When you say resistor I am thinking relay. Resistor,s lower amperage. At any rate, Ford has electric switchs for setting 
hot and cold adjustments. Check your fuse box and replace any and all burnt fuse's. There also is a power distribution box in the engine compartment. 
Typically the wiring is set up to isolate problems but at the same time its not perfect. Why was the resistor changed and 
what was the original problem?
