if the control box that has 4 pins you need only 2 pin resistor, it carrys only one wire of electrical to the box. a box with 5 pins uses a 4 pin resistor, that carrys 2 wires of power to the box. the 4 pin resistor is separated sides. the early boxs was 5 pin, at some point they changed to 4 pin boxs thought to be the better onlys. up date buy 2 extra resistors, put them in the glove box. then when it doesnt start replace the one under the hood, then see what happens.
