Hey gang,
We have a 2016 Exped Platinum. The other day, my wife said the front AC blower stopped working. Back air was fine. After reading into it, it sounds like there is an issue with the blower motor switch (YH-1829) and/or the connector to that switch (WPT688). I've even read that a few have caught fire. I dropped the glove box and looked at the connector. Nothing looked melted. However, after disconnecting and reconnecting, the blower started working.
Here is the rub though. When the fan was running full blast, that wire harness got so hot that I couldn't even keep my hands on it. All within about 30 seconds. Turned off AC, temp went down. Back on, temp back up. If I ran the fan at a moderate speed, it got warm, but not super hot.
Does this indicate a problem with the switch or the harness itself? Its going into the dealer since we have a bit of Certified Pre-Owned warranty remaining, but I'm curious about what could be the cause.
Thanks!
