Consumer Description

HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING. BROUGHT IT TO AUTO PARTS STORE. MANAGER STATED THAT RELAY FUSE FOR THE LOW BEAMS WAS FULLY CORRODED AND ONE OF THE PRONGS BROKE OFF IN THE FUSE BOX. HE SAID THE FUSE BOX LOOKS POORLY DESIGNED AND ALLOWS SAND AND WATER TO ENTER. PRONG STUCK IN FUSE BOX -- NOT SURE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO GET OUT - CAN'T REACH IT WITH A TWEEZERS OR ANYTHING ELSE. I LIVE IN THE MIDWEST WHERE THEY PUT SALT ON THE ROADS WHICH MAY BE THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE THERE MAY BE A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NONE IN THE USA. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
