Defect

Condensation from the air conditioning evaporator mounted in the HeVAC unit can come into contact with the control circuitry for the additional electric booster heater; and a short circuit may result. This normally results in draining of the battery which eventually will go flat. This may lead to a non start situation. Additionally the short circuit may lead to a distinct smell from hot and/or melted components which in extreme circumstances may develop in to a fire in the interior of the vehicle. All of these symptoms can occur when the vehicle is in use or parked and unattended.
