The blower motor is the only load on the resister. Make sure none of the connectors have overheated and caused discoloration in the plastic or the terminal. That will cause high resistance. Other than that. it has to be the quality of the parts, either one of them.

Make sure these resisters are actually burnt out and it is not just the connector.

It is always the same discolor on one of the connectors on the resistor. Any ideas on what brand or part numbers on blower motors and resistors that would be the better quality part to buy ?

Everything will be Chinese made except factory Mopar parts.
You need to replace any burnt connectors.
