I believe these parts are resistors for your A/C blowers (they should do the
different speeds of the fan).  I can see in one of your pictures that the
part number is on this unit.  I would see if it is available from the local
VW dealer (doubt it) if not then good used is the only way to go on this
one.  Just FYI.  (why wouldn't you want to buy these parts from me or
busdepot, your gonna make me cry :(

Subject: AC Help

Hello All -

I need some help fixing my AC in my 84 Westy.  Major components
(compressor, etc.) are good.  I'm having problems with the blower motor and
its housing from the cabinet above rear seat.  I pulled the blower motor so
I could get part number and make sure there wasn't anything wrong with the
wiring or something else.  Well, the blower motor definitely has an
internal short (blows fuse above 1st fan speed), but there is also another
problem.

There is this metal piece (thermostat piece??) in the plastic blower
housing that has four yellow wires connected to it.  On the other side
there are three spring-like pieces.  One looks like it experienced a melt
down.  Check out the link below for more information and some pictures.

So, assuming that I need the blower motor and this other part, where can I
get them (not busdepot or vanagin)?  Does anyone have the parts to sell?
What is the name of that metal piece?

Thanks,
Derek
