Consumer Description

I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE MY TRUCK DID NOT WANT TO START BUT THE ENGINE WOULD TURN SO I KNEW IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS DID WORK. I THEN NOTICED MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE NOT ON SO I FOUND THAT VERY STRANGE. AFTER SO MANY TIMES TRYING TO START MY TRUCK I NOTICED MY TRUCK WOULD ONLY TURN ON IF THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ON. ONE NIGHT AFTER WORK I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 83 IN ILLINOIS AND I WAS GOING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON TO ROUTE 53 AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. LUCKILY I W,A ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART VEHICLE. IT WAS AT MIDNIGHT, THERE WERE NO VEHICLES AT THE TIME AND I WAS NOT GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AND MY VEHICLE WORKS PERFECTLY FINE NOW. *TR
