Consumer Description

SMELLED BURNING WIRES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT ASSUMED WAS SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT. ON THE REFERENCED DATE THE BLOWER MOTOR QUIT WORKING. UPON FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS THE WIRING HARNESS FROM THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS FOUND TO BE MELTED AT THE POWER WIRE CONNECTION LOCATED UNDER THE CENTER CONSOLE. STILL TRYING TO GET AN ANSWER FROM HONDA SINCE THE '06 '07 RIDGELINES HAVE A SIMILAR SAFETY RECALL AND AN ONLINE SEARCH SHOWS MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE EVEN INTO THE "08'S BUT WITHOUT A RECALL. A BURNING/MELTING WIRE HARNESS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULDN'T BE IGNORED. *TR
