Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the blower motor resistor on this 1998 Honda Civic. It's the same for any 1992 to 2000 Civic. Basically, you'll know when your resistor is going when you lose fan speeds. For example, your fan works on speed one and speed four, but not two or three; that's basically the symptom of a bad resistor. The items you'll need for this include a new blower motor resistor from 1AAuto.com and a short Phillips screwdriver.

Open up the glove box, push in both sides, and just pull it down. Behind here is your blower motor resistor. Push in on the tab on the harness and pull it up and off. Then remove these two Phillips screws. We'll just fast-forward as Don does this. The resistor lifts right up and out.

On the right is the old blower motor resistor; on the left is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll mount exactly the same. Put your new blower motor resistor down into place, and replace those two Phillips screws. It's easier to just twist them in by hand until they're lower so you can fit the screwdriver in there and then just tighten them up. Now, reconnect your harness, push in the sides on your glove box, and you're all set.
