Description of the problem | Dashboard cluster lights began to malfunction intermittently then after two days they wouldn't illuminate at all. The gear shifter lights and one tail light were also affected. After repair it was determined a wire harness that leads to the underwood fuse box had melted shorting the electrical wires. Having spontaneously burned, the interior and exterior lights wouldn't work. This made it impossible to see the speedometer, fuel gauge, engine fluid monitoring gauges, etcetera. Also, the exterior lights affected made for a dangerous driving condition as well as a traffic offense. After researching this i learned there are many, many cases of exactly the same problem with exactly the same year, make, and model. |
