| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving at night, it was noticed that the instrument panel lights, tail lights, and parking lights were not lit even though the headlights brake lights and turn signals were working properly. the fuse for that circuit was checked and it was not blown. the dashboard was disassembled for removal of the headlight switch and it was revealed that the wire to the tail lamp/parking lamp/instrument panel had become hot enough to melt the wire itself. the connectors for the headlight switch are en-block and consist of 7 connectors in one block and 3 connectors in a separate block. the 7 connector block had burnt plastic in the area of the tail light wire, and the 3 connector block was warped from the heat. this is a 1992 mercury grand marquis that was built in may of 1991. repairs are awaiting suitable replacement parts. *nm |
