Blower Motor Resistor

97 Safari AWD. I need to replace the blower motor resistor. I ordered it and it was very different from what I removed. The auto supplier say's it is the correct part. I went on-line to several other suppliers and they show the exact same part as the 1st one - but all different from what I removed from my Safari. Here is a photo of the 2 side by side - the original on the left. The new one will not even fit through the slot that the old one came out of. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

I just finished replacing the variable resistor on my 2000 Astro 15 minutes ago. The new one is a universal part. It will work perfectly.

Note: the four prongs protruding from it won't allow it to fit into the blower motor housing. Instead of trimming the housing, I used side-cutters and snipped the posts off. It fits perfectly and all functions work well.

You've got the right part.

Thank you!!! Happy New year.

GM had trouble with the circuit board burning up, as you can see ;) so they redesigned it. I have not seen the new design fail........... yet ;)
