Thats a pretty common failure unfortunately. Hopefully you are picking up a connector while your at the junkyard, when the switch melts they tend to be toast as well.

 

if the ****in connector is bad im gunna blow the tib up. my dad decided to go instead so ill be here. i didnt know this was a common problem. does it happen to the digital one to?

 

Theres a DIY for this...for a quick fix...common problem

 

the connector seems to be fine. do u mind hookin me up with the link. i never saw it in the diy

 

I was attempting to find it...Paul McCain made the DIY for it...

 

I'd love to see this as well... never knew this could happen.... lol

 

Here we go

 

Hyundai: Too Hot to Handle

 

I went through 4 or 5 of those switches before I found the problem...the spade connectors are loose, causing arcing and excessive heat. Replace the switch and take a little screwdriver or pair of pliers and make sure all the clips in the harness side are bent almost closed. You want a good tight connection on the terminals in the switch. Ever since I did that I havn't had any problems. Good luck!

 

Ive had the dealership replace four of them since I have owned the car. You think they would just have some sort of recall on the whole thing....

 

LOL...the dealership tried to blame this on my aftermarket stereo. I finally got fed up after switching a few of them out..I brought it in and took the center panel apart infront of the service manager and handed him the switch which was still hot to the touch...They ended up replacing the entire HVAC control unit which included the switch. Sure enough, about 2 months later the switch was toast again. After much troubleshooting I found the loose connections in the connector. After I tightened them up I havn't had a problem with that switch for several years (And I run my blower on 4 all the time).

that made me sad....but then swimmerboys pic made me laugh so itll be ok

 

:3_yes:

 

welcome to the club

 

just fixed mine, after getting a new switch the same thing happened and i read about the pins on the connector arcing if they arent alligned right (one of my wires was corroded and burt as well) so i spent 20$ at autozone and fixed i myself. i didnt want to pay 100$ for a new harness, plus i wasnt sure if the connector would be included in the harness.
Equitment-
(Optional) Soldering equitment
(Optional) Heatshrink
14ga Wire
6 Female connectors (with plastic covering the tips, if needed heat them with a lighter so the plastic shrinks a little so you can fit each piece into the switch)
Fixed or new Blower Control Switch
wire splitter/ crimper

1.Create extension pieces for stock wiring. (cut wires ~ 4" long with split ends --- crimp one end into the female connector --- heatshrink over the female connector to prevent any of the wires from touching --- heat the plastic over the connector piece if needed to make sure the all plugs fit)

2. in the car cut each wire going to the original connector leaving about an inch of wire left on the connector. (may have to cut each one by one because they are tough and close together)

3. Do this next step for all 6 wires.. place your heatshrink over the wire --- attach the wires and solder them together --- slide the heatshrink over the piece that is solderes and heat it to prevent the wires from shorting.

4.pay attention to the color of the wires on the original connector.. connect each wire to the blower switch corresponding to what pin each wire went to.. it will be snug but the plastic should prevent any arcing or connectors from touching.. like i said if they need to be shrunk to fit use a lighter to heat the ends and pinch the plastic.
