Pontiac Montana Electrical System Fuses And Circuit Breakers Safety Report | May 10, 1999
Reported on May 10, 1999
| THE ABS TCDS AND BRAKE LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH AND STAYS LIT. WHEN IT DOES A FUSE HAS BLOWN AND AS A RESULT I HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHT. I DO HAVE RUNNING LIGHTS HOWEVER. I HAVE BEEN TO ROPER GM 9 TIMES THUS FAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WAS A LOOSE WIRE BY THE BRAKE PEDAL, A FUSE HAS BLOWN, THE WRONG SIZE FUSE WAS USED (THEY REPLACED IT), THE PIG TAIL THAT I INSTALLED TO HOOK UP MY GOLF CART WAS FAULTY (I HAD A NEW ONE INSTALLED AND THEY SAID THAT WAS ALL RIGHT) THEN THEY WERE GOING TO INSTALL A NEW WIRING HARNESS (AS YET I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY DID BECAUSE IT HAS ONLY BEEN A WEEK SINCE I PICKED IT UP AND HAVEN'T TALKED TO THEM YET BUT WILL CALL ON MONDAY. THEY ALSO INSTALLED FUSES ON THE BRAKE LINES AND ALL THAT DID WAS NOT WARN ME THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. NOW THAT I HAVE IT BACK FOR THE 9TH TIME WHEN I HOOK THE TRAILERING LIGHTS UP THEY LIGHT UP (TRAILER LIGHTS) WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE VAN EVEN TURNED ON. THEY EVIDENTLY REINSTALLED THIS HARNESS OR FOOLED AROUND WITH IT BECAUSE IT WORKED PERFECTLY BEFORE THEY GOT IT THIS LAST TIME ON TURNING, BRAKING AND RUNNING LIGHTS WITH THE TRAILER. WHEN THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO INSTALL A WIRING HARNESS I TOOK IT TO MEAN AND KNOW I AM RIGHT THAT IT WAS GOING ON THE VAN AND NOT THE PIG TAIL. IT TOOK THEM 2 WEEKS TO GET THE HARNESS AND THEY SAID 5 TO 6 HOUSE TO INSTALL IT AND WHEN I GOT THERE THE 8TH TIME THEY DECIDED NOT TO INSTALL IT. ALL IN ALL WE HAVE BEEN FOOTBALLED AROUND 9 TIMES NOW AND IT STILL IS NOT RIGHT. HAVE SOME OF THE WORK ORDERS BUT NOT OTHERS BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME A COPY AS LONG AS THE JOB WAS OPEN AND NOT DFINISHED??? *AK | |
