| 2006 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS (SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, ETC.) LIGHTS ON SHIFTER, AND RIGHT REAR TAILLIGHTS ALL WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. FUSES WERE ALL STILL GOOD, LIGHT BULBS STILL GOOD. EVENTUALLY TRACKED IT DOWN TO A BURNT OUT WIRING SPLICE, WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE LOSS OF INTERIOR LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD - ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FIX REQUIRES HUNTING DOWN BAD FACTORY WIRING. *TR |
