Hey everyone so I’ve been following the instructions on the thread to rebuild the blowers and I replaced everything except I can’t find where the resistor is. It’s a 68 ohm 5% resister I have to replace but it didn’t show a picture in the thread and I can’t find any on mine. Can someone please show me where it is?

 

In my experience, not always (rarely, actually) a need to replace the components other than the darlington transistor unless contacts of the other components have corroded away.

 

Thanks Lawrence ya I kind of figured too but I thought if I do that and put the car back together with my luck it’s going to be that as well. Do you know where that resistor is by chance?

 

Are you replacing all the components on the circuit board? Once you remove it you'll see several components live on the back side.

which thread refers to this resistor btw?

 

I got the circuit board apart changed out the npn darlington, made relays with a diode wired in, so I don’t think anything is hidden but maybe I’m just not recognizing the resistor. I’m looking for something with the colour bands on it and I don’t see anything that is like that.

Yeah, there's no striped resistors used, it's a fat black one on the back side. They don't usually go.

You can test your work in the footwell without installing the blower, plug each one in in turn and run the system. If you switch the temp to a/c and manual before running the speed tests the blowers should fire up right away without the normal delay waiting for the car to warm up.
Run the blower at the three speed settings ..if the motor responds to the med and slow speed settings, all is well so install the blower.
