So your out on the road and your fan control stops working, either full blast or nothing. All you got is a pair of pliers..what to do? Simple..take out the fan control (and hope you got the older cage version, not the PCB version) , either under the glove box or in the plenum under the hood and break the large wire that has the resistor looking thing on it. bend the resistor off and short both ends of the cut wire to the metal cage. Now you got full control of fan speed again! Get yourself the newer PCB version as a replacement and never worry about it again.
