What's wrong, in plain English
Some of these vehicles are built with wiring for an optional rear heating and air-conditioning blower motor. When that wiring is left unused, its connectors and wires are left exposed instead of being sealed. Left exposed like this, the wiring can corrode over time, and corroded wiring in that circuit can also overheat.
