Holy crap... that's B.S. especially at under 50K miles...

I had a ground issue that I chased in a previous vehicle for WEEKS before finally finding it. Similar things were happening, wipers coming on without reason, headlights acting strange, and engine would even "hiccup" when doing WOT pulls. Turned out to be as simple as a loose grounding wire on the engine block that was WELL hidden from plain sight... how that affected all of that stuff I have NO IDEA, but once fixed, everything was fine.

Electrical issues will drive anybody insane, especially these days where the whole damn vehicle is full of relays and modules.

Good luck, hopefully the steering column module solves your problems...

Thanks Guys for info looks like im going to the dealer/stealer/

Hey question if there is a TSB out and im over on miles will they still fix under warranty?

Im at about 42,000 + miles
I have a 2011 not sure if it had water in it, but I had just gotten it washed and I noticed all 3 led's were not working. I didn't investigate the problem I just drove it straight to the dealership and they fixed it under warranty.

Default Update 1/5/12
Just got truck from dealer.
They replaced Steering colum module and that fixed all the problems.
I still need to replace 3rd brake light since I was not going to pay fords price for a light.

3rd Brake light Part $392.50 Labor $50.50

They also did the drive line recall with the new drive shaft.
Realy helped the feal of the truck no more clunk.

All total I paid 600.23

I have bought replacement parts from Tasca Ford. They are a Ford dealer who also sells real Ford parts at a discount on their website - tascaparts.com They list the High mount stop lamp (P/N AL3Z 13200 A) for $213.17.

All it takes to replace it is removing a few screws and unhooking a harness. 5 minutes of work will save you another $50.50 in labor.
