[fiat218]

SORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING
u gotta live with it with me lol
anyways, i have the heater blower motor and i do have it hooked to the switch, but, i have that resister in the housing, what i do not recall is how that is hoooked up, i got red and blue and black , coming from the motor, black is ground i know, does do i hook the red and the blue to the resister then from the resister to the 3 way switch?

Not sure about the resistor....

Look here....page six...near the botom....to the right of the steering wheel you will see the heater fan, connector, and switch. The resistor is not shown...is it in a holder (like a fuse holder) or what?:

no it not a fuze holder

the thing is , there one in the housing and i seen that in the diagram, i have printed it all out and follow that,but i have a hanes book too and well i shorta compare , so maybe that is what confuses me on the wires,so maybe i should stick with this wiring diagram and go with it, blower does work as in hooked to the switch, but im like ok what about the resister lol

I think you'll find that the resistor is there to give you the low fan speed. It should connect the red wire on the fan to one end of the three-way switch; the blue goes on the other end; the yellow or brown (+12 v) goes on the middle of the switch. If you already have both high and low fan speed without using the resistor, there must be another resistor built into the fan motor. In that case, ignore the resistor!

i was kinda thinkin that, not that it had one built in, but to ignore the resister, but i wanted to make sure that there was nothing else tied into that, and yes it works both speed, i have tried it
