OVERHEATED AND MELTED RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS FOR THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR ON A 2006 HUMMER H3. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE AND A FRIEND OF MINE. ALSO MANY OWNERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS SO PREVALENT THAT MANY PARTS SUPPLIERS ARE ADVERTISING THE PARTS FOR SALE. *TR

LOSS OF POWER, WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER.MECHANIC STATED IT WAS DUE TO A VALVE SEAT COMING LOOSE IN THE HEAD.MECHANIC ALSO STATED THIS PROBLEM WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THIS 5CYL ENGINE.THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS IN THE COLORADO PICKUPS AND IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IN THE PICKUPS BUT NOT THE HUMMER.

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
