When I had the last repair done on my truck my vent or AC fan was not working but when I got my truck back the fan was working but in March the fan just quit working again. My neighbor across the street looked at it and said it was not the fuse or compressor, but he couldn't find the problem so it is still not working because I don't have the money to take it to the shop |
| 136000 mi | The wiring to the blower motor has apparently corroded all the way through and the fan is not working. We have not been able to get this fixed yet. |
| 141000 mi US $90 |
Headlight replaced |
| 142000 mi US $367 |
The wiring to the fan for the air and heater was corroded in two and we had to have it repaired, the wiring had to be replaced and a new pig tail installed. |
