## What is wrong

Certain pickup trucks were built with an ignition switch and wiring that may overheat under certain operating conditions.  High electrical current loads pass through the switch when the blower motor is operated on high for an extended period of time. The extensive current load can cause the ignition switch and wiring to overheat, possibly resulting in a vehicle fire. Correction: Vehicles will have a relay and overlay harness installed.  In addition, the ignition switch and wiring will be inspected and replaced as necessary.
