The resistor in the heating/air conditioning system controls the blower speed. As the fan speed switch is turned, the resistor adjusts the amount of current to the blower motor, changing the fan speed.
The way to reset a therapeutic heating pad when it says F2 is to unplug the heating pad. It the error code F2 is still showing, you will need to call the company or return the heating pad in case of malfunction.
no, it wont work because of safety mech. which does not allow gas to be released. this is usually either a bad thermocouple or pressure switch malfunction (or broken hose to switch connection).
Typically this points to a defective blower motor resistor.
The HVAC resistor pack is used to provide the various speeds of the blower motor for heating and A/C. According to other sources, the resistor pack mounts to the rear of the blower motor, which is located under the passenger side dash.
A resistor, which converts some electric energy to thermal energy!
The power dissipated by a resistor is E2/R .If the "25volt" is the potential difference (voltage) between the ends ofthe resistor, then the resistor dissipatesE2/R = (25)2/10 = 62.5 watts .That's quite a fair amount of power ... more than you could expect to dissipatefrom a typical carbon composition resistor. This particular resistor is somethinglike a heating coil in a toaster or a large acquarium, for example.
drop your glovebox lid down and the resister is there held in with 2 screws very easy to replace
Yes it can. One example is using a resistor ( a heating element ) to turn electricity into heat.

"Malfunction" is not very specific as these components can malfunction in a variety of ways.Blower motor not work at allBlows on high speed onlyTemperature cannot be adjusted...just to name a few.See "Related Questions" below for extensive coverage of these and many other common problems with Taurus/Sable heating problems.
It is on the heating unit on the back facing away from the inside of the car. Not an easy place. Service manual tells you to remove the whole unit to get at it. Which means removing the heating and cooling pipes that enter the back of the car under the heating unit and pulling the heating unit out.
Heating anything to a visible change is ALWAYS a chemical change
