This is my first post on here so be gentile guys, I have a 1997 and I have been searching for the blower motor resistor for the A/C. it only blows on HI and getting cold air is nice but always hearing it blow to the max is driving me up the wall. Also I was wondering I you guys new any good places online to find parts because theretards at Auto Zone have pissed me off for the last time…well any input you guys might have would be great thanks a bunch!

Get the part from sponsor Gary Smith at Toy of Newnan. 30% off true list for TN members. Great guy, great service. He can also tell you location.

I surmise this place is heavily subsidized (owned, or whatever) by Toyota company. It would seem you say something other than "go to the dealer and bend over" at your peril. After the welcome I have experienced, being new here myself, I really could care less...

Yes, autozone has become something only the extremely hip can use. Many of their parts are garbage - their brake rotors, for example! O'Riley will price-match autozone and their stuff is worlds better. Then there's rockauto.com. I've yet to have a problem with anything I bought there.

Surmisals are worth the effort expended to reach them.

I base my recommendations on the quality of the products offered, compared to the price charged. And I simply will not deal with people or businesses that display a lack of integrity.

If I had such disdain for the people and advice here, I would simply stay away, not keep coming back to complain.
