When running the AC for long periods the ignition switch (and wires behind it) get blazing hot. (too hot to hold any length of time) I'm thinking this is what caused my switch failure a few months ago. Also the volts drop from 13.5 to anywhere from 12.5 to 10.8 depending on which speed the fan blower is running.
Everything works well though.
Does anyone else have this occurr?
thanks

Everything works OK. But the factory ignition switch failed stranding me in the middle of a 20 mile long bridge across a Gator infested Bayou in Louisiana.
Just wondering if this is normal since the new switch gets hot also, only when the AC is on.
Sounds like it's normal. So I'll drive it 'til it breaks
