Blower Motor Resistor

I just got one at autozone. 44 bucks tax and all. Parked under the shade tree and took about 5 minutes to remove the glove box and install it..... SO SWEET!

Here's the link to the one for my 90 b2200 SE http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...382&store=3850

That sounds like the AC compressor is seized, and the resistance makes a terrible sound and can even cause the engine to stop. The AC compressor normally comes on in the defrost position as well. For a short term "fix" to get the truck running for winter, cut off the AC belt or do not turn on either defroster or AC.

Same thing happened to my 2004 Frontier in September on way to California; I just turned off AC, replaced the compressor and drier once I returned.
