Blower Resistor Resistor - where to get it !
Re: Blower Resistor Resistor - where to get it !
CSIS has the word intelligence in it, and that is questionable at times.
This email will probably pass across someones desk as it has CSIS in it and I will be shadowed by men or women (CSIS is an equal opportunity employer) in dark sunglasses for the next little while.

Sorry missed that post and answered the OP's later post where I assumed he was still lost.

Nope, they drive 'smart-4-two' s now. Which in and of itself is an oxymoron.
First, post above is a pun, but given the absurdity of the world today, isn't far from a twisted futuristic reality, as projected?
Second, my doctor says to me that I should keep taking my meds...

Okay I have a new problem... water is coming into my passenger side underneath the glove box... my radio went out but after it dried it came back on... now my ac is not blowing??? I read a few feeds and I will tackle clearing out the leaves tomorrow. .. but why is my ac not blowing??? And after I clear the leaves what next?
btw I replaced the electric plate and after 1 month I was stuck in safe mode revving in 2nd gear, so I had to stop n restart... the mechanic is saying the tranny need to be overhauled. . Im so mad, its only been 1 yr since I bought the car...

Re: Blower Resistor Resistor - where to get it !
On one resistor I bought some time back, the new wire(s) that came with it were a little short. In fact, one wouldn't even reach for proper installation. Had to make a new wire in order to use the new resistor. Can't remember where I got it, but some of the aftermarket versions could possibly have some issues.

No replaced my Blower resistor / blower regulator today with the $31 unit from California
Via eBay. I took the advice of Dave oneHundred80 and the guidance of MMZ_Timelord in his excellent YouTube video and tackled the job myself. Total time was about 30 minutes. I used to existing wiring although the aftermarket wires were much higher quality. Final result was a perfectly running heater and AX blower once again. Thanks So Much guys. You are both awesome. What a great forum and what great support. Who would have thought that buying a Crossfire could be so much fun both on AND off the road!
Best,
John

Re: Blower Resistor Resistor - where to get it !
Also just did mine, after doing this in a few american cars this one was a piece of cake. Nobody laugh, but i put mine all in and nothing.. my fuse was blown. Yes, I did not check it first, and yes I know better. bad news it was fried to a crisp, actually melted the plastic in the fuse box holder some. It was hard to get the destroyed fuse out (how it melted in half I cant figure, the fuse should have blown) The plastic after being that hard is brittle as heck, ugly job getting the old fuse out without breaking the fuse spot more. I think i will have to rewire in a INLINE fuse and eliminate that one fuse spot. It in and working but im worried the connection wont be good. I had the fan on med for about 20 minutes and the fuse has no heat so it must be ok.. but its just not good after the heat its had. good news its just the one fuse spot, all fuses around it the plastic is fine. Silly little thing but now i want a whole new fuseblock.
The fuse evidently didn't do it job, the actual fuse was melted in half, 2 pieces, not just a burnt out fuse, and one side was just metal (the plastic was all melted off). I am assuming i must have had a bad resistor after all as the FAN is fine (tested it when it was out, checked brushes etc).

Re: Blower Resistor Resistor - where to get it !
Seems to be a more common problem then you would of thought. After reading through several forums the consensus for this is that there are several things that can happen. Most of the occurrences happened with the heater/blower circuit. Some think it's caused by cheap chinese fuses. The fuse may not have been seated correctly. The blades may have had some corrosion present. The holder may have had some corrosion present. I'd take some fine sandpaper and clean up the female socket as best you can. Clean/sand the blades on the fuse and apply some dielectric grease to the blades to form a better contact.

Dielectric Grease vs Conductive Grease
This guy seems to know his stuff.
syfi, you stated
According to the above author, neither dielectric or conductive grease increases conductivity.
But what do I know. Where's onehundred80 when you need him ???????

In the article he states...
I use it for plug-in connections, in particular in my automotive hobby. I also use silicone dielectric grease for battery terminal connection preservation, coating it directly on the battery post. I use it in liberal amounts on ground connections, to inhibit corrosion on stainless-to-zinc (galvanized), lead-to-lead, stainless-to-copper, and stainless-to-aluminum electrical connections. I have never found a problem with silicone dielectric compound increasing resistance or increasing wear. We use it in new equipment production to lubricate and preserve contact plating in very low current meter switches. It has never caused shorts across insulation, I use it on spark plug HV boots on race engines and in high voltage connectors.
