============================

Yes, perform a resistance test on it. There will be three resistors,
probably, and the readings will be something like 3 Ohms, 8 Ohms, and 12
Ohms, or something like that. I don't have a schematic for a Civic, but
you just slip it our and look closely . . You'll probably see the
problem. Check that there isn't crud blocking the air from cooling it,
or corroded terminals inside the connector you have to slip off. Plastic
windshield cowl might be leaking water into resistor pack and corroding
it. 1st gen CR-v does that.
