I took a reading at the connector and have 12 volts. So does this mean it's the motor or where does the resistor fit into this. I looked for the resistor based on the location shown in some other posts but it's not up front behind the grill. Also, what does this part do? The number is 64116917001 and it says it's a sensor for the temp and fan that's sits near the connector and mounted on the shroud. My pic was too large to attach.

Appreciate any advice.
