The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact was experiencing a failure with the air conditioning and heating system in her vehicle. Neither were working properly and no air would go through the vents. The contact also smelled something burning in her vehicle and immediately took it to the dealer. She was informed that the resister needed to be replaced. While the new resister was being installed, the mechanic also discovered that a connector needed to be replaced because it had melted. Both the resister and the connector from the electrical air conditioning unit in her vehicle were replaced. The contact believes that a two year old vehicle should not experience those defects. The current and failure mileages were 50,612. Updated 10/07/08. The transmission line had a slight leak. Updated 10/08/08.

Air conditioning fan control melted, while I was driving there was a strong electrical fire odor. I turned off my fan and when I returned home I found that the fan resistor GM part# 89019088 and the connector GM part# 15862656 had melted. Bare wires were visible and the pins in the connector were touching. Initially before this occurrence the fan had stopped working at the highest speed then the next lowest speed and finally started to burn up. This is definitely a safety issue for someone who may not be familiar with the odor of burning of an electrical nature. I did replace the resistor at a cost of $55 and now need to get the connector which is at a ridiculous cost of $95. I did some research and found that numerous people had the same issue. I would think GM knows about this since they are probably selling quite a few of these items. One of the parts counter person's I spoke with knew about this issue.
