The cost of fixing both problems is $740.00 if you take it to a Ford dealer. Once the brake light leaks, the only fix is a bead of silicone or replacement since Ford decided not to make a separate gasket for the lens. The technical bulletin calls for a bead of silicone around the gasket of the sat antenna. According to TSB 10-4-7 Ford F150's made before Jan 18, 2010, have the antenna problem. I finally started doing some research online and found out that Ford has known for years that the sat antenna, and third brake lights leak into the cab. but again months later I had moisture on the inside of the windshield. In Mar 2015, I noticed moisture on the inside of the windshield, and since my windshield had been replaced I thought the new one had a leak. The mileage sucks, but if I was concerned about mileage I would not have bought it. I love how the truck feels when I drive it, it is very comfortable, and roomy. I have not had any issues with it in terms of mechanical or electrical.
I purchased this truck new on May 31, 2010. The clear coat cancer looks awful but that is typical Ford paint job.ġ20,000 miles. Have not done much with it this year because of the pandemic.
