2002 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER User Comment / Complaint

Multi-switch fails causing the fog lights to come on when car is off or randomly when driving. plastic part inside switch mechanism holding metal contact from connecting two terminals overheats and melts thus becomes shorter and cannot keep the contact away from the terminals. dealer told me when i bought the car that i should not use the fog lights unless needed and i did as told. after two batteries and many attempts to get chrysler to fix the problem they admitted was happening on all pt cruisers sold by my dealer, i had to purchase and install a new multi-function switch assembly. i have the original an can send if wished.
