Consumer Description

WIRES GET HOT THAT LEAD TO THE HEATER/AC FAN. THE INSULATION OF WIRE AND CONNECTOR MELTS. THIS CAUSES THE HEATER TO GO OFF AND BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY AND FREQUENTLY UNLESS YOU WIGGLE THE WIRES. WIGGLING THE CONNECTOR WILL HELP FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING(DOES NOT HAVE TO BE MOVING) AND THE BLOWER IS ON. I HAVE TRIED TO PRESS IN THE CONNECTOR OR WIGGLE THE CONNECTOR WHILE DRIVING AND THIS IS A DISTRACTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY BEGINNING ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE LOCATION OF THE CONNECTOR IS UNDER THE GLOVE BOX AREA. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET THAT DISCUSS THIS ISSUE.
