What could be compatible with this?

Have a 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada with 125k miles. The AC fan sometimes goes out. We were not sure if it was the fan or the resistor going out, so I purchased (from Advance Auto Parts) HVAC Blower Motor Resistor # RUC1013 and Single Shaft Vented CCW Blower Motor w/ Wheel # 35237. When changing it, we noticed that the Resistor was not compatible. So we only replaced the Blower Motor. Left the mechanic and it worked well. Cold air and fan blowing well. Stopped by the store and when I got back to turn the car on, no air. I was told by Advance that the resistor I have is no longer available. The part number is valeo asm 52494707. I have searched all over God’s creation for this part, but to no avail. What could be compatible with this? It is hotter than a pig’s tail in Orlando FL,

Sweating and desperately seeking help -

I believe that part number was superseded by P/N 15-80186

Most salvage yards have the abiltiy to contact other yards for parts . Ask your local yard if they will serch for one. Or contact an Air Conditioer shop and see if they can find one or something that will work.

Things change in 20 years. You can do a regional or nation-wide search on [car-parts.com](http://car-parts.com). They may not list just that part but you could look for other Bravada parts and give them a call on the module. (if that’s what the issue is-mine failed so the blower was always on, so the symptoms are different.)

A “Blower Control Module” is usually not the same part as a “Blower Motor Resistor”. Perhaps that name-difference is why you are having difficulty sourcing the part you need.
