On certain vehicles, the routing of the under-dash wire harness may allow some wires to contact or rub against the brake light switch. Eventually, the insulation on one of the wires may be damaged causing a short circuit and a blown fuse. If this occurs, operation of a critical component can be lost, including windshield wipers, headlamps, turn signal and hazard lamps, the anti-locking function of the brakes and battery charging system. Specific component failure would depend on which wire was damaged. Correction: Wire harness will be inspected and, if necessary, repaired. A 70mm protective, corrugated plastic tube will be installed over the wire harness, in the area of the brake stop switch. Additional information may be available on Transport Canada's website |
