| Description of the problem | I was driving and got the lamp out warning. More than a few lights were out. Went to the fuse block under the hood and found a bad fuse and melting fuse block. I replaced the fuse with a store bought replacement. The block still is some what melted. I believe this is a fire hazard not to mention unsafe situation at night. |
