problem #1

Nov 202007

Taurus SE 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 83,031 miles

When it is cold and outside the dash lights do not come on, only the turn indicators, when you turn on the head lights. At first it took a couple of minutes for the lights to come on, now it takes up to 45 minutes. It is unnerving to be driving at night without dash lights!
