Blower wiring

[Gussie2000]

Hi sam !

I realized you got the VX's dash almost completely out.

You can purchase a new or used in good conds switch where you can use a dremel & drill a small hole big enough to hold the LED light bulb.

From the pics you've posted i strongly believe that the two loosen wires goes plugged to the blue plastic connector.

Now,your job is to determine which is + & - on the wires,from the pics with your fingers holding the blue plastic connector the blue wire with the white line should be the +,however use your multimeter to verify that.

I can also see a red wire hanging from the rear of the dash,what is it.

Thanks Gussie! I don't believe I will be able to tell for sure until I get a new blower resistor though, or maybe I can. I will have to try some things with my meter to know for sure.

I also plan on replacing a bunch of those little bitty dash light bulbs. Most of mine in that area don't work. That should help spruce it up a bit.

You don't need the OEM resistor to placed it there,what you got to find out is the resistor's OHM conductivity;With that info you can then choose proper one to add it from any warehouse store such as homedepot.Sorry i can't tell since i never dealt with this issues on the VX,However i can recall running a all brand new wiring to have the radiator's fan working on my old GEO tracker & had to use a toogle switch to turn it on for those hottie summer days.

If you can't figure out the resistor's OMH conductivity call St charles isuzu & ask for merlin,merlin is the man that can save you time,actually you shall give him a call right now (1-636-441-4481) remeber to mention that you're a VX.info member & shipping will be on merlin.

Good news. Yesterday I was able to repair my resistor and put everything back together properly. Now I have a fully functioning heat/air setup.
I found an old post with how to fix it by "wadestock" here:

I decided to go for it. I figured why not, if I couldn't fix it then I would have to buy another one anyways. I used my dremel and cut in to the bottom of the plastic tab that covered the connections. Then I grabbed it with needle nose and snapped it off.
Here is the resistor with the plastic broke off. I grabbed the metal tabs and curled them with my pliers so that they wouldn't try to spring up anymore.



Then I heated up the solder and added a little to it. She's as good as new. If it breaks again, I can fix it.

Great sam,you all set up.

I guess the PO didn't knew how to figured out the problem & went the easy way.
