| Description of the problem | As i was backing out of my garage the dash board lit up indicating to check my rear right tail lamp, right side marker, right brake lamp, right head lamp, right fog lamp. My husband then could feel that the brown wire in the wiring harness and the harness itself is hot to touch and you can see the wires because the coating around the wires has began to melt away. I have an appointment today to take the car to the dealer that i purchased it from. I hope this issue will be resolved. |
