The thing that looks like a heater element is the blower motor resistor.
Yes it's a resistor, not a heater element(although that would have been more useful I bet). Some have the resistor, most don't. I have one of each sitting around. Did the resistor-equiped ones have a 2-speed switch for the defogger or where they just setup with the resistor to lower fan speed to keep the noise down?
Mine just has on/off.
I was wrong Just looked again. It does, in deed, have a hi/lo switch.
