I unscrewed the resistor bank and it is burnt up. The 50 amp fuse did not
blow. The auto parts store I use said they do not have that part and it is
probably a dealer only part. Do any of you have a part number or supplier
for the resistor bank?

They are interchangeable....you don't have the factory connector? (But
yes...you can use properly fitting spade terminals).

Are they interchangeable if I am willing to put spade terminals on the
existhing wires?

Yup...the newer (ceramic) ones don't burn up like the older resistor boards.

Good info. My wiring harness had burn up before and I have spade terminals
on my wires plugging into the resistor bank. I can get some use from this.

The black one on the left is the original I pulled out. I had only high
speed working, so there was at least some of the resistor wire intact, but
the other taps were beyond the open.

The green one on the left is the replacement.

The left two terminals are common. The three on the right have different
resistance readings with a meter, leading to four total fan speeds.
