A resistor is a material that attenuates the current through a conductor. An insulator isolates the conductor from the surrounding material.
Sometimes called flameproof resisters, they are resistors that are designed to open without flames when they are overloaded.
It is a resistor that is built so that if the current flow through it exceeds a certain amount, the resistor will 'blow', or open up inside to stop the current flow.
A: If you know the total resistance and total voltage then you know total current flow for the circuit, this current will be same for every resistor in series however the voltage drop will change for each resistor . So measuring the voltage drop across the resistor in question and divide by the total current will give you the resistor value.
Put the resistor symbol ie zig zag. Then put a crossing line with arrow headed at the top.
Then the voltage in will equal the voltage out. The purpose of a resistor is to reduce the amount of electrical flow of current. You 'short out' the supply and blow a fuse/circuit breaker.
gG FUSES IS FAST ACTING BUT THE mA FUSES ARE TIME DELAY FUSES
Need to know which fuse u want to find out... There are quite a few different fuses in the fuse box. 10A 20A 30A, fuse for fan, fuse for Engine, fuse for horn?
Fuse resistor?
you will find the resistor mounted in the air duct near the fan motor
It is in the under hood fuse box, 40 amps. If your fan is inoperative, the problem is probably a failed blower resistor. The resistor is located behind the glove box.
If you mean the HVAC fan, the resistor should be located within the fuse block.
The resistor on a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville SE is located in the engine compartment, contrary to many posted forum answers. It is on the passenger side against the firewall, directly located beneath the maxi fuse panel. There are two bolts attatching the fuse panel to the firewall. Disconnect the battery for safety, remove the maxi fuse cover (3 attatchment points), and remove the two bolts of the maxi fuse center located on the far ends of the panel. You will need a deep socket, extention, and ratchet for this task. Slightly move the whole fuse panel forward, exposing the blower motor resistor. Remove the vibration retaining clip from the resistor connector. Next, disconnect the resistor. Unscrew the three sheetmetal screws holding the resistor. Replace resistor and reverse instructions to replace all items.
its behind the fuse box
Since you're checking the resistor, I would assume you checked the fuse/relay for the blower motor. If not check that. If you have then there would be an open wire between the relay and the resistor.
no you idiot you have to get a recharge !
Blown blower motor fuse? Bad blower motor or resistor? Check to see if you are getting power to motor - if so motor is bad if not check fuse and/or resistor Bad switch?
You are looking at the wrong fuse. The fuse you wish to check is the blower fuse.If the fuse is ok, these cars have a problem with the wire going to the resistor block burning up. The main power going into the resistor is probably burned off of the connector. The resistor sits inside the vent system under the passengers side dash.
Blown fuse? Bad switch Bad fan motor? Bad fan relay?
Typically , no. But if the blower motor has shorted out, it is possible.
