Amazing! Great quality part. It fixed my low speed coolant fan. Highly recommended.

Great replacement for the 40 year old one. Was having issues with my low speed. This fixed the problem.

If your cooling fan only blasts at tornado speed, it's time to replace the fan resistor. This replacement part works great and is easy to install, one flathead screwdriver for the grill and one phillips to remove the headlight assembly and there it is.

It was a perfect fit and replacement. Arrived in less than 24 hours with overnight shipping. Pretty good service id say!

Took me much, much longer to diagnose this part than to install

Right parts for the job always make it easier. Figuring it out was the challenge. My suggestion is if yours is original to just replace it. Keep your van cool on a hot day is pretty important.

Resistance is futile.

Nice to find a fan ballast resistor that is plug and play, for awhile now offerings of this part required splicing into the wiring. Go Westy's version comes with an OEM style that requiers no splicing. Just plugin in.

Works great!

Really happy to see they engineered a direct replacement here instead of the previous wire-in version. Very cool.

Plug and play!

The simplest fix I've done in a long time. GoWesty here sells a plug and play resistor, other vendors sell a version where you have to splice the wires. Pick the right one! Low-speed radiator fan speed is back just in time for a trip.

Fixed my no low fan/overheating problem!

My low fan wouldn’t kick on, only my high fan once the van would begin to overheat. This was a direct swap part and the install takes just a few minutes to remove the grill and headlight to access where the resistor plugs in. After replacing, my low fan kicks on when it should and my van doesn’t overheat. Thanks gowesty!
