| Problem 1.the plug that controls the blower motor in my 2004 chevrolet silverado melted and started smoking. i replaced it and 3 monthslater it is now happening again. without the use of the blower motor i can not use the heat,ac or window defogger. this truck has less than 50,000 miles on it. when i search online i see that many others have the same problem. their plugs have melted and in some cases have also started fires. not having a window defogger is very dangerous. problem 2. the heater blend door actuator has stopped working. what this did before the plug melted was to control the temp of the air coming out of the vents. when it stops working like it did to me was to blow burning hot air right in my face even with the ac on. imagine driving at 55 mph and have these things happen to you. please make general motors recall their products and fix them so this problem will not occur again. thank you. | |||

| February 20, 2010 i smelled a burning electrical smell. after a quick look under the dash on the passenger side i found smoldering wires from the wiring harness that is attached to the heater fan. the wires run from the heater fan motor to the resistor. the resistor is also damaged. the wires had to be replaced as well as the resistor. the parts dealer said that this part frequently must be replaced on this model truck and they keep at least 30 in stock just for this reason. this vehicle only has 63,575 miles on it. as a result, i was unable to use my heater or defroster which resulted in being very cold on my drive home from work at 6am and i could not defrost my windshield to see properly. *tr | |||
