problem #1

Aug 252003

Sephia 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles
Electrical system under the dash has shorted out. The airconditioner, defrost, dash lights, are all unable to perform their duties. The fan blower is running constantly and no warning lights have issued a warning sign. The wires are bare and I have been told without replacing the entire assembly the car could catch on fire and blow-up the dash.
