I was curious if it might be worth ones time to buy new, (i.e. how hard is it to pull this part) so had a quick look through my Rabbit etc. '75-'92 Haynes. '85+ likely different, but in looking, it seems the earlier MY resistor shown in the image below might be the same, or very similar to the Vanagon.
True?
That blower motor sure looks close to the Vanagon one.

I did some internet digging and they look to be the same but I couldn't prove it so I didn't post...but they sure do look the same ...are they NLA too?

Seems it's from a Mk1. Shows resistor, but not PN. Maybe more info over there?

I searched through some old notes on blower fan resistors.
Maybe something like this is an option?
http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/motor/ck1400.htm
If this is suitable, maybe "kill two birds" so to speak as this would replace switch and resistor?
Neil.

Kaiser Soze I owe you big time! It was the switch...just ordered 2 one for backup or in case it goes NLA
Okay this weekend if I can sneak off I'm going to a pull-a-part and grab a resistor pack from a rabbit and a MKII and try to reverse engineer us a resistor pack.

Where did you order the switch and how much was it?

I tried the resistor from the rear blower.
I made the smoke come out of the wire.
So that's out.
