Problem overview

Some Ford Fusion owners report experiencing electrical issues due to corrosion from leaks affecting the box and GEM module. These problems often manifest as various electrical malfunctions, which can arise from water leaks that lead to rust and other complications, even if they don't immediately disrupt vehicle operation. It is crucial for owners to address any leaks promptly to prevent further damage. Additionally, many owners find it helpful to review repair histories to understand the prevalence of these issues and potential solutions. When dealing with such electrical problems, it is recommended to inspect wiring connections, check the overhead console, and perform a diagnostic scan to identify specific control module issues. Some owners may also need to stay informed about recalls related to components like the torque converter. For persistent electrical problems, seeking assistance from a Ford dealer's service department is advisable, particularly if the vehicle is still under warranty.
