It started on my way home with the fan only running on the highest setting. A hour later I smelled something burning and a bit of smoke coming from the dash area. I immediately turned the heater off and continued home with no negative effects except a cold cabin.
Today I pulled the dash and rounded up the usual suspects. Inspected the wiring for melted insulation. Found nothing. The switches were next on the list. They are as perfect as when I installed them in 2013. I tested all the connections at the resistor end and they all had good voltage at the proper terminals. Lastly, I did the sniff test. There was no giveaway odors there. My only clue is the one speed (high speed) only fan.
How would solve this case? Toss the 18 year old fan for a new/er unit or put every thing back together and let her smoke herself into submission? :flame:
