Heater Blower resistor

Okay, but did you get the part about resistors from other cars fitting? I got mine from a Celica and it was the same thing.

I tried the wreckers down here. As soon as they heard "Tercel" they knew they'd not have any. They could get it. For a huge price. <_<

We've got a Central Science Laboratory here at UTas that do all sorts of mechanical stuff. They've been great. They set me up with about the right length of NiChrome wire.

However, the ends have been soldered using silver solder, not normal stuff. You can't solder NiChrome, unfortunately. <_<

So tomorrow, I ask the feller with the gas axe as to whether he can do it for me. All I've got to do is take the pins out of the plastic socket, as the gas axe'll destroy it.

So, this time tomorrow, I should have a working heater.

At last. Slow moving hot air.....

I can send one to you for about 5 bucks.

Hey, does anyone have a extra blower motor resistor laying around they'd sell me? Mine has a broken wire. Napa is charging $30 for theirs, and I wanted to check with you guys before I go to a junkyard and start pulling apart toyotas.

Edit: Nevermind, went and bought one from Toyota... their price was the same as other auto parts stores, and they could actually get it in...
