Had my truck in the shop for two weeks because of electrical issues. They 'squeezed me in.....right!
Long story short I got it back a couple days ago about a grand shorter thanks to needing a new computer and a couple other components.
Drove it off the lot with hot air from the air conditioner. A couple hours later it just quit altogether. Been too busy at work to mess with it and was not interested in another 300 bucks on a week rental so I suffered through the heat.
Yesterday we had BAD storms and the windows fogged up but with no blower I was screwed.
Got off today and though "I got this".... famous last words.
Bought a new blower resistor..... nothing.
Bought a new blower motor.....nothing.
Turned the harness where I could see it and fuck me it had two prongs basically melted.
Needless to say you all know how I drink right?...
Three hours later I have a new harness and my air conditioning works lol.
All the parts I bought that I clearly didn't need are non refundable because they are electric..... and why do new wires only come in two colors when I have to align 7???
300 bucks later I won't be sweating... on the bright side had I taken it back to the shop I would have spent as much and only got one part replaced. At the rate I'm going ill have a new truck in no time!
