A bad resistor is a resistor that has failed to perform its intended function, often due to damage, overheating, or manufacturing defects. This can result in incorrect resistance values, leading to circuit malfunctions or failures. Signs of a bad resistor may include physical damage, discoloration, or an open circuit reading when tested with a multimeter. In electronic circuits, bad resistors can disrupt the flow of current and affect the overall performance of the device.

Can a bad ac resistor cause the ac not to work?
Yes, a faulty AC resistor can cause the air conditioning system not to work properly. The resistor controls the speed of the blower motor, and if it fails, the motor may not operate at all or may only work at one speed. This can lead to inadequate airflow and ineffective cooling. Therefore, addressing a bad AC resistor is essential for restoring proper function to the AC system.
Why does resistor burn up?
cause its bad,replace with higher wattage rating.too much current !!
How do you calculate percentage error of a resister?
You don't, you read the tolerance markings. If you measure the resistor and it is outside the marked tolerance it is bad.
What is the function of a cement resistor?
A cement resistor is typically used as a power resistor (a resistor whose power rating is greater than 1 W).
What happens to the value of a resistor when it goes bad?
we can say that a resistor gone bad if 1. its resistance is different than that printed by the color code 2. doesn't conduct any current Resistors normally will burn open. Carbon resistors almost always do this, while wireound resistors can lower in resistance. They may still allow current flow, but it will not be correct.
How do you know if the blower motor resistor is bad?
A malfunctioning blower motor resistor will cause the blower motor not to work. When the resistor is bad the blower motors will not turn on.
How do you check to see if front blower motor resistor on a 2004 dodge grand caravan is bad?
Usually if the resistor is bad the heater will only run on full blast.
Why is your Dodge Grand Caravan not firing?
Bad coil? Bad rotor? Bad distributor cap? Bad Ballast resistor?
How do you test blower resistor 2003 Jeep liberty?
If you are missing the lower speeds but still have high speed, the resistor is bad.
What would cause blower motor to work on high only on a 2002 Dodge Durango?
either the control head is bad or there is a blower motor resistor that is bad.
Will bad ballast resistor on a 1978 D100 make engine die?
Yes it can. If there is a bad wire in your harness the ballast resistor will get hot, in which causes your coil to overheat and cut out or burn outline.
Why doesn't the air blow in a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero?
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?
Why is the Blower fan not working 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee ltd?
Blown fuse? Bad switch Bad fan motor? Bad fan relay?
Air con fan only working on speed 3and 4?
Bad resistor ? Bad switch?
On the 2002 Nissan Maxima when the blower resistor is bad does it make a vibrating noise?
A bad blower resistor will not make a vibrating noise by itself. Carefully remove the blower resistor (under the dash at the passenger side right foot area.) check to see that it is not hitting the fan. PS a bad blower resistor usually means that the blower will only operate at high speed. Usually a small fusible link on the resistor ceramic opens. Can be replaced with a small link of unmelted solder.
What does a blower motor resistor do if it is bad?
blower motor won't work
How can you figure out which to replace the blower motor or blower motor resistor on a 1994 Nissan altima?
Check to see if you have 12 volts at the blower motor. If yes then the blower motor is bad. If no, then the resistor, relay, or fuse is bad.
