Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The headlights do not work when i turn the switch but, if i shift the handle to activate the turn signals, then the headlights turn on. more details regarding this condition are that the dashboard lights do not work as well. in addition, i noticed that the engine accelerates a bit when the headlights go on this way. coincidently, while searching online for recalls for my vehicle i ran into an article posted at this website http://www.mazdavictoria.com/recalls/recalls_626.htm where, there is a recall for a 1994 mazda 626 for the same condition i am experiencing with my car. please let me know if there is something i can do to have mazda issue another recall and repair my car. this appears to be a clear repeat of the defect. thanks a lot. orlando ayala - garfield, nj. *ak
