Posted May 30, 201113 yr comment_357241 I accidently plug the wrong connector on the fan unit (6 wires) and fried the coil thingy. Any one know what it does? Also, any idea where I can get another one?

May 30, 201113 yr comment_357245 If you're referring to the open coil resistance at the exit to the fan housing, that's the voltage restrictor for the different fan speeds. They're typically riveted to the fan housing.I don't know of a way to replace/repair that. You could probably find another blower unit to cannibalize.Sorry, HTHE Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/39727-anyone-know-what-the-heater-coil-thing-is-in-the-heater-unit/#findComment-357245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 30, 201113 yr comment_357273 When you say you fried it, does it still read resistance?It might have glowed red hot but may still be OK.You could fit one from a late model car and it will work fine.

May 30, 201113 yr Author comment_357292 Thanks folks. It is a set of three little coils about 1.5 inches long right next to each other. They were not riveted in, rather had two screws holding in. When I say fried, I mean that I melted the housing and crispified the wires where they attach to to coils.
