Steps
- Remove the side trim panel
Release the trim fastener near the rear compartment and remove its screw. Free the latch-hook trim, remove its bolt, and lift the lower and side panels out of the way without breaking their clips.
- Remove the rear blower motor
Remove the blower motor mounting bolts and lower the assembly. Disconnect its wiring harness before moving the motor clear of the work area.
- Replace the blower resistor
Unplug the resistor connector and remove its screws from the blower assembly. Fit the replacement resistor, secure it, and reconnect the harness until its lock engages.
- Reinstall the motor and test fan speeds
Reconnect the blower harness, position the motor, and reinstall its fasteners. Test the rear fan at each available speed before closing up the trim.
- Restore the side panels
Fit the side and lower panels back into their guides, reinstall the latch-hook bolt and trim screws, and press each clip home. Check that the trim is flush and the rear blower still operates.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
