description: I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS. ON 2/22/12 THE CONTROLS DID NOT WORK FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND THE WINDOW WAS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION. ON 2/23/12 WHEN RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE THE WINDOW WAS IN THE COMPLETE DOWN POSITION. I STARTED MY VEHICLE IN ATTEMPT TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW BUT THE CONTROLS DIDN'T WORK. AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS I NOTICED A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL COMING FROM THE CONTROLS. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND POPPED OFF THE CONTROL MODULE TO FIND SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE OPENING. I DISCONNECTED THE WIRES AND REMOVED THE MODULE. I COULD SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN INTERNAL FIRE IN THE MODULE DUE TO THE MELTED PLASTIC AND HOUSING OF THE UNIT. I'M GLAD THAT I HAVE SOME SENSE OF MECHANICAL APTITUDE BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE. *TR
