another blower resister up in smoke
i have change my resister 3 times and my connector twice. and last week i lost high speed and today in an exciting smoke cloud i lost it all. i dont have time to go to the boneyard for a few days, so my question is, can i just hook the blue/yellow feed to the black/ tan wire and get high speed without doing damage. has anyone done this?

older is better but!
I think the older placement of the resistor was better under the cowl it stays cooler and an all-around stronger design everyone with burned up resistors are usually the newer design inside the cab, only drawback is if it does burn up its PITA to replace under the cowl.

It probably has about a 40 amp fuse in the Power Distribution Center. If it draws more than about 17 amps of current with the fan on high speed, it may be a good idea to replace it. Some say 17 or 18 amps is too high of a current draw for any blower motor. I checked the current draw on my own blower motor just the other day, it was about 14 or 15 amps on high speed and it has a 40 amp Maxi-Fuse in the PDC.
