Consumer Description

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHTS BECOME DIM, AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED THE HEADLAMP CONNECTOR WAS MELTED AND THE WIRING WAS OVERHEATED. THE HARNESS WAS REPLACED BY A NISSAN DEALER AND IT MELTED AGAIN 3 WEEKS LATER. NISSAN HAS HAD ENGINEERS AND MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTIC SPECIALISTS LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND NO SOLUTION. IT IS OBVIOUS THEY HAVE USED TO SMALL OF A WIRE ON THE GROUND AND NOT SUPPORTED IT CORRECTLY IN THE CONNECTOR AS THE MELTING ALWAYS BEGINS WITH THE GROUND WIRE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON OVER 500 TRUCKS.
