I can't tell you about the part being correct, but just a heads up that if
the resistor has gone out, you are possibly looking at having to replace the
blower motor, as well. When the motor starts drawing too much current, it
burns out the resistor. Happened on my Intrepid. Replaced the resistor and
it worked less than one day.
