It might be worth messing around with faulty devices if your finances are an issue.

Replacing a faulty resistor on a 2005 Honda Pilot. I will mention that I replaced the faulty fan motor first, so a faulty or weak fan was not the cause of this resistor failure. The resistance worked for about 15 minutes before a false smell of burning emerged and the digital screen on the central instrument panel began to respond. In addition, the fan motor could not be switched off via the controller. It appears a replica of this resistor was bought from a local parts store for $100 and didn't have the same problems as this one. Both replacement parts have 4 cooling fins compared to 2 on the original part. New parts use a minimal amount of thermal paste. This faulty resistor had a 2 amp rating engraved on the harness receiver. While the ones from the store don't.

Pros
  • Superb Design
