On certain vehicles, the wire harness sheath in the passenger compartment is damaged, which was caused by the screw for the hood lock release handle bracket during wiring installation due to insufficient space between the harness and the bracket resulting from improper securing of wiring. Vibration during driving can cause the harness and the screw to interfere with each other, and in extreme cases, this could cause a short circuit and a blown fuse, in which case, the turn signals or the speedometer etc. will fail.
