| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WHILE DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY HOME FROM VISITING FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS, HEADLIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS ALL QUIT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY THE MOON WAS OUT FULL AND A BIG TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME WITH BRIGHT ENOUGH LIGHTS. I FIGURED OUT I COULD HAVE LIGHTS BY HOLDING THE "FLASH" OF THE BRIGHTS. I ENDED UP JUMPING THE FUSE PANEL TO GET POWER TO THE HEADLIGHTS. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, TOLD ME PROBLEM HAPPENS A LOT. BUT NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. HAD TO BUY A NEW MULTI SWITCH FOR $95.
