When operating the A/C system for long periods of time with the blower motor set on high, the solder at the end of the A/C fuse melts with the additional
loss of holder clip retention due to the heat build-up. A revised fuse holder is released to resolve the subject concern.
The following procedure should be performed:
1.
Check fuse for damage (solder melted at end of fuse).
2.
Check fuse holder for proper retention of fuse (loss of fuse holder clip retention due to heat build-up).
3.
If the fuse or fuse holder show no heat damage perform normal diagnostic procedures for inoperative A/C blower motor. If the fuse or fuse holder
is found to be damaged as described in Steps 1 and 2 continue with Step 4.
4.
Disconnect battery ground cable.
5.
Remove two fuse panel retaining screws and turn fuse panel to expose back side of panel.
6.
Locate the two orange wires (Circuit 181) leading to the A/C fuse holder. Cut both wires as close to the fuse panel as possible and remove the fuse
holders from the fuse panel.
7.
Install in-line fuse holder E5FZ-14517-A using 30 amp fuse D9ZZ-14526-G (green).
