Hey guys,

I have a 1995 90 and the fan speed control for the manual temp control went out recently. I checked fuses but no luck, they were all good. Would the resistor for the speed control be out-where would this be located?

Recently did the heater core in Jan 2013 and everything was working up till a month ago. A/C should be working but the fan is not fast enough for me to tell

Any help would be appreciated!

The resistor can be found behind your glove box mounted in the airbox not too far from your blower motor.

One other thing you may have to check is the actual copper contacts on the HVAC control. I had dirty contacts before that kept the blower speeds from being selected.

Thanks Mike! Pulled it out. None of the wires are broken but could be bad on the inside where I cannot see anything. Went into O'Riely Auto Parts Saturday, they wanted $125 DOLLARS to replace mine. I laughed and left. Going to UpullRparts this week to try to find one for $3 (used) otherwise They have them online ranging from $25-$50. I also contacted some people parting out on here to see if they have one for like $10-$15.

Thanks for all the help. Should Have cold A/C in a week!

Audi engineers could have made this much easier.
They did improve it on later models but that does not help us at all.

LOL sell the car to me then. I have done a few and don't mind them as long as I have the time.

But to finish this topic, I replaced the resistor, took out the blower motor and cleaned/tested it, still runs good. I then pulled my manual controls out and also cleaned the connections and put everything back together. The last thing to do was an a/c recharge because after running the system, the a/c was not cold enough. Now I can see my breath when I run my a/c for 10 mins. I am so glad I fixed this because we are getting multiple 90+ degree days!
