Underneath your glove box, you'll see this foam panel. Just pull it down and around that clip. Then, push the tabs on either side of this harness and just pull it free. Then remove this 6mm bolt right here and this 6mm bolt right here. We'll just fast forward as Don does that. Now the resistor will just pull down and out.
On the left is the old blower motor resistor. On the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Now just remove this clip with a flat blade screwdriver and transfer it over to your new blower motor resistor. Now push the resistor back up into place and replace those two 6mm bolts. Reconnect the harness and then just push this foam back up and over that clip. Then just pop it in and you're all set.
