Description of the problem | Passenger side low-beam headlight burned out. Replaced bulb. Two years later, driver side low-beam headlight burned out. Replaced with new bulb. Tech said harness was melted and no guarantee how long the new bulb would last. Three weeks later, new bulb burned out. Tech said harnesses on both driver side and passenger side were grounded out and melted. Commented that it was surprising no fire was ignited. Tech said harness design left opening, allowing water and moisture to enter light receptacles, causing corrosion, resulting in friction that allowed overheating. |
