On certain B600, B700, B7000, F600, F700, F800, F8000, FT600, FT700, FT800 and FT8000 vehicles, wires from the main wiring harness to the foot operated headlamp dimmer switches may be of insufficient lengths resulting in taut wires.it Is possible for the driver to inadvertently disconnect the wiring while depressing the dimmer swich or by applying foot pressure on the floor area above the switch. If this occurs while the headlamps are on,headlamp illumination would be lost.

Par suite de ce défaut, ils pourraient être tendus du faisceau à la connection de fils, et le conducteur pourrait débrancher par mégarde cette.
