I have been having problems similar to ones I've seen in the forums here where my blower motor is very sporadic. Sometimes it works, sometimes it comes and goes, and other times it won't come on at all. After reading some of the threads here, I figured that either the plug, the resistor, or both, were pretty much corroded. When I got the old resistor off, the coils were in decent shape, the plug on the resistor was fine, and the plug on the pigtail was fine. I really didn't see much corrosion, and the metal even still had some gleam to it. Not bad for a 17 year old resistor! 
Now, here's the part that I'm having issues with. When I was actually pulling the resistor out of the box, I noticed some type of finned device inside. What is this? Is this the heater core, or something else? The reason I ask is because ALSO inside the box was all kinds of old dead leaves and maple tree helicopters, and who knows what else. Is there an easy way to open the box and get all of that stuff out of there, and better yet, how did that stuff get up in there in the first place? That's the part that has me completely baffled!
On a side note, I went ahead and put the new blower motor resistor in and plugged it up, and there was no change in the blower motor. It still came and go as it pleased. I noticed that when I rev the engine a bit, the blower will come on almost full blast, and then slowly die off. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
