[QUOTE="Mickey Luis, post: 1027645, member: 67962"] Had a similar problem on my '01 Explorer. I first replaced the resistor and then the pigtail and it still remained the same with problems with the fan speeds. I also changed the relay under the air cleaner and changed the inside heater control switch under the radio. It was the fan motor itself that wouldn't spin freely and was dragging and making it draw extra current and quickly burning out the new fan motor resistor. Just take the fan motor out of the engine compartment and spin it by hand to see if it's dragging. Then recheck the resistor (I made the wrong assumption the resistor couldn't be burnt out since I had just replaced it) to make sure it's not burnt out again by the dragging fan motor. Good Luck!
