OK, so my A/C has been working great. Just today I noticed a plastic burning smell in the car, thought it was the truck in front of me. Then I noticed a small bit of smoke in the passenger footwell, sort of emanating from the lower right center console. Right about the same time the A/C stopped blowing cold.
The 15A fuse (#5 I think) was blown. The fuse in the engine bay tested good. I do not hear the A/C clutch engaging. A friend thinks it might be the blower motor (even though the motor is still blowing appropriately on each respective speed).
I took the center console out (what a pain) and did not see any 'smoking gun' of a wire burned. BTW, I am by no means an electrical guru but thought I could pinpoint a melted wire of sorts. Did not see one though.
Any thoughts? Anybody else ever experience something like this?
Thanks in advance.
