Wantng to obtain one of the ceramic-style (about 2.5 inches long or so) radiator fan (low speed) resistors for an '85 Jetta TD mobile. This is found on the radiator shroud and clips between the steel holders.
Anyone with used one? Where to buy new if needed. What can I use as a substitute from the general population?
I used to have stuff like this and threw much of it away when I left the farm.....sheet.

86+ gas & n/a use ONE relay..
the low speed side of the fan is run DIRECTLY thru the fan switch..
only the HIGH SPEED side of things are on a relay..

If you get it running, buy yourself a little grey suit with a red bow tie, with white socks and ride around on it (a la Peewee Herman)! Just don't go into the adult theatres.

I'm afraid about %90 of the users on this site are too young to get this reference and at least %5 are too old, but I gotcha, and now have "tequila!" stuck in my head thanks.
