Need to replace my resistor / blower for the fan defroster / heater. OEM very expensive. What other brands have you used and would recommend ? TIA

I'd replace the blower, too. That is often why the resistor died in the first place.
As far as brands, Valeo is the OEM. Some of the Behr/Hella brand replacement stuff is generally decent.

Thanks Oilhammer. Yes, I am planning on replacing the motor at the same time. Both 20 years old with 353,000 miles on them.

I have a new one that's been on the shelf since about 2009 or 10. I paid over $40 for it. Back at that time, strangely, I installed two of them for my VW friends. On that basis, I assumed I'd be seeing a need for one in the not too distant future .. not so.
Anyway, here is one I put in watch months ago when the price was actually a bit higher ... Likely made in China.
