Consumer Description

HEADLIGHT SWITCH RUNS SO HOT IT MELTS THE PLASTIC PLUG BODY INTO WHICH THE WIRING HARNESS TERMINALS ARE INSERTED. I WILL BE PURCHASING THE SECOND REPLACEMENT SWITCH TODAY (3 TOTAL SWITCHES SINCE NEW). WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TRIM REMOVED AND 1/2 HR DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON THE SWITCH IS TOO HOT TO TOUCH. THE CONTACT THAT PROVIDES POWER TO THE TAIL LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND RADIO NIGHT LIGHT SEEMS TO BE THE SOURCE OF HEAT AS THAT TERMINAL SHOWS THE GREATEST DAMAGE DUE TO HEATING.*AK
