I'm one of the "lucky" few who've had the blower resistor fail. One of the coils just burned-up. I ohm'd-out about everything imaginable, installed two different CCU's that I'd repaired and that worked perfectly testing them (at least till this point) and checked everything you could imagine. I would never have imagined the blower resistor going out. It did though, so ever since then, I pull them at the junkyards and have a dozen or so in parts stock in the basement....

OK, so I'm obsessive about not having to pay retain for something if it breaks....
