| I have a 2003 chevy silverado that my wife was driving when the wires under the front seat started smoking. when i got in to drive the truck the power seat did not work. so checked the fuse and it was blown. i changed the fuse and as soon as i put in a new fuse it would blow also i checked the wires under the seat and noticed that they were melted together. the truck has only a little over 100,000 miles i don't think this is normal and i would like to know if there are any other complaints, and if chevrolet should fix this problem. my wife said the whole truck filled with smoke when this happened. next week i will take the truck to the chevrolet dealer. *tr | |||
