Corrosion
AN UNUSED POWER SEAT HARNESS CONNECTOR IS POSITIONED ON THE RUBBER FLOOR MAT UNDER THE SEAT. IF THE
VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN COLD WEATHER IN AREAS THAT HAVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF SALT USED FOR SNOW AND ICE
CONTROL, A PUDDLE OF SALT WATER CAN ACCUMULATE ON THE RUBBER FLOOR MATS, REPEATEDLY WETTING THE
CONNECTOR. THIS WILL RESULT IN CORROSION OF THE CONNECTOR, CAUSING A CURRENT TO FLOW BETWEEN THE
TERMINALS WITHOUT TRIPPING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
IF THIS OCCURS, CURRENT FLOW CAN HEAT THE CONNECTOR AND RELEASE FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT,
AND CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE UNUSED CONNECTOR AND INSTALL A SEALED HEAT SHRINK CAP OVER THE AFFECTED WIRES.
SYSTEM: INTERIOR SYSTEMS; TRACKS AND ANCHORS; FRONT SEAT; POWER.
POLICE/FLEET VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH RUBBER FLOOR MATS AND NON-POWERED FRONT SEATS.
