RE: 5KTQ Dash Lites Problem

["Livolsi, Stephane" <livols1@investorsgroup.com>]

Don't the 5K's have a 'common' problem with the combi switch in the
steering column wearing out and not keeping the headlights on? I know
mine does.  Since the dash lights come on with the headlight switch,
maybe it's just another area of the combi switch going bad....
