205 Heater Blower Resistor

[Nithy 0]

Hi guys

 

I replaced the Heater Blower resistor with a new one recently. Mine is a 1988 205, the heater controls are the slider type. After testing it, it all worked I didn't put the resistor into the holder was going to do that in the morning. Left it plugged in, slide control was off, blower was not working, car was off, next day I came put the resistor in its holder under the dash and it was HOT, as if its been working even with the car switched off.

 

Is this normal? or am I looking some other issue?

 

Thanks
