Consumer Description

THE #10 FUSE KEPT BLOWING. WE FIGURED OUT THAT THE SWITCH WAS OUR PROBLEM AND REPLACED THAT. THEN WE LOST RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. FINALLY TRACKED WIRES TO UNDERNEATH SEAT TO ABS MODULE TO FIND THAT IT WAS BURNT UP AND HAD BRAKE FLUID ON IT. NOT SURE WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO AT THIS POINT SINCE WHOLE HARNESS HAS TO BE REPLACED AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE. *TR
