Consumer Description

HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO GO OUT, BUT MOVING WIRE CONNECTION ON BACK OF HEADLAMPS WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM MOMENTARILY. PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY, AND ONE HEADLAMP STOPPED FUNCTIONING ALTOGETHER, WHILE WAITING SEVERAL DAYS FOR SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT DEALER. DEALER DETERMINED THAT WIRING CONNECTIONS TO HEADLAMPS HAD MELTED, AND THE WIRING HAD TO BE REPLACED.*AK
