Blower only works on high? Post your resistor and melted connector photos

Classic GMT800/GMT900 summer problem: fan speeds 1–4 dead, only high works. That’s the blower resistor — high bypasses it, which is why it survives.

But here’s the part worth discussing: a lot of us have replaced that resistor more than once. The repeat offenders are almost always a melted connector pigtail making bad contact, or an aging blower motor pulling too much current and cooking every new resistor you feed it.

Show us what you found:

  • How many resistors have you been through, and did the pigtail look melted?
  • Anyone actually clamp-meter their blower motor before/after? What did it draw?
  • Did replacing the motor along with the resistor finally end it?

Post the crustiest burnt resistor and connector photos you’ve got — best worst-case wins bragging rights.
