    Default What was it?

    I bought and installed a new blower resistor today which didn't fix my non-functioning a/c blower. Guess what will be the fix. Will it be the Blower Motor , the Final Stage Unit or the Control panel ( knobs and sliders). I am guessing the blower motor itself. The controls light up, change between heat and a/c which also turns on when selected and i hear the stepper motors operating when i select or deselect the cabin air recycle so unless that middle switch which operates the blower is bad then the Controls are good and its either the black box or the blower.. I haven't seen the brain prices anywhere yet ,maybe i don't know where to look on Real OEM but not wanting to blow cash needlessly and as the blower motor also requires ,i think, a coolant drain/refill at a shop = $$$ I hesitate doing that first. Are the IHKA's pricey?

    Unlike Supercharging or Carbon Fiber Hoods, Climate Control issues aren't very sexy ,but neither am I after a day driving in the Summer Heat.
