Thanks for the tip, Nis. I had a Ford dealer do the recall. The hot smell was there before, and it's still there now. Had been wanting to get in there myself, but now I'll have a new resistor ready, and also see if I can figure out the smell. I know it has to do with the resistor, because I only get the smell while running the blower on low. The various speeds have always worked alright otherwise.
Lately I've been noticing a "hot smell" after driving to or from work, about twenty mins. or so. It seems most noticable when I stop at a light, or pull into the driveway. I run the fan on 1 or 2 usually, and the smell seems to come from the center dash vents. Is this what you guys experienced? All fan speeds still work. Last September I took the car in for the 01S22 recall. They checked the resistor and said it was fine. Suppose now it's not?
