“I had 2000 year model Escalade SUV. Five years ago it presented the problem of rear compartment air blower not stopping on turning the engine off. Battery was getting drained. No help from GM. I took the fuse off for the air blower to stop battery drain. Two years later I put the fuse back to check it . It functioned ok. Is it electronic malfunction?”

The contact was unable to move the vehicle out of the flow of traffic on the highway. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who stated that the fuel pump failed. The emc fuse was also blown due to the failure of the fuel pump.
