Four Seasons HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:20601
Control how strongly the rear HVAC blower fan blows with this Four Seasons switch, the HVAC Blower Motor Resistor / Switch, part number 20588. This rear unit is made for the 1999-2003 Volkswagen Eurovan and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
A blower motor resistor sets how much current reaches the blower motor, so the fan can run at the different speeds selected at the controls. Four Seasons calls 20588 an HVAC Blower Motor Resistor, and it is also listed under the Switch part type. Both names refer to this same rear-position part.
Signs this part may need replacing include a rear fan that works on only some speeds, runs only on its highest setting, or will not run at all. The blower motor, control switch or wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a failed resistor is the problem, 20588 replaces it.
