Blower motor connector (resistor) wire connector plug melted

[01saharatj]

Went to replace resistor and found one wire had had melted in the plug itself... so I actually need a new “pig tail connector” or blower motor wire connector.. its melted and needs replaced so all 4 positions will work currently only 3 can someone give me a part number or recommendation where to get it thanks

I bought this Dorman resistor kit afew years ago and it came with the resistor and wiring pigtail.

The usual cause of melted wiring in the fan circuit is a bad fan motor with shorted windings. That's the usual cause of the excessive current that melts the wiring and connector.

But motor still works on other settings

That doesn't mean the motor isn't also drawing excessive current. That would explain the melted wiring and connector.

☝What he said.

Just replacing the resistor and wiring harness temporarily cures the symptom. Replacing the blower motor cures the underlying problem. Its fairly easy and cheap

Yep motor blower on order and new pig tail also
