Tail lights, backup lights, fog lights, and dash lights did not work. The fault wa S the lighting control module which had a recall issued. Pontiac was not willing to repair the vehicle under the recall 94V190000 concerning headlight failure. These vehicles were assembled with lighting control modules which can experience excessive current leakage due to damaged surface mounting capacitors. This can cause loss of head lamps and parking lamps. Consequence: Sudden loss of headlamps can cause reduced driver visibility which can result in a vehicle accident. Also, the head lamps cannot be turned off, or they may turn on while the vehicle is parked, resulting in loss of battery charge and inability to restart the car. Remedy: Dealers will replace the headlamp module. Notes: System: Lighting; head lights. Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles equipped with twilight sentinel lights. Note: If your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time or the remedy does not correct the defect, please contact Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737, or Oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537. Also, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
