Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There was a short in the light switch which caused wires/connection at fuse box (under dash) to burn and melt. the effect of this was that only the daytime running lights and parking lights would work. the headlights and high beams would not work. just wondering why a fuse would not blow to indicate a problem instead of wires burning and fuse box burning?
