If your front dash blower is not running in your 1980-1991 Vanagon, this resistor may likely be the cause. This aftermarket replacement resistor is for the blower motor to get that air movin'. Installation requires dash removal, so you might as well tend to the blower motor itself and the front heater core. Do it once, and do it right!

Make sure to bench test your resistor and motor before reassembling your dash!

Install note: If you are taking your dash apart, there are many other items you'll want to replace at the same time, namely the Front Heater Core, the Heater Valve and Cable, the Heater Core Hoses, and the Heater Box Foam Reseal Kit. Also, don't forget new Heater Box Clips!

Dash Fan Resistor

Because its a dash fan resistor. What more can I say as it just got here and its mid winter and I'm not going to tear the dash out until spring. So my review is that its a dash fan resistor. Green. With yellow and white wires. And it came in a box. Delivered by an unnamed person. Who was cold as its mid winter here.

Exactly as the original minus the yellow/black wire per factory, but the resistor comes with the plug for the fan switch, and is in the correct orientation, so no issues there. Remember to add back the red/black wire to the plug! before hooking everything back up in the dash. Also remember to install the ground wire from the blower fan to the ground tree left of the steering column.

Don't throw out your Ground Wire

This doesn't come with a ground wire, so be sure to keep the original and make a new one. In all, great build quality. Should last a long time,

Good guality

My previous blower motor wasn't working at all the speeds, and was quite noisy if it did work. I ended up replacing the blower motor and resistor and doing a full heater box rebuild, now everything is working good as new! With the wire connectors already crimped on it made for an easy install once the dash and heater box were disassembled.
