blower motor resistor???

I just replaced the blower motor resistor on my 2001 Grand Cherokee a month ago and now again this morning on the way to Menards I noticed the two middle settings on the fan weren't working again ! Is it a bad resistor or is something else causing the resistors to go out? It was -11 this morning and I need to have the heater setting working right........... Any ideas ????

Thanks in advance.

Yeah. You're going to have to replace the blower motor as well. It's drawing too many amps, probably because of stiff bearings.

I think I mentioned this on your last post about the resistor.
