Fire

In aug 2001 I had to have the turn signal lever on the steering column replaced due the headlights and turn signals becoming non operative. In feb 2002 I started to have random occurences of the headlights being nonfunctional while the switch was being operated, usually after turning the switch on and off for a few seconds the headlights would operate normally. In june 2003 the left and right turn signals started to randomly not operate properly.

Reported at 90,000 miles, November 2003
