__. In an earlier thread http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=69958&highlight=Rebuild+Resistor+Packs%3F%3F%3F%3F Darren posts abour repairing the electriical components in the resistor pack on the heat/AC blower motor. Anybody have some detailed info on how to trace down the failed items and replacing them? Photos would be handy. Some of us have more than one burnt out resistor packs littering our garages.
__. It makes sense to just replace or repair them when they blow but when I did mine, it didn't last 5 minutes. At $50 a pop, that's an expensive lesson in "part replacing".
__. After I replaced the blower motor, I've had no more problems. And I'm guessing that the old motor (which wasn't a lot stiffer to turn than the replacement when out of the car) caused the thermal fuse in the resistor pack to burn out and all it needs is for that fuse to be replaced for my old packs to be reusable.
