'94 4runner blower resistor removal & replacement

At least on my '85, its not too hard to reach, it can be removed and replaced w/o removing anything:

I just removed it on my '93. Two screws and it falls out. I didn't have to remove anything else. What are you trying to get out?

Well, mine just fell out too. I finally wrestled the old one out, and juggled the new one into place. It was a bear. I guess my troubleshooting was poor - the fan stil has the same symptoms now. The speeds are not correct; 2 is faster than 3, but 4 still gives full fan speed.

What next? The switch?

Thanks for the reply.

You could test the switch by checking its outputs at the resistor connector.

Thanks Roger, that's what I did after borrowing a factory manual. The switch checked good, but there were charred marks near terminal #2. I cleaned it up and reconnected the switch - it works for now. Looks like I'll be buying a new switch soon.

This was quite the experience.

Hmm. Good to know. I have the same problem. Looks like it's time to rip the dash out to get to the switch. Maybe I will order a new one at the dealer first. :) It's 105 out.
