Temps in high 80s.
AC on blowing nice and cold....then...
NOTHING
Fan just stopped....Pulled over to look at fuse...BURNT (not just popped).
I looked at the fuse and noticed it was the wrong ampere rating. Replaced with the proper 30amp fuse.
System worked fine for about 5 minutes...when the fan blew again...it was followed by wisps of smoke and a VERRRRY strong odor of melted/burning plastic.
Fan continued to run though....I shut off the AC and the fan.
What could this be?
Once I get home I'll start taking things apart to inspect, but...can anyone give me a heads up as to where to start looking for burnt melty bits?
FOLLOWUP:
Removed the HVAC controls. The connector that attaches to the circuit board for the vent controls has somehow MELTED. This in turn has left scorch marks on the circuit board for the vent sliders.
The connector itself has turned into a molten piece of plastic, and has partially fused to the frame for the vent sliders.
Looking at RealOEM, I can't seem to find the correct connector. Where does this lead to?
Can anyone please help in pointing me into a solution. I want to correct everything on this car before sale.
Thanks in advance.
btw. fan runs fine. AC is blowing cold, just this new problem.
