Default Recall - Heated Windshield Washer Fluid

Recall - Heated Windshield Washer Fluid - 2nd recall for removal of system, since first recall did not fix the problem.

Posted this on another thread here, and on another H2 forum, but no answers... Surely there are Hummer techs out there that should know the answer to this....

So I ask you, Hummer braniacs, what to do? What actually catches on fire, a module or wiring? Can the system be simply disabled by removing ALL electrical current from the heated WW system, and just leave it in the vehicle? Does it have its own dedicated fused circuit, or not? Where is this unit located, so that I can attend to it?

I need a definitive answer, not just a guess, as this is very important. The answer to this question will undoubtedly help thousands of other H2 owners to avoid butchering of their H2 by GM.

Help Please!

There is an answer...if you're affected, the dealership will "disconnect" this feature from your truck. You'll get a $100 check from Hummer (from the dealership).

There's no fix...but the answer was in the previous post.

As I explained on the other post, and will explain here again: The "disconnect" means major surgery on your H2. It does not mean that they unplug something.

It involves GM cutting out the heated WW fluid system, and cutting the wiring harness, ww fluid tubing, etc. They do not simply disconnect it, they cut it out of the vehicle. Literally! For liability reasons....

I would prefer not to do that. It is going to be a huge mess! As you know, this is a 2nd recall for the same thing. They failed once already. Now they say, we can't fix it, so we will just remove it. I say, NO WAY, since they do not know what they are doing!

My original question above stands:

Is there a simple way to disconnect the unit form the electrical system, in such a way as to prevent it catching on fire, and yet leave it in the vehicle? If so, where is the disconnect point? What actually catches on fire, a module or wiring? Can the system be simply disabled by removing ALL electrical current from the heated WW system, and just leave it in the vehicle? Does it have its own dedicated fused circuit, or not? Where is this unit located, so that I can attend to it?


Still NO ANSWER to my question. Any GM techs out there?

Ive done a few of these recallsalready and its not a big mess. six wires cut and taped. module removed and hoses re-routed. Cant even tell hardly that it was ever there. I would recommend the dealer does it so if there was ever a probl,em and the recallwasnt done at the dealer your insurance may be void
