| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: It could potentially effect your abs system and could start a fire. the 3 green fuses on top of the battery. there in a small cover. open the cover and check the fuse located to the passenger side. this is the fuse for the ac compressor and fans. i saw 3 cars with severely melted and burned connectors. the fuses don't blow, or they melt into the connector allowing current to continue to flow. this is a huge hazard and i want to voice my concerns before anyone looses a car to this. the cars that i checked were all 1999-2001 cars and all use the ac pretty frequently. i had to replace the part since i was out of warranty. see here for more cases over 26 documented. http://forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26315&perpage=40&pagenumber=1. *ak |
