Mercury Sable Exterior Lighting Headlights High/low Beam Dimmer Switch Safety Report | Feb 20, 1999
Reported on Feb 20, 1999
| THIS IS THE SAME HEADLIGHT SWITCH INVOLVED IN A RECALL IN THE 1993 MODELS. HOWEVER, THE 1994 MODELS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL, AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN. CONSIDERING THEY USED THE SAME HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THE SWITCH OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE HARNESS AND ALMOST STARTED A FIRE. THE CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE AND ALMOST CAUSED MY WIFE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *AK | |
