    2009 Reg Cab, .... Today, realized the blower wasn't working. Hi speed works, so the issue must be with some resistors someplace. Or, Maybe a fuse in the lower speeds circuit? Any tips on where to look? Bizarre!

    Replace resistor and wiring. The pigtail to the resistor is known for melting

    Located and removed the resistor "module". It looks OK and the plug also looks OK. I don't see anything that looks like a fuse on it, which is how the wiring book shows it. So either it is there, and I do not recognize it, or it is somewhere else. Does anyone know if that fuse is a replaceable item like most the fuses ?

    Bizarre! Didn't know there was a thread running on this topic already!
    All contacts on my resistor block do show continuity, so it's hard to believe that part is the problem.

    Thanks for that link! The thread is good and helps. I guess I'll stop trying to actually understand where the issue is and just replace the resistor for a start....... Bugs me!

    If the resistor doesn't work, the switch itself may be bad
