All Electrical Systemwiring Complaints
SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, WE HAVE HAD CHRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THE HVAC SYSTEM AND OTHER MINOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS; RE-CHARGING THE AC THE FIRST 3 SUMMERS WE OWNED THE CAR, DETERMINING THE AC DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER GOING TO IT TO RUN PROPERLY, DASH LIGHTS GOING OUT, AUTOMATIC DOORS NOT WORKING, AND THE TAILLIGHTS GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY, AND DIFFICULTIES WITH THE WIPERS WORKING APPROPRIATELY. THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD CHRONICALLY GO ON, BUT THE DEALER MECHANICS COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AFTER READING THE CODES. WE REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP PLEASE TRACE THE ELECTRICAL LINES TO FIND A SHORT, BUT SAID THERE WAS NONE AND THE PROBLEM WAS "FIXED". THEN, AFTER 6 YEARS OF ONGOING PROBLEMS, AND NO AC FOR 2 YEARS, THE HEATER BEGAN TO REMAIN ON FOR APPROX. 30 SECONDS AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY WAS NO LONGER IN THE IGNITION. A WEEK LATER THE CAR...
DRIVING HOME I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. I THEN NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. WITH THE CAR OFF THE SMOKE CONTINUED AND THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ON. I DROVE TO SATURN AND THEY FOUND AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE HEAD LAMP SWITCH (P/N 22679804). AT NO TIME DID ANY FUSE BLOW TO PROTECT THE CIRCUIT. I HAVE THE OLD PART AND CAN SEE EVIDENCE OF BURNT/MELTED WIRES. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. 2000 SATURN LS1 VIN [XXX]. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
