Default Root cause insight into the common BMW blower motor resistor failures

Maybe it's time to look at this thing like gas and brakes...
You put gas in, you go so far. You put one of these
blower modules in and you go for a few years again.
It's not like they are a $500 or $1000 puter. Don't they
cost like $50? I mean how much is time worth trying
to reverse engineer it.....


This is how people are. At some point intellectual curiosity takes over.

In this case it might actually be worth it, because of the sheer number of
the things out there that are failing.... one person figuring the failure
mode out might save a lot of people that grief.

But mostly it's just intellectual curiosity.
