ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED 2006 H3 WITH 58K ON IT. AT 61K THE A/C BLOWER WOULD INCREASE IN SPEED FOR NO REASON THEN GO BACK TO ITS SETTING. AT 62K IT STOPPED BLOWING FOR NO REASON. ONLINE SEARCH OF H3 A/C BLOWER ISSUES GAVE ME A PLACE TO START LOOKING. FUSE WAS OK, CHECKED RESISTOR PACK (PN 11221007.011) UNDER DASH AND FOUND PIN "A" MELTED WITH SIGN OF RECENT ELECTRICAL FIRE DUE TO SHORTING OUT. THE ORANGE CONNECTOR ON THE HARNESS WAS ALSO MELTED. FURTHER ONLINE RESEARCH OF THIS ISSUE REVEALED THAT IT IS A "COMMON OCCURRENCE". I CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD "THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT". I PURCHASED RESISTOR PACK, CONNECTOR, AND PINS THEN CHANGED THE COMPONENT MYSELF. WORKS GOOD SO FAR.... *TR
