Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

The blower motor resister is here under the dash. Actually, you can just see it, just make out the outline of this white and aluminum looking piece. It's got this little plastic protector so the passenger doesn't kick it. Behind it is the electrical connector. This is the harness it, pull the harness down a little bit. Actually, it might even be easier, we're going to unscrew it, there's two Phillip's head screws. We'll pull the resistor out and then unplug it. You're going to need a stubby Phillip's head screwdriver. This aren't very long. Pull it out. Grab the other one. The resistor will come out of the air box. I got to unplug it.

To reinstall it, leave it unplugged for now. Slide it up in here. There's an alignment tab, and there's a tab in the blower motor box that it has to line up with, so it goes to the front of the car. Slide it up into place. It'll kind of stay in place. The seal will hold it. Take our Phillip's head screws, reinstall them. An electrical connector, plug it back in. Put the harness back up in there. Blower motor resister is replaced.
