What owners wrote
I manage a fleet of vehicles for an electrical contractor. So far three 2006 chevy trucks have had the fan control module, located under the dashboard in the passenger compartment, fail. Upon tracing the problem it was discovered that in each case the module had caught on fire, and even burned some of the wire in the wire harness. Nothing has been done so far to repair these trucks. The damaged parts are available.
