Need to replace blower motor resister switch. Things 2 consider 1)Im female but machanical inclined. 2) live in rural area with no access to chilton manual 3) help because its damn cold here!

Step 1: Pry and remove the retaining pins (3) that secure the interior panel to the UNDERSIDE of the glove compartment area (near the PASSENGER'S feet).

Step 2: Disconnect the blower motor's wiring harness (1).

Step 3: Loosen and remove the 7/32 mounting bolts (3) that secure the blower motor to the vehicle. Pull the blower motor from the vehicle.

Step 4: Disconnect the wiring harness (1) mounted just to the LEFT of the resistor.

Step 5: Loosen and remove the 7/32 mounting bolts (3) that secure the resistor to the vehicle.

NOTE: You only need to LOOSEN the rear bolts, as the resistor will slide free without completely removing them!

Step 6: You can now slide and remove the resistor.

Step 7: Mount the new resistor by tightening the 7/32 mounting bolts (3). Connect the wiring harness (1).

Step 8: Reattach the blower motor by tightening the 7/32 mounting bolts (3).

Step 9: Connect the blower motor's wiring harness (1).

Step 10: Re-engage the retaining pins (3) to secure the interior panel to the UNDERSIDE of the glove compartment area.

Hi Judy, Im AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair

Judy, usually I don't answer the type questions without knowing the year, make, model and engine size so I can help someone properly. BUT, If your having problems with the blower motor not working for the A/C system then I'll give it a shot.

Judy, I can tell you this, most of the time when this happens and you have NO air flow, it usually is one of three things. The most likely first. (1) The "BLOWER RESISTER" which on most vehicles is located behind the glove box, mounted straight into the A/C Housing OR it could be mounted under the A/C Housing straight up from the floor board. (2) The Blower Motor is BAD and blowing the 30 amp fuse in the fuse block. (3) The blower switch itself is bad ALTHOUGH this very seldom happens. The blower resister is the most common and is where I would start as a technician.

Hope this helps and should you need further assistance please visit my auto-repair website here: http://www.bigasautorepair.com/

Under dash on passenger side is Blower Motor Resistor "wire harness plug" which is shorting. it's loose or was previously arcing and burnt up a little from heat. You can reshape the female pins to make the needle pins insert more tight. Or you should replace the Blower Motor Resistor harness if it's too far gone. ( it clips apart, usually a white plug just underneath glove box location. Sometimes is damaged by passengers feet. Your speed 1 thru 3 is resisted. Fan speed # 4 is max voltage and does not use the Resistor. I assume the resistor is shot ( located inside the clip coming from blower motor) or else there is a short on 1 of the wires female to male pins.

Could be 2 things,the blower motor resister or the switch,here's a link to the resister,it's located by blower.Here's another link to where the blower motor is.Here's a link on how to remove control panel.

Could be 2 things,the switch or the blower motor resister,the resister is located next to blower motor on passenger side,here is the resister.Here's the switch .

You might find a Haynes or Chiltons manual at a good public library. I just bought one online but it has taken a week to arrive. I live in a rural area so that is my best option.

It appears there is a resistor block there, either at blower connection area, or at firewall area on passenger side under cowl somewhere. It is quite common for blower to only work on high when resistor goes. Look for block, or base, 1-1/2" x 3" approx. with electrical connector to it.

blower resister... as in heater fan ?... if that's what you mean ... look in the duct work near the fan ... you will see a connector going into the side of the duct work and two or three bolts.... remove them and that is the resistor block

dash yes book time is 6.5 hours..ouch... check blower motor resistor first..and blower relay... the usual suspects here
