Consumer Description

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR FEW YEARS. THIS MONTH MY A/C STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AGAIN. I HAVE REPLACED THE RESISTOR BEFORE THINKING IT WAS BAD..THAT'S WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE HOT SPOTS. THIS TIME I INVESTIGATED MORE. NOW ALL 4 CONDUCTORS ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF A HOTSPOTS AND THE PLUG ALSO IS SHOWING SIGNS OF OVERHEATING ON THE TWO MIDDLE CONNECTIONS. TOYOTA'S SERVICE MANAGE DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. ALSO TOYOTA DOESN'T SELL A REPLACEMENT PLUG. THIS CAN, AND PROBABLY WILL START A FIRE. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID I WILL FINE THAT MOST OF THE PLUGS WILL SHOW HEAT INDICATIONS AT A USED PARTS HOUSES. HAVING A FIRE INSIDE MY VEHICLE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. FIRST RESISTOR CHANGED 11/10 @ 81500 MILES AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, JUST LOOSE CONNECTIONS. *TR
