\n\n\n\n1. Locate the Blower Motor Resistor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Obviously, the first thing that you have to do is to determine the location of the blower motor resistor so that you know which component will be removed. It is located right next to the blower motor. The latter, on the other hand, can be commonly found underneath the dash on the passenger side or in the engine compartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n2. Take out the Blower Motor Resistor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now that you know the location of the blower motor resistor, remove it. You will need to first remove the components around the blower motor resistor, which include the pigtail connected to the AC and the blower motor cooling duct. At this point, you can now have easy access to the blower motor resistor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, all that you have to do is to unscrew the bolts that secure the blower motor resistor in place. Use a ratchet with a short extension. Once the bolts are out, all that you have to do is to pull the blower motor resistor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n3. Disconnect the Wires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After pulling the blower motor resistor, you have to cut off the wires that are connected to the component. Cut the wires using the stripper or scissors that are made specifically to cut through wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n4. Install the New Blower Resistor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Before you proceed with the installation, apply dielectric grease to the housing of the blower motor resistor. This will prevent water from getting inside, which is a common problem when you are off-road driving<\/a>. Apply coating around the plastic, which will provide a sort of sealing to protect the component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place the blower motor resistor in the exact same place where it was removed earlier. Use new screws to have it secured in its position. Connect the pigtail, and at this point, you are done with the job. However, there are also some instances wherein the pigtail has already worn out. If this is the case, proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n5. Wire the Pigtail<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cut down the old wires and connect the new ones. This should be easy, as the wires are probably color-coded. Use the connectors to connect the new wires. Put the pigtail in its original position, and at this point, you are already done with the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
