| Description of the problem | Notice my lights would go on & off on dash board during g day times thinking car had dimming effects, then notice when the car was off & lights should be off they would stay on. Then i would be sitting outside look at car & lights would just come on by themselves. The worst i was trying & headlights & insides lights went off while i was driving and continue to do so. I'm scared for me and my family safety. I dont even want the car anymore and sometimes smells like there's electrical burning or something dont know how to explain it. |
