After not driving my 2005 Crossfire Roadster for awhile the interior fan that drives the air conditioner, defroster, heater, etc. does not work. Checked fuses....they are OK. Had my mechanic (not only a great mechanic but a great guy too) tells me that it needs a new resistor. $485.00. My wife, her family, and I have been going to him for like 30 years. Trust him implicitly.
Can this be right? $485.00? Is there another way? Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
You can buy these on eBay, much much cheaper. The "great guy" is doing what all so called "great mechanics" do these days and that is replace the failed part without looking at options.
They just like the way your money sticks to their oily hands.
"Trust him implicitly" that is always a naive and therefore expensive attitude to take.
I take it the resistor is that part that goes on the back of the fan, it costs a lot from the dealer, after market ones are one tenth of the price. You can replace it yourself.
I'll look for one for you.
