I don't think Max said that.

I do think the part number for that resistor has superseded
something like 6 times since it was introduced.

I think it's because they're **** to begin with.

I think that if there were a problem with shorted windings, the
switch would be the pattern failure (it's not)

I think I install about four of these a month.

Really? Then what do *you* think he meant when he said:

"And if you replace it and it goes out again you need a new blower motor." ??

In my Intrepid, the blower worked on high only. Replaced the resistor and
got one day out of it. Blower worked on high only. Replaced blower motor
assembly and resistor and it's been working great ever since. Bearings were
going bad.

: Failed blower motors tend to not work well at high speed.
: Not what the OP described.

I *think* he meant wait and see if the resistor fails again
before you waste $200 on a new blower motor considering that the
original resistors tend to be failure prone.

Still don't see anything like; the thing that can croak the
resistor module is a failing blower motor. For instance, if one
of the armature windings is shorted...

I'll keep that in mind if a 96 Caravan ever morphs into an
Intrepid.

And what does that have to do with bearings freezing up?

Ok, you have a reading comprehension problem. Sorry...

No worries - he clearly has comprehension issues that nobody here is going to
solve for him...

No, I just don't see things that aren't there.
