Subject:Re: All 2 Speed Radiator Fans Use Internal Resistor?
From:mark drillock

The small motor fan version has 3 integral wires, low, high, and ground.
The Bentley diagram has the symbol of a resistor shown inside the motor
to create the lower speed. The fan motors I have looked at seem like
sealed units and I have never tried to open one up to see what is really
in there.
