| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Left work after sunset. on my way home my headlights stopped working. i then noticed that my turn signals, wipers, and defroster stopped working as well. luckily i am a mechanic so i was able to find the problem as soon as i got home. that was after driving 5 miles with no lights at all on the exterior of the car. the problem was the ignition switch. when i took everything apart i noticed that the wire and connector was melted. i replaced the ignition switch, melted wire, and connector. i have the old part and the receipt. my only concern is that my car could have caught fire. *jb |
