| Brake System Failure Here is one to ponder. For the third time while I was driving my FEH has had Brake/ABS/Airbag lights all come on. Each time this happens the brakes work but feel like they are working without any "Power". A ten second ignition off cycle and everything is back to normal. (While I was stopped). Here is the funny part. If I am remembering correctly it has happened in the same part of my drive home, next to the airport. Today I did notice because I was listening to AM radio the station I was listening to was also starting to be drowned out by RF noise. My speculation is that an external RF signal being generated by the airport (Commercial, as well as Guard, and Reserves use the facilities) is causing my break subsystem to glitch. Anyone ever hear of this? Last edited by Scottie-d; Fri, May 15th, 2009 at 10:01 am. Reason: I don't know how to spell Breke... (OK, used the wrong one) |

| Scottie, Did you inform Ford of your findings and are you now avoiding airports and radio stations while driving?? M |

| Interesting! We usually hear about people concerned about emissions, not reception of signals. I wonder if one or more of the wheel speed sensors is working like an antenna? Are these shielded cables? Bob Wilson |
