Weird discovery about Steering & AC blower motor cutting off

[silver64]

I find when my AC is on if I turn my steering wheel back and forth about 5-8 times the AC blower motor cuts off for about a minute. Seems very strange to me. Anyone else have this issue?

I have never needed to turn my steering wheel back and forth 5-8 times, so...no. Were you doing this?

I see you have a 19 - did you ever have the power steering / ground wiring TSB / Recall done? This is wierd but interesting!

It started totally by accident when I was driving across a field dodging holes and such. At first I didn't think much of it on the way in but once my work was done I did the same on the way out and the same thing happened. All recalls and applicable TSBs have been performed on this truck. Since the steering is electrical I think it has something to do with that, but I have no idea why its related to the blower motor.

I thought that maybe some others had experienced this issue so since I don't see anyone else had this issue I guess I can conclude that its not a common problem and isolated to my truck.
