| 2003 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH | AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW HOURS WITH THE LIGHTS ON IN THE EVENING TIME THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE HAD OCCASSION TO SIMPLY GO OUT. IF I STOP FOR ABOUT 10 MIN OR SO THE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. I WITNESSED ANOTHER VAN EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING AND FOLLOWED THE DRIVER TO CONFIRM THE SITUATION. THAT DRIVER ADVISED THAT THEIR IS A BAD SWITCH THAT GETS TO MUCH VIBRATION AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SO FAR I'VE BEEN LUCKY AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE. |
