THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN I TURN THE SWITCH BUT, IF I SHIFT THE HANDLE TO ACTIVATE THE TURN SIGNALS, THEN THE HEADLIGHTS TURN ON. MORE DETAILS REGARDING THIS CONDITION ARE THAT THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AS WELL. IN ADDITION, I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE ACCELERATES A BIT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO ON THIS WAY. COINCIDENTLY, WHILE SEARCHING ONLINE FOR RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE I RAN INTO AN ARTICLE POSTED AT THIS WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.MAZDAVICTORIA.COM/RECALLS/RECALLS_626.HTM WHERE, THERE IS A RECALL FOR A 1994 MAZDA 626 FOR THE SAME CONDITION I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY CAR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN DO TO HAVE MAZDA ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL AND REPAIR MY CAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CLEAR REPEAT OF THE DEFECT. THANKS A LOT.
