This is very easy.  You buy a new one ($35 from me and I have them in
stock), and then remove your upper grille and the headlight assembly on the
driver's side.  You will see the old resistor (green lifesavers roll shaped
thingy with wires coming out).  It is held in place by two metal fingers
that grab it on each end.  Use a flat blade screwdriver to pry one of these
fingers away from the resistor.  It will come loose.  Now unplug it and then
plug in the new one and snap it into place.  Replace everything you took off
and you are good to go.

Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Ken Wilford

Subject: Radiador fan resistor

My radiator fan quit working on low speed. It's a 89 Westy with AC.
Been briefly through the archives. Can anyone give me advice on replacing
the resistor?
The high speed works fine but no low when the AC is on.
Thanks,
Roger Van Till
89 Westy
