Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Headlight switch melted and fused itself internally becoming mechanically and electrically inoperative. use of the headlights was no longer possible and 10 amp fuse (fuse 1) did not blow. it must have happened while the vehicle was not in operation or the last time the lights were turned off since we did not know about the problem until first trying to activate the lights that night. we did hear or smell the failure when it took place. seems like a potential fire hazard.*ak
