Description of the problem	1. My father in law hit the exposed heating/cooling fan motor wiring with his foot when entering the passenger side of the vehicle. The wiring or harness is not covered to prevent entanglement or other objects from contacting the wiring. This dislodged the wiring in the connector to the fan motor resistor. 2. A consequence is the wiring shorted in the connector and the fuse did not fail. The connector overheated and melted together. The fan motor was shut down at the sign of smoke ( both visual and by smell). Fan motor would not operate from this point forward. 3. I went to the dealer and was amazed that they stocked this particular harness pn 15862656 as a replacement kit complete with the splice connectors ($95. 00). I also purchased the resistor (pn 89019088, cost $54. 97), which although probably functioned was melted to the harness of the connector rendering it useless. I installed the kit and rerouted the wiring to eliminate contact by a passengers foot or a tool bucket.
