Started having problems with the hazard/brake light fuse blowing occasionally about 2. 5 yr ago. . . Recently the fuse blows almost as soon as you turn the vehicle on. Bulbs are good and lights work until the fuse blows. I've replaced the electrical system in the steering column twice in that same period of time. The most recent time had no effect on the fuses blowing.

Gm and/or Chevrolet has never attempted to contact me or deliver notices of recalls or any of the 84 service bulletins which are currently issued for this vehicle. I have complained to gm and the dealership but have received no answer or response at all.

About four hours after I parked my chevy s-10 in my carport at 11 p. M. , the truck erupted into flames. The engine compartment is gutted; the front portion of the truck is destroyed. A California department of forestry investigator has determined the cause was likely the vehicleos electrical system. He believes the fire probably started in the fuse box in the engine compartment, then spread to engulf the whole engine. I will be happy to provide you with a copy of his report when it becomes available. The fire threatened the entire building where I live, which includes several businesses and residences. Because of a sprinkler system and fast action by fire crews, the building damage was limited to smoke stains on the wall and ceiling. However, the truck is totaled.
