Description of the problem	This is not a rare complaint. Factually, several retailers on ebay sell discussed replacement parts; and they reveal the burnt, burning, and or melted parts in the parts auctions descriptions! This should be a recalled item! 1. While operating vehicle, driver & three passengers smelled something burning or fire within the passenger/cab compartment of our 2005 silverado, followed shortly, within 2 minutes of air conditioning blower assembly failure. That is, we smelled something burning and the air conditioning quit working. Upon further investigation, removal of the air conditioning "resistor" (p/n "52408586, 42/04 slovania") revealed a severely burnt and melted [male] "resistor" connector and [female] wiring harness connector (refer to (3) for resistor and harness replacement part numbers). (2) the failure occurred once, catastrophically; consequently, a vehicle fire ensues; and, at a minimum, vehicle components remain damaged beyond repair. It is important to note, however, fuses fail to prevent said fire or damage. (3) replaced air conditioning blower "resistor gm# 8901-9088 [and] connectorres-blo #1586-2656; note: replacement parts do not appear to be updated or revised; situation likely to reoccur.
