This is a repeat of NHTSA campaign id number : 00V118000. I had the car repaired at the Mazda dealership in year 2000 under the previous recall. 1 month ago the headlights stop working due to a broken wire in the headlight switch assembly. The ground wire broke its solder connection at the base of the switch. I have dissaembled the switch and connect a temporary ground wire to the base of the switch. There is something wrong with the engineering of this switch assembly if it happens again!

Headlight switch was recalled and replaced. Replacement switch failed: Headlights went off when turn signal was used. Replaced again. Now taillights and dash lights are shorting out. May be due to switch again. Dealer unable to fix.
