They are all stuck close condition? So they never open when powered off and have been glued together during driving? Not my problem mine is a stuck open in the cold and I only know about it as it does not fire up the dc to dc convert and my 12V battery dies. Charge the 12V battery they appear to unstick as the car operates fine. This is in -28C and nothing getting too hot. Totally different problem just like these failures may not all be due to the same problem? Ford is pointing at the hvjb contacts for a heat problem I think but document a stuck open and closed positive contact for a hvjb replacement? Not sure if I am wearing out contacts but it happen the first month I owned it without too much wear and tear on it unless you can break them really easy?From my understanding that happens because the contractors become molten while being driven, then when cooling after power off they weld in an open state.
Open contractors amounts to maybe 10% of the cases I've seen. Closed is much more prominent.
