Odometer instrument cluster resisters operate at such high tempertures because of a lack of ventilation that the solder joints melt causing the odometer to fail.I feel if these resisters could fall out into the instrument cluster it could cause an electricial fire..

Alternator suddently stopped working. Dash board light doesn't allow consumer to see the speed. He doesn't know how fast he is going. Also, when applying brake and gas pedals headlights go dim. When he releases gas and brake pedals, headlights are full force.
