Brake and turn signal light socket is burnt and charred. I have had to replace the bulbs at least every other month. I was told by ford that i must have used the wrong wattage bulb.

Mechanics at my local ford dealership admitted the problem is caused by faulty wiring, which makes the bulbs burn too hot, resulting in the melting of certain areas of the protective casings. But after informing ford motor company of the issue,…
