| The defroster / air conditioner / heat blower fan stopped working causing the front and side windows to completely fog up when it is raining outside. the failure happened without notice or specific event. it just happened. the fix is to replace the fan blower motor resistor pack. the manufacture knows of the problem and has issued a fix to dealers which involves replacing the resistor pack and then drilling holes in the compartment that houses the fan blower motor and resistor pack. the holes are to allow condensation to drain from the compartment. the condensation is what causes the resistor pack to fail due to corrosion. this is an extremely hazardous situation as visibility is significantly reduced and can lead to a fatal incident. *tr | |||
