Fan speed control resistors
Hi,
my fans work on 4. It doesnt do anything at 1-2-3. So, Im thinking about the resistors. I finally find a kind of card with two resistors.

My question is:
Well, in qc theres a lot of rain and snow. These kind of punched resistors wont resist for long, so I dont want a new chip. Someone knows about witch resistor it is(xxxohms)??? Because I want to buy good ones to the electronic store.
Thanks

this seems like a common problem mine just went and I had to go to the dealership to get a new one i tried junkyards and everything no luck but this was a very easy fix as for how much resistance I'm not sure but I can look at my new chip tomorrow and see if I can read it goodluck and I'm sure you can fix this in no time 30 seconds tops

Peeps,
I had the same issue as you - fan speed worked only on 4. As you know, the part that broke/burned is the Blower Motor Resistor. It is located on the passenger's side, right under the glove box. Just move the seat all the way back, sneak your head down low and you'll see the wiring. Only two screws hold it ( at least on my '97). Once you unscrew it, you'll see that it looks like a credit card glued to the wiring harness. Anyway, the best deal I found was on www.rockauto.com. I ordered it this Sunday, had it at my door on Wednesday. Price was $28 + shipping (~$5). As soon as I installed the new one, Voila - all worked.
Hope this helps.
