Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part 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 2006 Cadillac CTS. It's the same part and similar process on the CTS from 2003 to 2010. The items you'll need for this is new blower motor resistor from 1AAuto.com and a 7 millimeter socket and ratchet and a Phillips screwdriver.
Underneath your glove box are two 7mm bolts. We'll fast-forward as we do that. Now, near the front of the trim piece there's two Phillips screws. Go ahead and remove those. Once that's completed, pull down on the trim piece to access the blower motor.
To remove the resistor, push the tab on the bottom of this harness and then just pull it free. Holding the blower motor resistor is a small Phillips screw. Remove that. Once you remove the screws, it pulls right out.
Reinstall is just a reverse of the procedure. Feed your blower motor resistor back into place. Then, tighten that small Phillips screw by hand and reconnect the wiring harness. Push the trim piece back up into place. To resecure it, tighten those two Phillips screws and the two 7mm bolts. Be careful not to over-tighten them. You don't want to strip out the plastic.
