Heater fan resistor

[npdw]

Hi all. My fan from the heater box had only 2 settings while Turing the knob from mode 0(=off) to mode 3(=full speed). It went from full speed in mode 1 to lower speed in mode 2 en then back to full speed in mode 3. Then I thought let’s check the resistor board. Now I see that one of the metal horizontal flap does not connect to the pin on the left.  Is that normal or should I bent it down to make contact? I first want to see if I can make this work before buying a new one.

Resistor boards are simple and should be fixable. post better pictures because I don't see the problem from the picture you posted. The pins on the underside correspond to the different springs / fan speeds.

I tried to mark it. The blue bar is not contacting the yellow contact marked yellow. Is that correct?

I don't think it should touch. The electricity should travel through the spring. If you touch that blue bar to the rivet you will be bypassing the spring. I think that is a heat shield protecting the PCB from the heat of the spring.
