Is this blower resistor cactus?

[baas]

Hi Mudders,

Hopefully a quick question....pulled the A/C blower unit apart today. At the back of the unit is a resistor (Resistor, Cooler Unit Blower - Toyota Part 88635-30370):
Inside:

Outside:

Not sure what it is supposed to look like, but I'm guessing those resistors should have some ceramic stuff around it? Can anyone confirm this please? The blower works just fine on all three different speeds.

The only place I have found that has this resistor in stock is 1stToyotaParts - any insight into their service, particularly on international orders?

Many thanks again.....

No ceramic goes on these, they should look like a coil spring, the air from the blower is what keeps them cool. You can take it out and separate the coils and reinstall and it should be fine, do not touch the coils with it on as they get very hot. I hope this helps.

Thank you - that saves me a few bucks! I'll pretty it up a little when I reassemble.

Appreciate the help

hi ,

you are really keeping us all in suspense to see if @My4x4FJ40 's suggestion that : You can take it out and separate the coils and reinstall and it should be fine, do not touch the coils with it on as they get very hot. i wonder if he let them kool for a spell longer then is taking here to find out from you if he knows something we don't know ?

thanks ,
