Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING UP THE INTERSTATE, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. MOVED THE TILT STEERING WHEEL A NOTCH OR TWO AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. WE DROVE A FEW MORE MILES AND THEY WENT OUT AGAIN, THIS TIME ACCOMPANIED BY A BURNING SMELL. TOOK IT TO GM GARAGE (WHO WANTED $90 AN HOUR) TO LOOK AT IT. I CHECKED IT OUT MYSELF AND FOUND WIRES CORRODED IN THE HARNESS (LOCATED IN STEERING COLUMN) AND TWO BURNED THROUGH. CLEANED THE WIRES AND SOLDERED THEM BACK. CONTACTED GM ABOUT PROBLEM, RECEIVED NO HELP. CHECKED WITH INSURANCE COMPANY AND FILED A STATEMENT WITH THEM. WIRING HARNESS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *JB
