As the temperature rises, it is vital that cooling components are in proper working order. However, often in-car temperatures can be hard to control because of the failure of a common component.

Parts specialist febi says that Blower Resistors can be prone to problems in many vehicles. These key components are responsible for the control of the blower motor and its fan speed. Because these adjustments are very frequent, the resistors are subject to huge amount of stress, which over time can ultimately lead to failure. A failing Blower Resistor can cause many problems with the way the heating/air conditioning operation works and can create a variety of issues with the system.

febi says that common symptoms of a failing Blower Resistor are: the Blower Motor remains on the same setting, no air exit the vents and certain settings that are chosen may not work.
