Consumer Description

THE AUXILIARY FAN RELAY SHORTED OUT CAUSING THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCK AND WIRING TO MELT. ALSO THE FAN COMMUNALLY RAN, DRAINING ALL VOLTAGE FROM THE BATTERY. THIS ALSO CAUSED A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, THOUGH THE DEALER DID NOT DISCLOSE WHAT CODE WAS SET. THE DEALER DID NOT FIX THIS THE SAME DAY, THEY ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE CONSTANTLY RUNNING FAN, FUSED TOGETHER WIRING, AND MELTED POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCK BEFORE THEY HAD TIME TO FIX IT! *JB
