I recently changed the blower resistor in my car.
see http://www.2carpros.com/forum/here-vp344226.html#344226

However, not 2 months after I replaced it, it is bad again. Now, I am guessing this is electrical, but I have no idea were to start. Any suggestions?

New parts doesn't always mean good parts. Parts sometimes fail well before they should. I recommend replacing it again. If it fails quickly again, then you could have another problem.

That is what I decided to do a couple days ago. I forgot to save the receipt so I had to pay full price for it. Oh well, Hopefully this one will fix the problem.

Thanks for the reply.

It would be a good idea to keep the parts receipts in the glove box.
