My blower motor wiring harness at the resistor lightly caught on fire today. I was diving on the highway with the fan on full blast. No one was hurt and I managed to stop and turn off the truck info time to stop further damage. The resistor was extremely hot you the touch after. This is a common problem that I've read about all over. My VIN did not however pull a recall. . .
Randomly my truck will go in engine power reduced and top speed is 35 mph. It happened a couple of time on the interstate. The code that pops up is p2135 and I looked it up on line. The internet is full of forms and videos about this problem. Everything on the internet points to the throttle position sensor. I've replaced it twice and replaced the throttle body twice and wiring twice. I put truck in the shop three times. Spent a good $1500 trying to fix the problem and it still pops up every couple of months.
2006 Chevrolet 1500 dual air conditioner control blows heat on driver's side while blowing cold on passenger's side (even though the ac is set for both sides). Wiring harness has a short on the blower, which produces a burning smell.
2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, blower motor resistor connector overheated and melted the wiring harness and connector. Fire could have resulted. Have read online how fires have actually occurred. Need recall immediately.
