Consumer Description

2002 DODGE DURANGO THE HEATER BLOWER WIRES STARTED TO MELT, THE HEATER BLOWER RESISTOR FAILED AND THE PLUG BETWEEN THE WIRES AND RESISTOR MELTED TOGETHER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN WARRANTY AND THE DEALER JUST REPLACED THE RESISTOR. I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT MY RECORDS BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS AROUND 58,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. AT FIRST IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURYING WHEN THE BLOWER FAN WAS ON. THE HIGHER THE SETTING THE WORST THE SMELL BECAME. I HAVE REPLACED THE RESISTOR BUT LEFT THE MELTED PLUG AND WIRES BECAUSE THE DEALER WANTS $70.00 JUST FOR THE PARTS. I AM GUESSING I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE WIRES AND PLUG THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. I BELIEVE I HAVE ALREADY THROWN OUT THE PART BUT I WILL CHECK. THE MELTED PLUG IS ON THE VEHICLE. *TR
