Any one got a clues on where the resistor is for than fan blow for heat and air ?

what year?

Probably in the heater/AC switch itself. I have lost a few in different cars over the years & that is what I replaced...the whole switch.

96. I got a switch to replace it and then a buddy at work said it's probably the resistor just wanted know where it is and what I might have to do to fix it. My fan only blows on max

It's up under the dash on the passenger side, behind the glove box area. It takes an 8mm socket. It's very easy to get to and very easy to replace.

Sweet thanks

So I replaced the resistor and the fan works on all speeds but I have found another problem. I let my buddy borrow the car for a few months because his wheels bearing went out and we took for ever to replace it. Any way the fan work in all speeds before I lent him the car. He only used the high fan speed would that cause the plug to burn up like that ?

No, using the fan on high at all times would not have caused that. I'm going to guess the old resistor unit was all corroded? Something was probably shorted out.

When the resistor(s) blew it could cause that damage....

Hey was the resistor a part of the switch or is it separate?Post a pic of the resister when you get it out thanks!

The resistor is a module that plugs into an integrated socket up under the dash. It's not part of the switches.

Thanks Deep...nice to know!

This is the resistor I pulled out of the car.
