Folks, I have found an inexpensive ballast resistor  to replace those burned
out ones for the Vanagon front heater blower  motor.  Takes a bit of rewiring
but well worth the effort for the  savings.  VW Canada wants $195 for ballast
resistor and related  harness.  This part is German and for the heater fan
motor of a VW Golf,  Jetta, Cabrio - 1985 - 1992.  From my _Vanagon Items
