Consumer Description

THE MULTIFUNTION SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE HEADLIGHTS AND WIPERS STARTED TO SMOKE AND BURNED OUT. MY WINSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AND I LOST MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT. IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE SWITCH I FOUND THE WIRING AND PLUG TO BE BURNED AND MELTED. ONE WIRE HAD ABOUT 3/4 INCH INSULATION MISSING. THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND WIRE LUME NOW HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $200.
