| Description of the problem | My fan blower stopped working in june. Took my tahoe to local mechanic, who diagnosed a failed blower resistor. He replaced the resistor on 6/19. About a week later, the fan stopped again. On 7/3 he found the resistor corroded after only two weeks. His parts place replaced the resistor on warranty. On 7/4 the fan blower blew up. 1/3 of the blower cover is missing (chards). I was in reverse in my driveway, with the ac running only a couple of minutes, and her a loud bang and a puff of smoke came out the glove box. Gm has special coverage bulletins 11046, 10240 and 10240a on similar problems with similar vehicles, but they say they do not cover the tahoe. |
