Final stage resistor (FSR) aftermarket or OEM?
OEM is a little bit more but is it more prone to breaking? Ebay has aftermarket for about $40. Cheapest OEM is $70 shipped. Thanks

I got an OEM from pelicanparts.com for $55.75 plus shipping. I had looked at the ones on Ebay as well but felt very unsure of the quality. The one form Pelican Parts was oem and only slightly higher than the ones on Ebay. I received it in 3 days and installed in 10 minutes...works perfectly.

The aftermarket one works great. I replaced mine, it was $75 after shipping, with a new aftermarket one and it works great. All of my climate control issues have gone away.
