The interior dome light and vanity lights do not work at all. It is not a fuse and not a bulb. The headlights also turn off without warning. I have replaced the bulbs too many times to speak of.
Lighting has went out multiple times, both headlights and now turn signals. When headlight go out, it often melts the light bulb socket and burns wires. When the turn signal went out, the bulb burning out caused the computer to short out, by design according to the service technician. Lights randomly go out without warning, often flickering, especially when hitting bumps.
One headlight continues to go out. I had it fixed several times and the mechanic said that it is an electrical problem because everytime they change the bulb it is melted inside. It will stay lit for a day and then go out again. Also, my heated seats stopped working and outlers to plug in my car charger in the front under the radio have stopped working as well. I have had it looked at and when we think its fixed it immediately stops working. This is been ongoing for over a year.
Passenger side headlight went out, when I went to replace it the plastic plug was melted! bought a new plug and wired it in.
Radio cuts on and off at will. Mostly off. Headlights go out often. Both of these things happen while moving and while sitting still. It has happened while driving and sitting in the driveway.
