I didn’t have spares in stock.  Pulled resistors out of the blower boxes from crx#5&9 I had parted out years ago.  Both of those had broken coils as well.  Honda potted the coils to insulate the vibration.  The potting is shot and falling off.  Some of the wires looked really corroded and thin.  Appears to just be a part that fails over time and needs replacing.   I pulled the resistor out of madmax, that one worked.  I found that Standard makes them. P/n ru-435.  Can be found for $25-43

 

i need to stock up on these.  W so many of my used parts failed, proof enough.  Suspect part for the rest of you to know about.

A few years ago you could still buy the resistor... when my fan speed failed, always the low speed, I was lucky to find a low mileage with a good resistor, so I never bothered to check hondaparts... funny as well that my seat belt also shriveled, the canvas, same civic at the junkyard got me a nice Driver and passenger belts.

Note: some later honda have a solid state resistor for the fan, I will have to look in my history to see if I can find any refnum, got it 2002-2007, civic , crv , accord, odyssey, looks very similar, same shape of the unit same connector on dabay

On the jeep, the spring broke, you can buy springs on dabay, there are different size, a bit tricky, never found the right size, the junkyard provided spares.

Thank you for the posts.... sylvania silver star... checking for headlight bulbs was the reason for my visit.... I bought some Hella 9004 HB1 plus, but they were non operational from the get go...  In fact this is the second lightbulb purchase from amazunk that was a dud.

very nice detailled project. The R134 in Cal is $13 plus the governor tax of $9 that you get back when you return the can... 

I was lucky a few years ago, I got a fully sealed whole AC at the junkyard... I did not expect it, but when I unplugged the first hose... fortunately slowly, all that R12 went up in the air... too bad... not in my eye while I was hunched over the radiator!

I did not bother with the sanden TR70 because of all the bad rap for it being a hog on the power... for sure, my joke: check the turbo... as soon as the AC is off I must gain 10HP...  I can't remember what I installed... as compressor, but it is borderline with the R134, I have to run full fan speed... I should probably install a parallel flow condenser

Thank you for posting your findings. I will check my aftermarket back up water pump and post infos for the 86 DX , passed 190K a few weeks ago! and last week it seems that I have the red dust of death in the distributor cap!

Checked the stash, I have #H-22 with the forged impeller, it came with a Gates timing belt kit from rockauto... temp tend to go up a bit in stop and go traffic... but nothing above mid level.
