Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 1999 CHEVY SUBURBAN IN 2004. WHILE LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY IM MAY OF 2005 I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I LOOKED DOWN AND THE MIRROR CONTROL SWITCH WAS ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE PANEL OFF THE DOOR AND GET THE SWITCH OUT. IT MELTED THE SWITCH AND THE WIRE HARNESS INSIDE THE DOOR. I'M JUST GLAD MY WIFE WASN'T DRIVING.
