Consumer Description

THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING. UPON CLICKING THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH THEY WOULD COME BACK ON. INTERMITTENT WIPERS STARTING NOT WORKING ALSO. HIGH BEAM SWITCH STOPPED WORKING (NOT STAYING IN PLACE) DAY PRIOR TO MELTDOWN. WHILE DRIVING HOME ON 11/22/03 THERE WAS A SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. I CHECKED UNDER HOOD AND AROUND OUTSIDE OF CAR WHEN I GOT HOME. SMELLED NOTHING OUTSIDE. GOT BACK IN CAR AND AT THAT POINT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. BROUGHT CAR TO MECHANIC AND THE INSIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN (MODULE FOR HIGH BEAM/SIGNAL/WIPER AND WIRING HARNESS) COMPLETELY MELTED. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WAS ANY FIRE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. *NLM
