Subject:      Radiator fan resistor
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Last week the fan resistor in Fun Bus failed on the way to see my son in the hospital. As many of us know the Vanagon resistor is no longer available and we have been using the Eurovan version part # 701959263D. The dealer list for this is now $103 so I tried to order from a number of list vendors with no luck. So reluctantly I ordered one form the dealer. I picked it up today and guess what! It has been redesigned. It will still fit in the original bracket but it is oval in shape and the resistance wire is considerably larger. It appears they finally realized the original design just couldn't handle the load. Anyway, it look like it is worth the cost if it reduces the failure rate. Unfortunately for us Vanagon folk we still have to adapt the wiring.
