And the failure of it and my next idea here: Ceramic Reisistor Failure

I installed the aluminum housed resistor in the same place as the failed ceramic resistor. The first one I installed was a 50watt, 50 ohm resistor which didn't work very well. The footwell blowers would only come on for a minute or so and then go off.

Then I read this article by Bill Gregory Bill Gregory Tech Article regarding the backdate of a 964 and he recommended a 51 ohm 15 watt resistor.

Then it got warm out so I haven't actually switched out the 50 watt resistor for a 15 watt. I have no reason to believe it will not work. Here is where I purchased my resistors: Resistors, 10 Watt Wire Wound Resistors

From the tiny switch at the red levers, can you just connect them directly to the foot blowers, with a relay to get power from the ignition?

The resistor idea did not work, however, thanks to the hard work of fellow Pelican, Mysterytrain, we found that a simple crossover of the reed switch solves the problem. Read through this thread for how to do it. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/258473-help-does-anyone-understand-footwell-blower-circuit.html
