Details

What's wrong: The fuse in the rear window defroster circuit may blow due to the amperage load exceeding fuse capacity.

Why it matters: Rear stop lamps, except the high mounted stop lamp, would fail. There may not be sufficient stop signal warning to the following traffic which may cause an accident.

The fix: Install an additional fused circuit to handle the main stop lamps.
