THE IGNITION SWITCH WIRING MELTED AND ALMOST CAUSED A FIRE! APPARENTLY THE IGNITION WIRING HARNESS INCORPORATES THE BLOWER MOTOR MAIN WIRE FEED AND OVERLOADS THE CUIRCUT CAUSING THE CONNECTION TO MELT. IT MELTED A HOLE IN THE STEERING COLUMN BACK COVER. I HAVE FOUND OUT SINCE THAT DODGE MUST BE AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE THEY NOW HAVE AN UPGRADE WITH A NEW WIRING HARNESS THAT HAS A SEPERATE CUIRCUT & RELAY FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR, INSTEAD OF RUNNING IT THROUGH THE IGNITION SWITCH.I FOUND THIS OUT ON THE WEB THROUGH AOL NEWSGROUP(ALT.AUTOS.DODGE.TRUCKS) DATED 10/30/99 BY [email protected]. HE WRITES THE SAME PROBLEM AND DODGES' PART NUMBER#4874996 SW PKG IG 8050083 AND INSTRUCTION SHEET # K6855214 DATED 2/26/1996 REVISED 3/13/1996. I ALSO FOUND OTHERS ON YOUR WEBSITE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. NHTSA # PE99031 & # EA99027. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE IT . THERE IS...
WIRING HARNESS HAS FAILED CAUSING WIRING TO BE BURNT AND MELTED ON TWO OCCASIONS.
