| 9999 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS | OUR BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT FIRST. THEN WHEN REPLACING FUSE THE CAR CUT OFF. FOUND OUT THE IGNITION FUSE BLEW OUT. REPLACED IT AND BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FAIL. WHENEVER WE REPLACED ONE THE OTHER BLEW OUT. THIS HAPPENED FIRST ON A TRIP WE MADE TO BILOXI, MISS. THEN AGAIN AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE WE BOUGHT FUSES. THEN AGAIN COMING OUT OF A PARKING GARAGE. WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS WE COULD HAVE BEEN REARENDED. WHEN THE CAR DIED WE HAD NO POWER STEERING, NO LIGHTS AND THE BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO PUSH. I FEEL THIS CAR COULD HAVE CAUSED US TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR DEATH.*AK |
