Our Alante's front reading lights and dome light over the bunk quit working. We found a blown fuse, new fuse blows immediately. Repair shop found wires crimped, chafed, some cut clean through by rubbing on fiberglass structure. Problem is a manufacturing defect. The installer routed the wires improperly and the inspector never caught it. These wires were shorting-out behind an enclosed area. In the interest of Safety, taking into consideration the fact- arcing/shorting wires could easily start a fire that would be impossible to extinguish (fire would be inaccessible without tools) we feel a complaint is justified. Photographic evidence available Vehicle has been repaired Manufacturer is uncooperative/uninterested in problem, Police, insurance are not applicable Fuse for lights first blew in July, 2024
