ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY BLOWER MOTOR WIRING MELTED AND ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE. I HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE. 15 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I AM SMART ENOUGH TO DISCONNECT IT BEFORE IT CAUSED A FIRE BUT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND PULLED THE KEY. HAD I NOT KNOWN HOW TO DISCONNECT IT MY TRUCK SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. *TR
