Consumer Description

THE BLOWER ON MY 2006 HUMMER H3 STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WE SMELLED A BURNT PLASTIC SMELL WHEN THE BLOWER STOPPED. THE SMELL EVENTUALLY WENT AWAY, BUT THE BLOWER NEVER WORKED AGAIN. I FOUND THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR NOT JUST HUMMER OWNERS, BUT OTHER GM VEHICLE OWNERS. THE RESISTOR AND PLASTIC CLIP WERE MELTED TOGETHER AND WHEN DISCONNECTED, FIRE DAMAGE WAS EVIDENT. THIS RESISTOR FOR THE AC BLOWER IS LOCATED RIGHT UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND LUCKILY NOTHING FLAMMABLE WAS CLOSE TO THIS WHEN IS BLEW WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AND SUBSEQUENT DANGER THIS ISSUE POSES. OTHER POSTS OF PEOPLE SEEING THIS ISSUE.
