problem #1

2008May 02

Malibu 3.1L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 68,000 miles

My drivers side turn signal circuit board is corroded because moisture seems to get
into the assembly. A parts man told me simple fix, put a new circuit board in. Plug and play. Anyway the dealership sold me a bad circuit board $60.00. So I took it to there
service and they replaced the bad board for $120.00. Now about every 8 to 10 days
the fuse blows. I have had it in the Dealership 5 times and they cannot find the problem.
Something about a small short back feeding. The Service manager suggested that I sell
the car. Now He said for around $100.00 they can install a circuit breaker that will reset
itself every time the problem occurs. I don't have a lot of money, its a 2002 with only 72,000 miles on it and this problem is scaring me to death!!!!!!!
I am afraid that when the fuse blows all of the lights go out, that my wife will be in an accident! I just paid $1100.00 for a blown intake gasket from midas.
