Filed Mar 9, 2024 · Electrical · MO · fire

My heater started to shut off then I’d turn it off then turn it back on then it’d come back on again. That went on for a few days. Started my truck in the morning and let it warm up for a few moments when I hear truck is on fire. The fire was in the cab of the truck. It was investigated and they said fire started in the right side of the dash which is where the faulty part is from what I’ve learned about other Chevy trucks same make model and year as my truck

I was driving in normal conditions around 45 mph with the air conditioner on high. Smoke starts pouring out from underneath the dash on the passenger side and once I get stopped the blower motor resistor had caught fire. I was able to put the fire out myself no incident report was filed. It caused damage to my dash but I was able to extinguish it rather quickly to avoid further damage. I just bought this pick up for my 17-year-old son and if he had of been driving things could’ve been a lot worse especially if his reaction time is any slower than mine.

Instrument cluster- the only thing that works is the speedometer if I hit a bump the speedometer stops working my truck sometimes dies on me going down the roads, I recently took it to a shop and they ran a diagnostic test and told me it's a electrical problem but since my instrument cluster wasnt working could not narrow it down.. Windshield- front makes a whistle sound when your going down the highway it's been like that since I have owned it.. Battery- bought a new battery about 8 months ago and something keeps draining it sometimes causing it to have hesitation and bogs out.

The tps throttle position sensor check engine code keeps going off while driving. When the tps code goes off the engine loses total power and you are unable to accelerate, which is a safety issue. We have replaced the throttle body but the issue is still remaining even after replacing different wires.
