Blower resistor gone, how much longer can I run the blower on 4?
 

The blower resistor on my max gave up yesterday and will only work on speed 4. With these cold MI winters, would I need to replace the resistor asap?

i dont know if you can tell how long you have but mine went early fall and worked on 1 or 4 the whole semester. I finally fixed it just because i dont like the fans going full blast, at the end of the semester. very easy to replace and worth it. only two screws have to be removed and then a plug then put the new one in its right under the glove box

No need to wait unless you like the full blast fan! :spike: It's very easy to fix yourself and the price is under $40 for the new resistor. Maybe take like 10-15 minutes to replace.

Will probably work on 4 forever.

when mine went out last summer i fixed it for free instead of buying one. i resoldered a section in there and it works like new.

I used mine for 3-4 months on 4 before I went to a junkyard and got another one. It cost me $15 or so.

You can probably go quite awhile on 4. But it's just loud and annoying to do so.

My resistor was bad when I bought the car. Got it shipped to me for about $35 and it was probably the easiest thing I have ever done to a car that was still worthwhile, took about 3 minutes.
