Summary
The fog lamps, low beam headlamps, and high beam headlamps can be operated simultaneously. This can cause the headlamp circuit breaker to overload and trip, resulting in loss of headlamps (low and high beam) and fog lights.
Actions
Install new fog lamp relays, new circuit breakers and new circuit breaker terminals. Also, modify the lighting circuit to prevent the fog lamps and high beam lamps from operating simultaneously.
