What owners wrote
I parked my car at work. When I got out of work the car would not start. The low beam lights apparently never shut off. The switches inside the car were all off. I jumped the car and drove home and found that no matter what I did the headlights would not shut off. I went to pull relay 35 and burnt my hand. It was melting and I had to get a pair of pliers to remove it. I have had this relay fail at least 3 times in the past but it never kept the lights on. They would only not turn off.
When I am driving my lights go off outside my car. It happen often then it gets better for a while then it happens again I have ask other owners of this same car and they have the same problem.
