Wiring Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

My blower motor wiring melted and almost caught fire. I had it replaced under warranty once. 15 months later the same thing happened. I am Smart enough to disconnect it before it caused a fire but it is no longer under warranty. The second time it happened it would not shut off after I turned the engine off and pulled the key. Had I not known how to disconnect it my truck surely would have been damaged.

The wiring harness to the blower motor resistor in my 2005 Chevrolet started smoking, from excess heat within the wiring to the harness or resistor. I have since replaced the harness and resistor, but it still does the same thing. Hopefully this faulty wiring harness is the only one in these models.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving approximately 30 mph on normal road conditions, the seat belt retractor housing unit exploded unexpectedly. The failure caused a loud popping noise during the explosion. Immediately, the driver pulled over into a parking lot to inspect the vehicle. Onstar customer service responded with an indication of a front end crash; however, there was no crash and the air bags did not deploy. The air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and remained lit until the engine was turned off. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing and they stated that the failure was related to corrosion in the wiring system. The parts for the repair were unavailable and the vehicle has not been repaired. The VIN and mileages were unknown.

Heater resistor,and wiring connector both melted to point that they had to be replace. This is on going problem that could cause afire or worst. I talk to gm service people and could not get answer. I check internet for part because gm wanted to much for their. That when I read about alot more people having the same problem and gm wont help fix the problem.

2005 chevy 1500 silverado - heater blows hot air on drivers side, cold on passenger side - happens without notice - have spent around $300. 00 (+) dollars trying to fix this. Was told by gm service tech it was the heater motor resistor wiring harness, it burns out the resistor. I replaced both, the resistor burned out again and the wiring harness was fried again. The internet is full of these reports - a recall is needed - this condition is not safe. Thank you for your help.

1. My father in law hit the exposed heating/cooling fan motor wiring with his foot when entering the passenger side of the vehicle. The wiring or harness is not covered to prevent entanglement or other objects from contacting the wiring. This dislodged the wiring in the connector to the fan motor resistor. 2. A consequence is the wiring shorted in the connector and the fuse did not fail. The connector overheated and melted together. The fan motor was shut down at the sign of smoke ( both visual and by smell). Fan motor would not operate from this point forward. 3. I went to the dealer and was amazed that they stocked this particular harness pn 15862656 as a replacement kit complete with the splice connectors ($95. 00). I also purchased the resistor (pn 89019088, cost $54. 97), which although probably functioned was melted to the harness of the connector rendering it useless. I installed the kit and rerouted the wiring to eliminate contact by a passengers foot or a tool bucket.

My 2001 chevy silverado gas gauge is erratic. Goes between full and empty or not work at all. Ran out of gas and engine stalled , lost power brakes to stop. This problem started less than 1000 miles after warranty expired. Should be a recall issue as there are forums on internet with people with the same problem. Dealer says it is bad sending unit and will replace for $800.
