Default heater fan motor

I have a 01 Chrys. T/C with auto temp control, the fan motor would only work on high, so I changed the resistor module and it would only work for a second and then shut off, so I changed the module again and it worked for 2 weeks and now it's back to only working on high. Does anyone have any answers to this? Thanks!!

Check the wiring. Make sure all connections are good to go, It may be the fan motor is going bad as well. I would trade out for another new resistor. Could be duds, happens all the times when you buy from auto parts stores that aren't OEM. Heck happens to me all the time buying from Advance Auto

Sounds like the blower motor is keep eating your resistor. Replace the Blower with the resistor.
and go OEM, pay little more, and will save u some headaches.

If the resistor blows in a minivan, it needs a motor 90% of the time
