Consumer Description

SWITCH ON DASH BOARD FOR REAR AIR CONDITIONER FAN CONTROL WAS OVER HEATING IN THE HIGH SPEED POSITION. I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND COULD NOT AND IT WAS HOT TO THE TOUCH. I KNEW HOW TO REMOVE THE SWITCH WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. THE SWITCH WAS OVER HEATING AND PARTIALLY MELTED THE CONNECTOR AND DESTROYED THE SWITCH. I BELIEVE THAT IF I DID NOT DISCONNECT THE SWITCH THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE WAS THERE. *JB
