Photo DIY- Fan Speed Regulator

Has your cabin fan suddenly "died"?? No air blowing out?

Well, chances are your fan speed regulator has died. You can double check by hooking up a 12 Volt Power Supply directly to the fan motor to make sure it is not the problem.

The regulator is, in my opinion, a RIDICULOUSLY overpriced item. It is nothing but a resistor. The dealer wants around $400!!!

I got mine at AutohausAZ for around $165. Granted, it the same brand which has only lasted me 6 years, but since the OEM lasted only 4......... well, do the math.

Anyhow, it's a super easy job, so don't pay someone $100+ to do it.
