Over the weekend I installed a new interior fan motor and resistor. My fan was very squeaky, and would only turn on if I switched it to 4. The new fan took care of the squeak, and the resistor took care of the speed settings. For those that haven't replaced their resistor I'd recommend doing so (http://store.delorean.com/p-7593-resistor.aspx). Its a good Saturday afternoon project, and judging by how awful mine looked I'd assume if you're running on your original yours looks like mine. My guess is these are prone to moisture due to their location. The wires were hard and brittle. I eneded up cutting the wiring connector off and putting new spade connectors on.

How about pictures of the new pack and connectors?
I'll guess it will be a much nicer view, you may want to leave them hanging out for showing ;)

The resistor is worth checking too if your car has been outside for a long time. Leaves have been known to get down in the evap box and catch on fire from the heat of the resistor.

Glad you got your blower motor issues fixed, thanks for the photos!
