02/CRV, no heater fan = bad resistor(?)
All of a sudden our CRV's heater fan quits, but heat still finds its
way to the vents. Windows eventually defrost, but this will be a big
problem in Newfoundland later this winter. The local Honda dealer
diagnosed the problem as a "resistor" needing to be replaced. The
part is on order, but it'll cost me $200+install!!
My question is what kind of resistor plays a part in the fan failure,
let alone a $200 resistor? What options do I have?
TIA & cheerios from the Avalon Peninsula

Your parts diagrams are at www.slhondaparts.com, and it's actually a
TRANSISTOR, I think.
Here's a few threads about fixing it yourself.

If you're handy, call back and cancel the part from the dealer...
