Description of the problem | Over the past year i have had to replace all my lights(front, tail and brake lights) consistently without warning. When grease monkey changed them recently, the mechanic stated that the wiring was very hot, and looked melted. Issue #2- when driving my car without notice, my lights inside will come on as i turn a corner or hit a bump. I have to turn them off in order for them not to come by themselves. Issue 3- my horn likes to work sometimes and other time, it will not sound. All my fuses have been checked many times, and no issue can be found. When i try to operate my radio from my steering will it have a mind of it's own. If i hit the volume up, it will activate the bluetooth call. Sometimes if i try to raise the volume to the radio, it lowers. Issue 4- when driving, and once i take my key out of the ignition, it's extremely hot. I really feel that there is a serious electrical problem in this car, and it needs to be addressed before something serious happens. |
