I know its a bit cheeky but I need a bit of local help. I live in Australia and will be over to the UK in a week for a holiday. I am hoping to be able to get hold of a fan resistor pack for a 93 Vogue SE but am having problems sorting something this end. All I can find is some sort of upgraded unit that goes with and upgraded fan and nothing doing a search here. If anyone can point me toward a standard one please can you help, a good used one is fine ( if there is such a thing ) I will be in the UK for 3 weeks staying in Canturbury and Hook, Hampshire so have time to get something posted.
Yes, this is the symptom of the the resistor failure. I think its a pain in the A*S to fit though.
A couple of posts from other sites..........
A common problem is for the fan to only work on high (III) setting. The most likely cause is the blower speed control resistor going bad. David Corcoran reports that the part looks like a cigar and you can see it if you look through the plastic grills on your hood (or take them out to see). It sits on the firewall and you can't get to it unless you remove the decker panel which is a lot of work. (Accordingly, it can cost several hundred dollars of labor to get the dealer to fix it). The part itself is inexpensive (on a 1990 RR the part number is PRC 8010, and costs about $40).

After researching this subject as mine also only works on high, the above aftermarket item seems the way to go as a stock replacement will rust/fail again.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread BUT the resistor mentioned above is not the one that is associated with the main heater motor. The one under the decker panel is the resistor unit for the Air Conditioning so changin it is unlikely to have any effect whatsoever on your heater blower.
