Blower Resistor Continuity Specification Tables
Sooner or later the blower resistor is going to fail. As you've seen so far, testing it is a pretty easy affair.
In the following table I've recorded the results I got testing one on a Ford Ranger.
I can tell you that you're probably not going to see the exact same resistance values and that's OK. The important thing to remember is that if your multimeter shows you a NO continuity test result (indicated by the letters OL on your digital multimeter), the resistor block is bad and needs to be replaced.
| Terminal | Terminal | Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 2.1 Ohms |
| 1 | 3 | 0.7 Ohms |
| 1 | 4 | 1.0 Ohms |
| 3 | 4 | 0.9 Ohms |
| 2 | 3 | 2.6 Ohms |
| 2 | 4 | 3.1 Ohms |
