Consumer Description

JUST DRIVING ONE DAY EVENING, ABOUT 1.5 HOURS ONTO THE TRIP I START TO SMELL SOMETHING WIERD AND A FEW MINUETS LATER MY HEADLIGHTS START TO FLICKER AND THEN THEY SHUTOFF. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE FUSES, THEY WERE ALL GOOD. I HAD TO STAY IN A NEARBY HOTEL THAT NIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING I LOOKED AT AN ONLINE FORUM FOR A SOLUTION AND FOUND ONE THAT SUGGESTED THAT THE HARNESS MELTS. I PULLED OFF THE STERRING COLUM AND TO FIND THE CONNECTOR INTO THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH HAS COMPLETLY MELTED. I BOUGHT A NEW HARNESS AND SWITCH AND INSTALLED MYSELF. THE FORUM SAID THAT TO KEEP THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO NOT LET THE WIRES GET TOO HOT. *TR
