Blower motor resistor dead again...

[jeeptorino68]

Gone through another heater fan motor resistor...is there a good aftermarket unit or heavy duty resistor I can get? Tired of replacing these...

The one for a Sebring is suppose to be more HD. Don't have the number right here with me tonight

I will search around for that, thanks

I've heard the same. The one for the same year Sebring is apparently more robust. I put mine in a long time ago and never looked back. Got a cheap Chinese unit from RockAuto at the time.

This one worked well for me:

Thanks everyone

Can anyone confirm whether the Sebring one changes the fan speeds compared to the original one?

Yes a little bit. I never remember hearing the fan when I had the OE resistor. Definitely hear the fan with the Sebring.

Got what you suggested, so far so good. Doesn't seem much faster if any than the speeds when the other was working right

Buy the Sebring best & hopefully it wont die like the rest !:icon_lol:
I hope we both get some years out of the BWD resistor ! :gr_grin:

Replaced this today as position 1 wasn't working. Decided to go with the Autozone Duralast Sebring one for $21.99 (JA1464) as lifetime warranty and I had a $5.00 off $25.00 coupon (picked up some needed small things to get to $25.00).

I compared the before and after and couldn't really tell any difference in fan speeds for position 2 and 3. Based on what I think is the date code on what I pulled out, it looks like it was the original one that came with the Jeep.

Thanks all for the information you guys provide here!
