Happened to my 2000 too. Happened the day before I left for a trip up the California coast. This was over a year ago. 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.
