## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the terminals at the headlight switch and wiring harness connector may experience heat damage as a result of overheating.  This can cause distortion of the terminal and an open circuit in the instrument panel illumination, parking lamp and tail lamp circuits.  Correction:  Dealers will install a headlamp switch wiring connector containing bronze terminals and inspect and if necessary, replace the headlamp switch.
