This is rather stupid so please bear with me. The blower motor in my 89 740 finally succumbed to old age. I found another one in the local yard that was living in a 90 - 740, so I removed same and cut the wires 5 inches above the plug. Got ready to install and noticed that the 89 female plug looked somewhat tiny compared to the 90..Well no sweat, I will splice in the wire that I removed with the 90. So like an idiot, I cut the orginal harness (89) up about four inches from the plug right behind what I thought was an inline splice. Surprise !!! That was not an inline splice, it's what appears to be a resistor ..solid copper wire wound around a plastic rod. My guess is this has (had) something to do with the blower motor speeds. Anyone else out there been there and done that ..and what did you do ? I can hear it now..as a mechanic you make an excellent dishwasher..any help would be appreciated. I looked in the FAQ section..but no luck..
