Consumer Description

SHORTLY AFTER TURNING ON HEADLAMPS, ODOR AND SMOKE CAME FROM THE DASH. THIS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING A TRAILER. HEADLAMPS WERE TURNED OFF, BUT HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING DASH LIGHTS AND TRAILER LIGHTS TO TURN OFF ALSO. KEPT HAVING TO TURN THE KNOB LEFT/RIGHT NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET ALL LIGHTING TO TURN OFF. ALSO, WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED WITH THE IGNITION/HEADLAMPS OFF, THE BUZZER SOUNDS INDICATING THAT HEADLAMPS WERE LEFT ON, BUT NO HEADLAMPS WERE ON. I AM DRIVING A 95 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL 4 X 4 AND PULLING A 23FT SUNDOWNER GOOSENECK HORSE TRAILER.*AK
