Re: 1999 Breeze Blower Problems
It would be good to know why the blower resistor is failing- the last one I did had the thermal overload fuse blown- this is the little element soldered in series between the legs of the resistor- you can do a simple continuity check on it to determine if it is failed- it probably failed due to too much current- from a worn out blower motor- if blower squeals- or spins hard, or is hot to touch- you can bet it is pulling some big amps- takes a big amp meter to check it- most VOM's don't support anything over 10 amps- so don't blow your VOM on this- use a 10 amp inline fuse if necessary.
