Defect
On vehicles equipped with front fog lamps, the headlamp circuit is incorrectly designed. When all lighting devices are switched on simultaneously, current may exceed the capacity of the fusible link. This can cause the fusible link to blow, rendering the headlamps, tail lamps, and other lights inoperative.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, modify the front fog lamp circuit and add a dedicated fusible link for the front fog lamps.
