Tools you will need

Steps
- Lower the glove box
Open the glove box and press its sides inward to clear the stops. Lower it out of the way to reach the blower resistor and its electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and remove the resistor
Release both wiring harness locks and unplug the connectors. Loosen the two 8mm retaining bolts and withdraw the resistor from its opening.
- Install the replacement resistor
Insert the new resistor in the same orientation and align its mounting points. Reinstall the two bolts snugly, then reconnect both harnesses until their locks engage.
- Close the glove box and test
Raise the glove box and press its sides inward to return it past the stops. Operate the blower through its speeds and confirm the repaired settings work.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
