This is getting ridiculous, in a sad, annoying way. It seems like every day there is a new problem with the truck. Because there is. Yesterday, as we were delivering donated food and towels to the local pet shelter on a cold, drizzly day, I shut off the truck… and the blower continued to run. It just wouldn’t shut off. Started the truck again, turned it off, blower still on. Started the truck, manipulated the controls for the heat, shut off the heat, blower continued to run. Tried pulling fuses, blower continued to run.
We finally had to find a tire/auto service place where a guy was available to look at the problem. He showed me the OTHER fuse box, under the hood. He found the fuse that controlled the blower and pulled it. That stopped the blower.
So we have to limp our way to Florida with the blower either on (fuse in) or off (fuse out), with no control over the heat level.
Sheesh. What a weird problem!
I should mention that the heat system was already a little screwy. Starting sometime this summer – probably around the time the main computer was replaced – the heat controls worked on one side only (we have left/right heat level controls); the left side always blew cold air.
Something else to be looked at when we get to Florida.
If we get to Florida. With a problem on every hop we have 5 more problems to look forward to.
