THANKS for the final stage resister DIY

Just want to say THANK YOU for this great write up on replacing the Final stage resistor, It is hot as hell in Atlanta and my Blower died . Did some search and found the Final stage resistor DIY. got my part from the dealer today for $98. with this DIY I replace my FSR in 20 min, I did not have to remove the Glove Box which was a big time saver. Now my baby is blowing COLD again . Thank you

Here is the DIY http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/m...placement.html

Use this DIY and you will be fine, its pretty easy, I did it without removing the glove box, but it a pretty tight squeeze to reach the FSR.

Me Too!

I just replaced my FSR a few minutes ago. I removed the glove box though. I bought a new FSR off Ebay for $65 plus $7.50 for shipping. Thanks X5 World for the DIY! I love it.
