Blower Motor Resistor: Service and Repair
Removal
REMOVAL
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or
service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the
proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: The blower motor resistor may get very hot during normal operation. If the blower motor was turned on prior to servicing the
blower motor resistor, wait five minutes to allow the blower motor resistor to cool before performing diagnosis or service. Failure
to take this precaution can result in possible injury.
CAUTION: Do not operate the blower motor with the blower motor resistor removed from the circuit. Failure to take this precaution can
result in vehicle damage.
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the glove box from the instrument panel, See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Glove Compartment/Service and
Repair/Instrument Panel Glove Box - Removal.
3. Disconnect the wire harness connector (4) from the blower motor resistor (2).
4. Remove the two screws (1) that secure the blower motor resistor to the HVAC housing (3) and remove the resistor.
