Hiace fan resistor

I've only got speeds 3 & 4 on heater fan, does anyone know location of resistor pack?


Not exactly - but I can give you a series of reliable clues...

  • It has a rectangular cover plate that mounts with screws into the side of the duct.
  • It will be within a foot of the fan wheel outlet.
  • It will be in the side of the heater duct in the direct airflow. The resistor has to have continuous air over or it toasts.
  • It will most likely not be in the fan intake duct because there's a Fresh/Recirc selector valve flap there. Neither side has reliable airflow at all times.
  • It will have a multiple conductor wiring harness plugged in that leads to the fan switch on the dashboard on one end, and the other end goes to the fan motor power leads - follow the fan motor cable back.

You might have to stick your hands on the top side of the duct, or get a hand mirror around to see it on the firewall side (and get a super-stubby or right-angle ratchet screwdriver to R&R it), or take the glovebox liner out to see and reach it on the top surface - but it's got to be somewhere in that immediate area.
