    Smoke was coming through the vents and now the blower doesnt operate. the smell stayed in the car so i doubt it was coolant but rather could be electrical.

    Any ideas

    One can never have too many light bars.
    Pure guess but it sounds like the problem could be the blower motor burning out. I replaced my blower motor on my 2013 last year because it started making a loud noise when I turned it up. They seem like a cheap Delphi (GM) product that are not built to last. Good thing is that it 10 minutes to replace.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Open the glove box door then slam it shut. Mine needs to be reminded every few years

    I've done a mod or two
    Either the blower motor or the blower motor resistor failed.
