Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500 TRUCK AND THE CAB FILLED WITH SMOKE THE A SMALL FIRE DEVELOPED ON THE WIRE BUNDLE THAT CONNECTS TO THE FAN BLOWER UNDER THE DASH PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND PRY THE BURNT CONNECTOR OFF OF THE RESISTOR / BLOWER HOOK UP. THE FUSE DID NOT WORK AND THE CONNECTOR CONTINUED TO BURN UNTIL I SHUT OFF THE TRUCK AND REMOVE THE CONNECTOR. I PLAN TO TAKE THE TRUCK INTO SKILLMAN GMC SINCE A FUSE DID NOT BLOW PRIOR TO THE BURNING OF THE WIRING. ALSO I DID A BRIEF SEARCH AND FOUND OTHERS HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH EITHER THE GMC SIERRA AND THE CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK. *TR
