Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / January 2008Blower motoer
I took my 1999 Camry CE to an auto shop because the fan only works on high. They took apart the glove box and were going to replace the resistor but say the connector is hosed. Went to the dealer as the connector is a dealer part. Went back to have both parts install, Oops! Wrong part. So now I'm waiting for the right part to come in. Is this a normal repair or am I being scammed? Norm > I took my 1999 Camry CE to an auto shop because the fan only works on > high.

Did it melt due to a short (there should be a fuse to prevent that)? The connector is quite protected, behind a plastic panel, so I can't see it being damaged unless the guy pulled it off by the wires or something. It sounds suspicious to me. If the mechanic didn't yank it loose (verify but also give the benefit of the doubt), it may be because the resistor overheated. It's basically a power resistor that generates heat and needs cooling in the air stream. > I took my 1999 Camry CE to an auto shop because the fan only works on > high.
