I patched up the old resistor and it's still working. Went to Ford, they wanted $33 for a new one. So I went looking on the net. Found the Ford part for under $10. But then I had to pay almost as much for shipping. The part came about 15 minutes ago. But the old part, with my patch job, still works. BTW: Had Ford do an Oasis search and there was no resistor problem listed for the 2000. Al

So I bought the kit for changing it over then I just took the 4 inches of wire out and plugged it straight into the resistor pack no problem. 98 T-Red SVT #540 98 T-Red GL ATX (Family Truckster)

I don't have a web page or place on the net to put it. Al

Thanks. Here is the picture: http://img123.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p10100299ky.jpg You can see my repair on the old resistor. I unwound some of the burnt section and just spliced the Nichrome wire. Cleaned the wire, twisted it together and soldered it. Solder doesn't stick to Nichrome, so twisting it is the trick. The Solder just holds it together. The new resistor was made in Germany. The connector is turned 90 degrees. Just for grins I ran the blower with the resistor in my hand just to see how hot it gets without the blower's airflow. Gets warm:) Al
