Hello folks. Just purchased an 05 Tahoe. One owner truck in immaculate condition. 2wheel drive that was lifted the right way. 35x12.50x20 . 6"suspension. Interior is show room condition. HID headlights. I bought HID fog lights. Went. o install and after I plugged factory wiring to them I had no power. When I bought the truck I noticed there weren't any bulbs in the lenses and just thought. WTH ill just put HIDs in so I never brought it to the dealerships attention. Now ... after finding no power I check fuse panel. All the while the button for fog lights is pushed to on position ......light on dash is lit along w all gages lit. Well about 20-30 after the button is on I smell electrical burning thru vents. Lift hood...no smoke.. I assume my blower is burning up.. shut fan off along w fog light button. Air out inside. About 30 minutes later fan still works... later that night GF goes to store.... all still fine ... slight smell.but I assume its residual. Next morning start truck and turn AC on ...no fan... no blown fuses. Drive down street to go back to dealer. Truck shifts fine.... get to stop sign.. still in 3rd gear... manually shift to 1st ... shifts fine .... won't return to 1st on own.
Dealer has truck for an hour to tell me its a burnt fan.....fan resister...ignition and something in the torque converter.they tell me the ignition burnt everything up..... $804.00 later...... I tell them about the fog light switch ..... their responce ..... don't use switch. They checked and agree there is no power to wires.
Chevrolet dealer btw. Have any of you ever seen this? I really can't afford to pay someone to chase wires to find what it is. Yes I'd like to use the lights but won't lose sleep if I can't. I Anyhelp would be great. I can be reached at [email protected]..
Thanks a lot folks...
