Consumer Description

OVER HEATING OF A/C - HEATER CONTROL SWITCH WHILE IN USE CAUSED THE SWITCH CONNECTOR, SWITCH AND PART OF THE HVAC CONTROL PANEL TO MELT. ON THE VERGE OF FIRE THE FAN STOPPED FUNCTIONING. RETRIEVED THE SAME UNIT OFF A DONER VEHICLE [1J4FA59S3YP733181] AND FOUND THE CONTROL TO BE MELTED/BURNT IN THE SAME FASHION. WHEN I LOOKED FOR A REPLACEMENT, THE PARTS SUPPLIERS OFFERED A READY-MADE REPLACEMENT WIRE HARNESS [POTENTIAL CLUE OF COMMON FAILURE]. THE MOPAR REPLACEMENT PART IS LISTED AS DISCONTINUED. I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS OF THE ISSUES DESCRIBED, BUT WILL HAVE TO GET THEM DEVELOPED AND DIGITIZED [MY DIGITAL CAMERA WON'T TAKE CLOSE-UP PICS].
