| First we lost one of the speeds on the fan inside the van. then about 2 weeks later we were on a trip and all was fine. we stopped for about 1.5 hours and then continued to drive. when we had started out the second time there was an odor of something burning, so i pulled over and checked things out. i looked under the dash and could not see anything. i also felt the dash components to see if there was any thing that was hot, to which i did not see that much of a difference. i started the van back up and noticed that i could not turn the internal fan off and the smell of melting/burning wires was strong. i got home and took the dash apart and found that the fan switch had melted and wires to the fan switch had melted the insulation off. i took the switch out of the car so i can order a new switch and wiring harness. if i did not take the dash apart as soon as i got home, it could have caused a fire. *tr | |||

| Tl*- the contact has a 2003 chevrolet venture in which he had to replace the climate control switch because the fan switch stayed only on the low position, allowing for only one setting. the contact bought the replacement part and replaced the climate control switches on his own. while replacing the switches he noticed that the old unit had melted the plastic around the wire harness. the contact also had to replaced the left rear tail light assembly because it had completely corroded which made it inoperable. the contact is looking for reimbursement for the parts. the contact spoke with the manufacturer who stated that they wouldn't be able to consider any type of reimbursement because he didn't take the vehicle to a dealer to have it repaired. the failuer and current milage were 75000 miles. | |||
