Consumer Description

THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN MY AUTO, WHICH MANIFEST ITSELF WHEN I SWITCH ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON NORMALLY, BUT INSIDE THE CABIN THE DASHBOARD AND ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS WOULD START BLINKING ON/OFF LIKE THE HAZARD LIGHT. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WOULD ALSO COME UNLOCK AND WHEN I CHECKED ON THE EXTERNAL LIGHTS, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD BE STEADY, BUT THE INDICATOR (AMBER) LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD BE BLINKING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE AS THEY SAY, THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES SHOWING FOR ELECTRICAL FAULTS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
