Junk Ebay part (my fault for ordering)

    This past fall I ordered a blower motor resistor set for my 2011 Tacoma. Blower worked fine after installation. Today, the blower stopped working on high, so the part I bought failed and is junk!
    OEM resistor lasted over 10 years, Ebay part lasted just over 10 weeks.

    My fault for trying to cheap out! Just ordered OEM on line.

    I hear you

    I've learned that lesson before, now I buy mostly OEM. If you're not ordering online, never be afraid to ask for a discount. Just asking I've saved a lot on part costs.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    You typically get what you pay for with aftermarket parts.

    I’m interested to see if this fixes it.
    I believe the resistor is bypassed on High.
    I’d check the ground on High at the blower first.
