Consumer Description

ON 7/30/14 I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE MORNING OF 7/31/14 THE LIGHTS STILL WERE NOT WORKING SO I CHECKED THE FUSE BOXES. I FOUND A BLOWN FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD AND REPLACED IT. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STILL WOULD NOT WORK. THE EVENING OF 7/31/14 I AGAIN CHECKED THE FUSES AND FOUND THE FUSE I HAD JUST REPLACED IN THE MORNING WAS AGAIN BLOWN. I REPLACED THE FUSE AND HAD MY HUSBAND STAND AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE I TURNED THE IGNITION AND HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON. IMMEDIATELY UPON TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WE HEARD A "POP," CHECKED THE FUSE AND IT HAD ONCE AGAIN BLOWN. WE TRIED A THIRD FUSE AND IT BLEW AS WELL AS SOON AS I TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THREE FUSES IN ONE DAY AND STILL NO ANSWER ON HOW TO GET MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO WORK. *TR
