| Description of the problem | The air and heat stopped working altogether. I took it to arapahoe kia in centennial, co. They told me the blower motor had failed. I had another shop look at it and they told me the wiring to the blower motor had completely melted. It looks like there was a short that lit the wires on fire. Luckily, it did not ignite the whole car like some other cases. |
