I HAVE A 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHEN REPLACING THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL LIGHT, I NOTICED THAT THE CONNECTOR THE BLOWER SWITCH WAS BURNT TO A CRISP. I PROCEEDED TO REPLACE THE CONNECTOR BY OBTAINING A CONNECTERS FROM A SALVAGE YARD. I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN SEVERAL CONNECTORS, HOWEVER THESE CONNECTORS WERE ALSO BURNT AND MELTED. I AM CURIOUS IF WHETHER A DEFECT COMPLAINT HAS EVER BEEN LOGGED CONCERNING THE A/C, HEATER BLOWER SWITCH OR THE CONNECTOR. *TR
