But also be sure the blower housing isn't getting filled with moisture and "freezing" which will also burn out the resistors - very good idea to leave the vehicle parked with the blower on HIGH, which takes the somewhat fragile resistor pack out of the equation. Not very likely to be a shorted armature either. More likely sticky bearings -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

More likely sticky >bearings Just thought of another "issue". If the air inlet is plugged and the fan is on other than high speed, there is insufficient airflow past the resistor pack to keep it cool, so it is more likely to burn out. Again, the SAFE way is to ALWAYS start with the fan on high. It does more for your defrost that way anyway, so why not?? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
