2008 Hummer H3 Exterior lighting Problems

“The harness wire located between body and rear bumper rubbed through on body causing right rear tail lamp bulb and fuse to blow -- this occurred at mileage 8146 on my 2008 Hummer H3. Hummer states on the paperwork repaired harness wire and reposition harness; replaced bulb and fuse.”

“2008 Hummer H3 alpha with factory tow package trailer routed between sharp body panel and bumper causing vehicle motion to rub the wires. The exposed wires short to the body and cause high current melting interior wiring. This problem has been imntermittent for about 1 year and have had GM dealer troubleshoot the failure of trailer brakes and lights with no solution. I discovered problem by removing rear bumper. Problem can be avoided by shielding wiring and smoothing the sharp metal edges it crosses.”

“The contact owns a 2008 Hummer H3. While driving approximately 27 MPH, the ABS, fog, traction, and tpm indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that more time was needed to diagnose the failure. The contact did not want to pay the diagnostic fee without checking to see if the vehicle was included in a recall. The failure recurred, but the vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was a recall. The contact stated that NHTSA campaign number: 15v421000 (visibility) did not address the failure. …”
