This will be the third blower motor resistor that I have had to replace. This time I am replacing the harness because it burned up so badly on two terminals. GM has yet to acknowledge this problem... I paid $26 for the resistor, and it's going to be $30 for the harness, and I save a ton on the labor because I am a mechanic, but this is a potential fire hazard. There is an air flow in this area, and can fan or start flames in this area if it occurs while driving. Very dangerous! this is my second report.

The contact owns a 2006 Hummer H3. The contact stated that after inserting the key in the ignition the vehicle failed to start. The contact mentioned that the anti-theft system would not read the key to start the engine. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who stated a representative would contact at a later date. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 103,000.

Blower motor for HVAC stopped working, smelled burning plastic, wiring and resistor burned up. It is located under the dash and is very easy to catch fire, there are many complaints on this with the Chevy & GM product. I think this should be a recall it is very dangerous as many items can burn up, GM is of no help with this.

As I was leaving work the other day, my Hummer H3 lost its A/C. as I checked it out I found that the A/C pump would turn on, but there was nothing blowing thru the vents. As I did an internet search I found a blog regarding this very problem, it seems to be an issue with a resistor and connector in the blower system. It melts and becomes useless. This is not only an inconvenience at 100 plus degrees, it is a fire hazard as well. I believe this needs to be looked into.

Wiring harness and resistor burned for the second time for the A/C blower.

Burned out like many others.

Description of the complaint: The blower on my 2006 Hummer H3 stopped working while driving down the highway burnt plastic smell when the blower stopped. But the blower never worked again. I found that this is a huge issue for not just Hummer owners, but other GM vehicle owners. The resistor and plastic clip were melted together this resistor for the ac blower is located right under the glove compartment damage danger this issue poses. Other posts www.hummerforums.com/forum. I had to spend $325 and see GM has many problems concerning this issue alot on the truck.

March 2012 - Hummer locked up and will not turn over.. towed it to dealership.. they replace key ignition all of April my Hummer will shut down.. 3 times had it jumped... found out it was not the battery.. I was driving when the Hummer locked up.. it was very scary ! 68,000 miles only ! currently at the dealership again 2 twice in less than 2 months.

Right rear tire tps gives false and intermitten readings, can not turn radio/cd player completely off, drains battery. Dealer says system is defective and needs to be relaced at a cost of $1000.

Very very common problem with GM products and excessive problem with H3 heaters. You smell something burning in your vehicle then your heater fan starts fluctuating and ultimately stops. There are reports that the dealership will fix the burnt plug, but it won't fix the problem, it'll burn up again. Now I have no heater in January in Ohio this should be a recall !!!!!!!!!

11/02/11 smell of something burning looked under dash blower resistor and plug melted together had replaced on 12/11/11 smelt burning plastic again had same problem blower resistor and plug melted again from what I understand it is a on going problem in this vehicle GM should be responsible in fixing it before there are major fire damage or a death.

The blower on my 2006 Hummer H3 stopped working while driving down the highway and we smelled a burnt plastic smell when the blower stopped. The smell eventually went away, but the blower never worked again. I found that this is a huge issue for not just Hummer owners, but other GM vehicle owners. The resistor and plastic clip were melted together and when disconnected, fire damage was evident. This resistor for the ac blower is located right under the glove compartment and luckily nothing flammable was close to this when is blew while driving down the highway. I also have pictures of the damage and subsequent danger this issue poses.

On October 30th I smelled a faint scent of something burning inside my vehicle, but could not find anything. November 1st was our first cold morning so I started my car, and had no heat. The system wasn't blowing, but the heater A/C controls were lit up. Since I am a mechanic, and have knowledge I went right to the fuse box in the engine compartment. The fuses were ok. I then went to the blower resistor pack which is located under the glove box. The orange power wire in the harness was burnt up pretty good, and the terminal molded into the harness pack was also burned up pretty good. I then went online to google this problem to see how common it was, and was surprised to see how many complaints there are about this problem, not just regarding the Hummer line, but within GM vehicles itself. I called the service tech where I have my work done, and he was very familiar with this failure.

