Hi all.

Have read some in archives re: heater fan ballast
resistor.

If I can't get info on what kind of potentiometer to
install in place of resistor, I might move resistor to
easier locale for future servicing.

Has anyone had success moving this resistor to a more
serviceable location?

Like behind dash near fan switch?

I know they put out a lot of heat, and I assume actual
locale upon relocation may be crucial, but it seems
silly to put flap housing back together w/o making
this part easier to get. Regardless of the fact that
it is usually fan switch, and/or fan that fail. At
this point my two low speeds were not working. Didn't
accertain if it was switch (likely) wiring or
resistor.

My line of thinking toward the future is that if wire
harness to fan ok, and I replace switch and fan, then
the only other part to fail any time soon would be
resistor. I may replace that part too, but haven't
looked locally for it yet. I will try to measure it's
values and/or bench test with new fan.

Regards,

Neil.
