ii) BLOWER RESISTER
The speed of the blower can be controlled by em-
ploying either a Blower resister. The blower resister
is used in models with manual HVAC.
A blower resister used is for a four-speed control of
blower speed. This is achieved by having a combina-
tion of three different resistances. The blower
resister is placed in the intake air flow to allow it to
dissipate heat freely.
It is located on the lower side of the HVAC unit to the
right of the blower.

INSPECTION
Measure the current at the harness side connecter at
4 speeds by rotating the blower switch. The current
measurement should as per the table below.
