Consumer Description

HAVE HAD THE HEATER RESISTER REPLACED TWICE AND THE BLOWER MOTOR ONCE. WHEN GOING TO A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC TO HAVE A THIRD RESISTER INSTALLED (LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THE SECOND AND 13 MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT), HE SAID THAT WATER WAS LEAKING DOWN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD INTO THE BLOWER MOTOR, MELTED A 30 AMP FUSE AND SHORTED OUT THE RESISTOR. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE UNDER THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR. THE BLOWER MOTOR ENCASEMENT WAS DRENCHED WITH WATER. *NM