As I was driving to my office from a lunch break, my A/C and ventilation stopped working, I turned the on and off dial and air never came back on, shortly after that a strong "burned" smell came from the glove box of my vehicle, I pulled over and noticed a little bit of smoke coming from underneath the glove box. I did some research on the interned and discovered it was a burned out "vent blower resistor" (ac delco part# 15-80647) I have since replaced it but it still not working. I have the burned part if ever needed, I must say I don't feel at all safe with a situation like this as it has never happened to me. I decided to include my complaint as I have seen many people with the same problems on this vehicle, a fire is eminent and should be prevented.

A/C heater motor resistor overheated causing smoke throughout the passenger compartment on the highway this is the third replacement of this part, the wiring overheats and melts the connectors this is a very common problem on Hummer of all types. My sister owns an H3 as well and has had to replace this twice on her 2007 model H3 due to overheating an melting the connector. Is General Motors going to wait until there are numerous fatalities or vehicle fires to rectify this ? a fire in the passenger compartment while at highway speeds is dangerous to say the least

Overheated and melted resistor and wiring harness for the HVAC blower motor on a 2006 Hummer H3. This has happened to my vehicle and a friend of mine. Also many owners on the internet have had this same problem. It is so prevalent that many parts suppliers are advertising the parts for sale.

Purchased 2006 H3 with 58K on it. At 61K the A/C blower would increase in speed for no reason then go back to its setting. At 62K it stopped blowing for no reason. Online search of H3 A/C blower issues gave me a place to start looking. Fuse was ok, checked resistor pack (pn 11221007.011) under dash and found pin "a" melted with sign of recent electrical fire due to shorting out. The orange connector on the harness was also melted. Further online research of this issue revealed that it is a "common occurrence". I called dealer and was told "they have never heard of it". I purchased resistor pack, connector, and pins then changed the component myself. Works good so far....

I have a 2006 Hummer H3, every few weeks or so the motor will turn over but will not start. I let it sit for a while and then it will start. I have taken it to both the dealer and another mechanic but neither can find anything wrong with it. About 6 months ago, I got a new battery thinking that would solve the issue but it has not.

Heating/ ac fan blower harness burnt up. A very common problem on an Hummer H3/.

- Spring Grove, MN, USA

I bought my Hummer H3 in August of 2009, used at a Chevy dealership that is a sister store of Chevy/Hummer dealership. My 2006 Hummer was fine until the cold weather hit. The first incident occurred around the first week of November. I was leaving to go to a friends house around 9:00pm I went outside however to turn my heat and my heated seat on, and about five minuets later I went out to my car to leave and my car was freezing with no fan motor on at all. After staring at my fuse box and reading the crappy owners manual for around and hour, we came to the conclusion that no fuses had been blown. The next day I drove my vehicle to the Chevy garage. The service man checked it out and said that he would take care of it. A week later I was driving back to pick up my Hummer up. On the way home from the dealership I got about five miles up the road and my car was filling up with smoke. I then returned my car to the dealer. A week later again I picked my car up, drove fine and get this I even had heat for about a month. Until it was around christmas and the same thing happened, dropped my car off and a week later picked it up. Two weeks later and it was around the middle of January, the same thing happened. I took the car to the garage yet again and the fixed the same thing that they have been fixing, no change and no investigation on the problem. The fifth time happened around five or six days after I picked my car up from the previous time getting fixed, only this time they brought it to their sister store the one with the Hummer certified technicians. I finally got my car back two weeks later. Then around the last of the cold weather it happened again it was the beginning of April. I got it back and had no problems, not even with my A/C, which I run all summer long. Now this November was the first time it happened again since last April, and it's going to be the last.
