I've heard these can be repaired, and as I work where they have an electronics repair room I thought I'd get them to sort it for me.

I know you drop the glovebox, and I'm assuming its the black rectangle with the connector going in? Secured by 2 screws?

I searched but nothing had pictures of what it is.

That's it. Just take the screws out and it'll pull right out. You should see that the resistors are disconnected at some point, this is why your fan doesn't operate at all speeds.

I have never known these to be repairable and since they are so cheap you should just get a new one like metioned. These are not like Main relays that can be resoldered, I would be interested to know if these can be fixed...............if new ones were not so cheap to replace

I don't think they can be soldered, the resistors have some weird coating on them. But then again, I'm not a electrical guru.

IT GUY

the weird coating smells horrible when it burns off... lol

the resistors for each fan setting are just thin coiled wire covered in before mentioned coating. I don't know how to go about fixing that, I don't think soldering will work like wizco said

Thanks for that, I'm in England and the general rule over here is, you go into the spares dept, drop your pants, take it from the rear by Mr Honda, and then pay a ridiculous amount for something that would be cheap from another manufacturer.

You get one for $25 I got a quote for £85 thats approx $161!

if it can be fixed it will be!

Thanks all,

Stu

Then your asking for the wrong part! $161 is WAY too high to be the right price...$35-$40...Maybe. I bought one from Acura for my 92 GSR and it was only $25.00 or so (hard to remember) but I know for a FACT $161.00 is the wrong price


edit:
See I just found the part online for $22 bucks! #5 on the page

Try to go junkyard diving if at all possible. I fixed mine a few years ago for $2.00 (entrance fee, and pockets lol).
