Repinning the blower motor resistor?

[6cuda6]

So i ordered a new blower motor resistor at NAPA....BR530....which is what mine should have been but appon opening the box it is not the same as what
is in my coach.

The BR530 replaces all resistors of the pin variety according to the NAPA people....problem is mine has the 4 male pins arranged like a "t", 2 on top
and 2 accross bottom, not like the 3 accross the bottom with one on top.

Has anyone just pulled the pins and connected? If so what wires go were? (To buy the different connector is 50 to 75$$...not happening)

I can get a similar resistor by using Autozone part # DR798 but that ones resistors legs have a bit of a bend in them.

So do i open connect to the BR530 or wait till im in the US next week qand pick up a DR798 at Autozone and hope the bends dont matter?

Morning Rich. I have a 4 pin resistor and a 4 pin harness. But the bottom spot of the 'T' in the harness has no wiring to it. I suspect you could
eliminate that one. Will your 3point harness fit, just leaving the bottom spade connection on the resistor free?

Rich,

I faced the same issue but found the correct style on eBay. I think
77-78 used a different one. Is this one like yours?
