Cabin fan has only one speed - MAX

Thanks Yendor. Haven't had chance to look yet, but hopefully will soon.

I have the same problem with my 03 GU. I was goggling the proper name for this resistor and come upon this site, so hi and thanks

Gentlemen: Thanks for your posts of 2012. Had same fan problem this week (Nov 2014) in 1998 gu 2.8. Your posts saved me a lot of fault-finding. Thanks.

Thanks all for the info, it was easy to diagnose and find the resistor pack after reading this. I ordered the new resistor (20 bucks cheaper than dealer) from Patrolapart. painless and easy, great forum thanks guys. as a matter of interest if anyone else had there resistor fail was it due to rust on the one corner of the resistor heat sink causing a break in the resistor card circuit? just wondering if its a known weak spot. Reason I ask is that I recently had the Nissan dealer fit a Nissan snorkel and found that the self tapping screws for the snorkel mount on the a pillar had worked loose to the point that they were almost out. we have had massive storms here in Brisbane and surrounding areas so I wondered if the water had got into the car from the A pillar holes and rusted out the heat sink??

Can you post a photo of the resistor?. They do have a fusible section in the circuit board that is designed to burnout just like a fuse.

If you had water leaking into the vehicle you would smell it by now.

Spring Mountain that's a cool place to live.

Its definitely not a designed fusible section. I could see the rust bubbling on the corner and as a result went right through the outer resistor track. I have included a photo that I got from the net and circled the area where the rust was. (mine is back in the car waiting for the Patrolapart to arrive)

yes Spring mountain is like going back to the way it was.. kids visiting other kids on dirt bikes, horses walking around and the odd GQ belting it out on the horse trail behind my house. I love the silence (and yes the sound of the dirty six belting it out as well)) the freedom and space. no traffic lights etc. good place to live. are you near there Yendor

[Yendor]

The fuse section is just up from where you have circled. I haven't seen any rust like yours has.

I'm on the right as you come into Spring Mountain, just off Natasha Ct.

small world.. my name is Tony, and as my forum name suggests I am on Bowerbird close. look out for a silver GU with light stalk at the rear. honk your horn or flash me if you see me !

I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm only new to the area, one thing I noticed is that most people are real friendly and will give you a wave.

I have a white GU with steel bull bar and ARB awning mounted on the passenger side roof.

Cheers Rodney
