I’ve attached a before and after photo of what our fuse box now looks like after it was worked on for a broken fan 17 months ago. What they did was unsafe and dangerous. I wish they would have told us this is what they were going to do to our car because we would have said NO ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! You should never bypass a fuse with a wire. This caused more damaged to the fuse box and we have more serious issue now. We trusted their work and never checked it until now because of a serious car accident this almost caused by the electrical shutting down while I was driving with my kids in the car. I’ve never seen this done to a car before to fix a broken fan.
Hi Eva, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We take safety very seriously, and I’m truly sorry that you feel this way about our work. After reviewing the photo, we noticed that the wire in question doesn’t appear damaged, which is unusual given the surrounding melted components. In cases of high heat or electrical stress, all parts of the repair, including any wiring, would typically show signs of wear or damage. This suggests that the wire may not have been part of our original repair. We documented all work details on your invoice, including that this was a temporary ‘get-by’ repair, due to budget limitations. At the time, we discussed options and made adjustments to stay within your available funds while providing a safe, functional solution using a fusible link as a safeguard. Fusible links are designed to melt when overheating occurs, protecting the system. Please feel free to contact us directly to discuss this further. Our goal is to ensure you and your family feel safe and secure in your vehicle, and we're here to help however we can. Thank you, The team @ Halsey's
