Consumer Description

A WHILE AGO I HAD THE CLIMATE CONTROLS GO OUT IN MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER. UPON INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR AND THE CLIMATE CONTROLS HAD MELTED DUE TO THE HEAT GENERATED FROM THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. I REPLACED THE CLIMATE CONTROLS IN MY JEEP, HOWEVER, THE ELECTRICAL WIRING STILL GETS VERY HOT. I DID SOME CHECKING IN JEEP FORUMS AND APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THE "TJ" JEEP MODEL. I AM ENCLOSING A LINK TO AN ARTICLE THAT ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE, IN IT THE AUTHORS DETERMINED THAT THE UNCORRECTED WIRING CAN REACH 122 DEGREES.
