1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/16/2014

Truck was idling, just got home and the master window switch started smoking and as that happened both back windows rolled down and fire came out from window switch.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2013

The air conditioning system only works while driving down the road. When the ambient temperature is above 90 degrees and the vehicle is started and while the air conditioning is on the interior cab will not cool down. It is not until you start to drive the vehicle that the air conditioning starts to cool and will keep cool unless you stay stationary for a while. I have had the dealer inspect the a/c unit multiple occasions and they find no problem. When a basic internet search is performed I find multiple sources indicating a defective fan clutch and once replaced this problem goes away. Normally I wouldn't care but since having a 9 month old while living in oklahoma its become more of a necessity during these extreme summer temperatures.
