| Description of the problem | One of my cargo lights in the rear center of the cab burnt out and i went to replace it. When i took the cover off i noticed what looked like plastic on the light bulb that was burnt out. So i took a closer look inside and i noticed above the light bulb that the plastic had melted and it was the same way over the other light bulb. Now there is a hole in the plastic above each light bulb. So after i put the cover back on i made the lights come on by opening the truck door and i felt the cover and it was very hot to the touch. I am thinking this could possible start a fire if the doors remain open to long. |
