You didn't say what type of van you have, but  I'm pretty sure that
the resistor is different for the late model with AC than the ones for
non-AC.
Regardless, you may be able to repair your bad one by carefully
chipping away the coating until you find the break in the resistance
wire.  Then solder a small piece of copper wire across the break.
  The whole resistor then needs to be coated with something to stop
moisture from getting into the cracks in the ceramic and protect your
patch.
    I have been experimenting with hi-temp grill paint, hi-temp
silicon, and silica based muffler cement.

Good luck,
Larry A.
