Consumer Description

DASH LIGHTS WON'T WORK EXCEPT FOR HAZARD LIGHTS WHICH STAY ON AT ALL TIMES WHEN LIGHT SWITCH ACTIVATED. ALL OTHER INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WORK. STARTED DURING COLD MONTHS BUT WOULD RESOLVE WHEN CAR WARMED UP. NOW THE LIGHTS ARE TOTALLY OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE I CANNOT SEE THE GAUGES AS I AM DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK IN THE DARK. IT SEEMS TO BE A CROSSED WIRE OR CIRCUIT BOARD MALFUNCTION. TRIED TO EXPLAIN PROBLEM TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP, HAD APPOINTMENT AND THEN THEY WANTED IT TO SIT THERE FOR 3 DAYS WHILE TECHNICIAN WHO STARTED THE WORK WAS OFF!! IT WILL BE GOING TO A NEW DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY! *TR
