Seriously? Owners can't replace an open 47 ohm 5 watt resistor??? That's a standard part available from any electronics part jobber. I know recent cars are locked down with computer chips in many subsystems so the owner is forced to buy those subsystems from the dealer rather than from a boneyard -- but a RESISTOR??? What the heck is going on here? PS - 4kw strikes me as a pretty feeble heater.
