99 Conv-Blower Motor Resistor Keeps Blowing Out

[17bigmike]

Hoping someone can help - I have a 99 Sebring Convertible - have replaced the blower motor resistor 3 times now @ $30 a piece. It works for a few days and then blows out again.

Any suggestions?

The OEM is no good #4885919AA
Be sure to get the right replacement part. #5174124AA. Mine cost $36.57 from a dealer, no one else has the upgraded one.

If yop didnot have to enlarge the opening to accept the new resister, you have the wrong one. If no settings work its probably a fan motor problem. If only the high setting works its possibly the resister.

If it keeps blowing make sure all wire connections are good.
If a blower motor is pulling to many amps it will kill the resistors.
Run a amp draw test on blower motor.
