Hello fellow DSMers.
I’ve had the car for almost a year now and I’ve only ever had the highest setting. 1, 2, and 3 has never worked. So, two days ago I replaced my blower motor resister and voila! They all worked no problem. The old one was toast as expected.
Well today on my drive home from work, I noticed it was doing the same thing as before. 4 worked, but 3 down did not. What would consistently cause a resister to blow in the same fashion repeatedly?
I may be getting too far ahead of myself because it’s late at night and I just got off work so I haven’t had time to troubleshoot accordingly, but I’m assuming the resister went bad again. I mean what are the odds it has the same malfunction as before with a different issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated! I’ve searched in the forums here and the only thing I could find was a lot of people talking about blown fuses. My resister itself is the issue, not the fuses. Thanks!!
