Consumer Description

DRIVING HOME IN MY 2001 F150 SUPERCREW AND WHEN I TURNED ON THE A/C FAN, SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. I PULLED OVER AND LOOK UNDER THE BOX AND NOTICED THE CONNECTOR TO THE FAN SPEED PACK WAS BURNING. I BLEW IT OUT BEFORE IT DID ANY FURTHER DAMAGE, THEN UNPLUGGED IT. NO ISSUES SINCE THEN. *TR
