A variable resistor gives the user more control over the resistance, as it allows for variance or for the resistor to be changed in order to meet the resistance requirements of the user. Changing the resistance as a user is actually very simple.
Q. How do you remove a fan speed resistor?
Difficulty
Table of Contents
- Remove the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the blower motor resistor on the passenger side under the dash board.
- Disconnect the electrical connector to the blower motor resistor.
- Remove the screws or bolts to the blower motor resistor and remove the resistor.
- Installation is the reverse of the removal.
Q. What are the types of resistor?
Types of Resistors
- Fixed Value Resistors. These are the predominant type of resistor configuration, and as the name suggests, they have a fixed resistance value.
- Variable Resistors.
- Resistor Networks.
- Carbon Film Resistors.
- Metal Film Resistors.
- Wirewound Resistors.
- Metal Oxide Resistors.
- Metal Strip Resistors.
Q. Where are carbon resistors used?
For this reason the carbon composition resistor is still used in many applications today. Applications include the protection of circuits (surge or discharge protection), current limiting, high voltage power supplies, high power or strobe lighting, and welding.
Q. What is the benefit of resistor?
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.
Q. What type of resistor should I use?
A rule of thumb is to find a resistor with twice the power rating. Here I would choose a 250 mW resistor since those are the most standard ones. Usually, you can just use the cheapest resistor you can find with the correct power rating.
