Subject: Re: interior fan problem .... help please


I just brought my other car ( 92 VW GTI) from the repair shop. It had the same symptoms as your car (The fan worked normally at the highest speed (3), but not for speeds 1,2. Then it stopped working ) . It was the fan resistor. They charged me 2 hrs labor + resistor cost. Hope this helps Voitek Howard Bell <hsbellnopsamt.net> wrote in message news:e2an6.1680$jQ3.172713nopsam.uswest.net... > > I have a 1990 SAAB 9000, U.S. car.
