Hi Mark, thanks for the nice article and the nice pictures.

I drive a Renault Scenic wich has the same resistor module. I replace every year the pollen filter but last year the module still become faulty.
What I did was replace the pins from an old rear light module that has te same pins. After half an hour soldering the problem was over.
The only big problem was to find and dismount the module... I had to take a great part of the car's dashboard to dismount the module. All the work took about half a day! I'm glad I am retired (grin).

Hey Robert,
My soldering iron was put through it's paces, mainly because I forgot about the heat sink!
I guess that's what the sink is for - to dissipate heat - which doesn't help when you are soldering!

Hey Yogesh,
Thanks for your comments. Yes, these motors will get a lot of dust in them if the filter is not replaced on a regular basis.
That's why maintenance is so important!
