A big - re: a used high mileage car vs a new one, ProudLao and flint, check your

[theking]

Had to replace the blow motor resistor and connectors. ProudLao and flint, it's a common issue for the gen 2 Tacos based on my research and there's even a TSB for it so you should check yours too before it's starts to burn.. :




Yes, each of these yellow wires cost 9 bucks  :




You can see the burnt marks on these connectors:








New updated version vs old:

What year is this for? I think all old cars have issue one way or another. As for the burnt plug, there's definitely some thing wrong with that piece of equipment. Resistor? I don't know what it is but generally, resistors pick up more resistance the more it gets baked in over current. Capacitors on other hand, do short out...

2005-2015 Tacoma..and there's a TSB for it but Toyota will only fix it at no charge on a case by case situation since it's not a full blown recall...

I see. Looks like my bro's falls within that year make. Hopefully it don't act up too.
