Turn signals inop
Heres a new one....
I just found out my blinkers do stop functioning when I reposition my adjustable steering wheel from the highest level or 2, to any of the lower positions.
Something must be getting pinched in the move. Can be sitting there at the stop light with either turn sig on, and watch it go on and off just by raising and lowering the steering wheel.
Might this be something covered by the warranty? Still have a year to go...

Yes, it is covered under warranty! It is one of the connectors(plug) on the back of the multifunction switch(turn signal stalk) is the problem. The harness is a bit too short, and when you tilt the wheel, it pulls the wires tight, over time it ends up pulling a wire or 2 out of the connector. Ford will replace the connector, make sure they use a FORD BRAND connector, NOT a parts store brand(Taiwan), I have installed both and the off brand just doesn't have the quality fit of the OEM. Hope this helps!
