Consumer Description

ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN SEIZED UP AND BLEW A FUSABLE LINK THAT WAS LOCATED ** INSIDE ** THE MAIN WIRE HARNESS NEAR THE FRONT WASHER FLUID RESERVOIR. WHEN THE FUSABLE LINK BLEW, IT SET FIRE TO THE OTHER WIRES AND FUSABLE LINKS IN THE PLASTIC COMB SHEATH. THE DEALER FIX THIS BY PATCHING THE WIRE HARNESS. TWO WEEKS AGO MY VAN WAS WORKED ON BY THE DEALER FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THEY PATCHED THE WIRE HARNESS. LAST WEEK THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE IN THE VICINITY OF WHERE THE HARNESS REPAIR WAS MADE. I DO NOT BLAME THE DEALER BUT I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE DESIGN ENGINEERS WOULD PUT A FUSABLE LINK ** INSIDE ** OF A WIRE HARNESS!!*AK
