1997 GMC Jimmy lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer states vehicle does not have any rear brake lights and no hazard lights. Dealer notified. Ts
Brake lights came on and would not go out until the brake light fuse blew out. Replaced fuse and brake lights would not go out. This happened about 2-3 months ago and I took this vehicle to jones chevrolet in sumter, sc. They said they adjusted the brake light switch and corrected the problem. This time I took the vehicle to tim's auto pro in dalzell, sc to get it checked out. Tim found that the wiring from the fuse block up under and behind the dash had shorted out due to the way it was installed originally at the factory. Part of the wiring harness was chaffed in several places and the wiring melted together keeping our brake lights on. He removed the dash and associated items to get to the harness and repaired it so our brakes work and there are no shorts. My concern is that gmc should be paying for this repair since the harness was not installed properly when the vehicle was built. If by some chance the wiring had caught fire under the dash while my wife was driving her gmc jimmy down the road there could have been serious complications or loss of life. Please check for me with gmc and see if this is a problem that has been reported on other gmc jimmy or blazer products.
