Greetings all...
I'm replacing my resistor and blower motor (I've done some searches here - heater only worked on highest setting, AND the blower howls like a banshee on other settings).
Anyway, I pick up the parts from the local stealership, get everything bolted in, and go to plug it in, and I notice the connector on the blower motor is two-prong, but the prongs are oriented similar to that of a wall socket...whereas my wire harness has two horizontal prongs side-by-side.
The guy at the stealership said that my part # has been superseded a couple times over the years, but his system didn't tell him about any connector change - he couldn't help me out with any sort of adapter, or other part.
He said I could just cut the wires and splice them (probably easy enough), but I'm wondering if anybody else has had this issue and what you did about it?
Should I cut & splice? Get a motor at Auto Zone/Advance, etc., instead?
Any thoughts?
Thanks...
