99 Olds Intrigue, blower fan resistor

99 Olds Intrigue,
The blower fan resistor has needed replaced 4x. What 'bad' side effects could I run into if I leave the defective resistor screwed in place and just plug the new one in and not actually intall it. I ask this assuming that they go bad from water infiltrating the air vent and ruining the resistor.

It will burn out. Air flow in the heater box cools the resistor. These resistors get very hot when the blower is running.

    does the heater fan have a fuse? It was fine when I shut the car off and not working when I turned it on again 8 hours later.

Heater blower not working

put 12 volt power to terminals on fan itself, if the fan works its the switch thats bad. or a fuse or relay ! if need be try and get another switch from same vehicle at junk yard. because the dealers are out to rob you. replace switch if motor and fuses are good. check the wires at motor to see if they are getting voltage. if not the switch is bad. sometimes if blower motor resistor is bad, fan will not blow on any speed. check this first. its beside the fan motor. if you need more info, just type in on computer. location of blower motor 2001 intrigue. good-day !

99 Olds intrigue heater fan now only has 1 speed(high). Would this be the fan or the heater control panel?

I just did this fix to mine. It is the blower motor resistor that is located between the fan motor and the firewall. You will have to remove the trim panel, under the dash. Then you will be able to remove the fan motor. The fan plugs directly into the resistor. You can get the part at checker for about $32.

HVAC intermittent problem with 2002 Olds Intrigue

I assume you are talking about whether or not the blower fan is running. I had a similar problem. The likely cause is the resistors that control the motor speed. I took off the resistor pack and because it didn't look like any of the electronics were damaged I replaced the blower motor and that fixed it. One or the other, or both should do it.
Check fuses first.

A/C BLOWER

Older cars sometimes have many difficult problems, especially the wires problem, it is very hard to find out which wire got trouble, I think your Olds wire got hot sometimes before and some wires connected together and by pass.

Olds is GMC products, the plastic sucks easy to melt, sometimes also cause the engine over heat, because the cooling fan doesn’t work right.

Good luck, my friend.
