    Good Afternoon TW,

    So I've been having some issues lately with my A/C.. I have seen other threads and posts regarding the HVAC Resistor Blower and how it can get burnt out after years or a few months.

    I have proceeded to replace the resistor with everything that comes in the kit and although my AC is back to "normal", now one of the AC speed controllers is not functioning properly. My low position used to blow the medium speed and now the speed before high is not functioning properly ( it blows as if it was on Low option).

    Have any of you dealt with this? Could it be the Resistor or could it be the switch panel that is malfunctioning? Wanted to ask you all before I headed to the stealership for a disappointing recommendation :notsure:

    Have a look at the large white connector behind the A/C control.
    You can see where mine is partially burnt although I'm not having any issues.
