Tail Light Switch Problems of Chrysler Pt Cruiser

The wiring harness melted, which caused the multifunction switch to burn out and running tail lights to not work properly. Replaced multifunction switch and burning smell came from steering column. Pulled new multifunction switch and noticed melted connectors.

The multi function switch on the steering column just stops working. When this happens you lose head lights, tail lights, turn signals, windshield wipers, and windshield spray. The switch has been replaced twice now and the same problem keeps occurring. It either fails totally or works intermittently. You cannot drive the car at night or when it's raining - it's a major safety issue.

Safety notice Pt Cruiser 2008 car wash water can readily infiltrate the rear tail lights through the anterior vent, and cause both rear stop lamps to immediately heat fracture in the 2008 Pt Cruiser while washed by an automatic system. The high pressure water enters through the top and glides back off the cavity boss, and runs down into the open vent. The vent shield is ineffective to this level of water flow. Additionally, the vent is paced at the top of the light allowing for water to drip directly on a hot bulb. Preferably, the vent should be a bottom drain; but this would require redesign. (delta sonic , touch car wash route 277 orchard park, NY) my name is rc mechanical engineering b. S. Previous automotive fuel system safety product validation engineer, and now a hvac controls engineer. The likely failure mode of having a car wash is probably high speed impact at a stop light during night time driving. People could die. I recommend a service repair where narrow bent tube is aluminum taped to the existing vent.

2006 Pt Cruiser under 60,000 miles and I have replaced the rear tail light bulbs twice. It is at the dealership for ac repairs (they found a bad low pressure switch and fan) and now I have been informed that the brake lights are not functioning and it is apparently corrode terminals and both lamp assemblies have to be replaced. Is this a common occurrence with these vehicles? apparently these are dealer items and my extended warranty does not cover it.

- the contact stated that the tail lights on his 2007 Chevrolet aveo do not come on automatically as do the headlights. The vehicle has approximately 400 miles. The contact stated this could be a safety issue if he forgets to turn on the lights at night. The contact stated he has spoken with the dealer and he is waiting for a response.
