My a/c blower was making a womp womp noise like a helicopter and driving me nuts. I replaced the blower and it wasn't it so I replaced the resistor, this time I went ahead and got the one you splice in since I have replaced the other kind multiple times as they don't last. Watched a video on removing the terminals of the connector instead of splicing and thought that would look cleaner.
First off was a real PITA getting those connectors apart and getting the terminals out. They may come apart but I don't think they were made too. Once I get it together I find out something went wrong with the signal wire as it was not getting voltage to turn on the fan. Had to run to the parts store to buy another resistor just to get the wire harness (I didn't want to wait for shipping a wire harness to me).
All is well now but I will never try that again.
