Hey thanks for that,
I actually bought a resistor from Merlin Isuzu which I was told was from a 1999/2000 VX. The problem I have is that when I took the resistor out of my 1997 it was a completely different mechanism. My JDM 1997 model appears to have a climate control system where as the replacement part I got from Merlin just controls the fan speed. I'm thinking I need to get a replacement resistor from a VX model with climate control? Can anyone shed anymore light on this?.....The good news is the part from merlin only cost 20 bucks!!!
