Blower Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The heater blower would not turn off which drained the battery. Now both parts need to be replaced. According to Chevrolet, this part was a recall item if made from a certain manufacture. Apparently, our part was a different manufacturer which is why we didn't get the recall notice. Since our part failed, perhaps, it is a design defect or the other manufacturers were delinquent during the assembly process as well. Please investigate to see if we may qualify for a recall on this part.

The heater fan blower went bad, melted both ends of the plug-in on the resistor block. I called the local chevy dealer and was told they had been having problems with this part and that it would be $500. To fix it. I purchased the parts to fix it, and did it myself. I sent a letter to Chevrolet and ask why the parts weren't recalled, this could have caused a fire, causing a wreck or death. They called back later and said that they didn't know they had a problem with this part. If they have a special wiring kit made just to fix this problem how can say they don't know it exists. The local dealer told me that they had fixed over 50 of these, and this is a very small dealer, so how many have been fixed all over the country and $500. A hit. The consumer shouldn't have to pay for something that Chevrolet knows they have a problem with.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. When the vehicle was turned off, the blower motor remained on and the contact had to constantly disconnect the battery. The dealer diagnosed that the blower control motor prematurely failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed by the dealer and manufacturer that the vehicle was not included in a recall to address the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.

At first #5 on heater quit working. Some times it worked other times it would not. I noticed a glow under the dash and smelled burnt plastic. I checked things out the connector had melted and glowed when the heater was on. It threw sparks when I switched to the 5 position. The blower still worked even though it was about to catch fire, why doesn't it blow a fuse? this is not safe. Lucky I keep my truck clean and don't have carpet, it would have probably caught fire.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Smell from heater/a/c blower. First told blower motor. Upon closer examination found that blower motor was ok but resistor and wiring harness had melted/burned. Damage was local to harness and resistor. Dealer will not cover damage. Service bulletin exist but will not help pay.

2005 4-door chevy silverado 4x4 defroster/heater/blower and directional indicator and temp gauge in mirror fail at altitude (about 3,000 feet) only in winter driving conditions where temp. Is around 32 degrees. Dealer is at a complete loss as to the issue which is a safety issue with no "heated" air passing over the windshield to clear and defrost.
