These aren't available on Rockauto. At least that I could find. Standard only seems to have a rear one available.
Well, I scoured the internets and supposedly found two OEM NOS resistors. Ordered. Should be here soon.

Found the Standard one on Summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/smp-ru242
$49.89 (at RockAuto).. But Summit's price seems to be cheaper (thx red66)
At RockAuto home page enter the following into the search box:
FOUR SEASONS Part # 20157
In the manufacturer's pop up choose "Four Seasons'
Or you can dig down through the parts tree.
Heat & Air Conditioning > Blower Motor Control Module / Resistor > FOUR SEASONS Part # 20157 (Resistor Block) $49.89

I just can't bring myself to buy something named "Four Seasons" or "Standard Motor Products."
it is kinda insulting
.... and more importantly, install them....

Can anyone who has a functioning part check the resistance from each terminal? One of the spring resistors on mine broke and I want to replace with a modern style. The FSM doesn't have the resistance vales, just the direction of continuity. Thanks.
Usually it's the low speed coil that fries since its used the most.
Get the replacement resistor thingy at RockAuto. That's the one I got and its identical to the OEM (at least mine was). Buy the most expensive one they have if there is a choice.
But if you really want to do the separate resistor thing, a 50 watt, 1 ohm resistor is supposed to get you a low speed fan. Haven't tried it.
But the problem with going that route is heat dissipation. The resistor is going to get hot and needs to be cooled somehow. That's why the OEM resistor is installed in the air duct. The flowing air cools it. They get as hot as a toaster.

I'm using the OEM resister mount in the stock location, just cutting the factory style springs and replacing them with this style, internally wound:
Thanks for the info!

That resistor looks like a 1/2 watt or at max 1 watt rating.
The fan at low speed draws 3.3 amps (46 watts). Can't see that resistor you showed lasting very long. It's gunna burn up.

My low speed fan does not work in my HJ60. Anyone know if this replacement resistor is specific for 12v systems? would it work in my 24v system? I know zero about how electrical systems work, but would be great to have this cheap and easy install fix to get my low fan again.
Here's the PN for Canada HJ60: 87138-90A00 to help search. The PN is different than the FJ60 so unknown if it would work or fit.
You could check w Amayama

Here's a good read 12V vs 24V HJ60.
Is an HJ60 12 volt or 24 volt inside

That's killer, thanks!
Three days after mine died my engine went kaput as well so I'm now remember that I won't have AC when I get it back up and running again

Thanks for the info and links! Had mine pulled and it looks like I need a 24v one. Thanks, the search continues to get my low fan speed back.
Yours looks exactly like the 12V unit. Although the resistance values may be slightly different, if I was you, I'd get the one from Rock Auto and try it. It won't damage anything to try. I bet it will work.
My two lower speeds just went out as well on my HJ60. Being in Vegas, this is not good. Been searching interwebs as well and cheapest I've been able to find in U.S currency is $106.00 (can no longer find it though). I also found a Canadian site that carries it for CAD$85.85 (about $65.00US) #8713890A00: RESISTOR, HEATER BLOWER. RESISTOR. There's a thread here that talks about a DIY repair in which the resistors are replaced with more modular/modern ones and the item works like a champ...I can't find that thread either. Anyone? Help?
