Now now, it's not *that* bad. <g>  Radio Shack sells 1-ohm 10-watt
resistors at 2/99c -- p/n 271-131.  Give me a call and we can sort
something out.  401 274-5827.

As to physically getting at the fan, it's easy.  First you take the
dashboard out, then you take the heater box out, then you split the heater
box in half (the resistor is in there too).  Assembly is reverse of
disassembly.  <snerk>
