I need help locating resistor on blower motor... I have pulled the glove box, both panels above the feet area and can't find it anywhere... 02 GP with dual heater controls... Someone's got to know where it is!!! :confused:
Unless NAPA gave me the wrong part I don't see it!
 


Oh yeah, it's a pain in the a$$. Follow the wire located at the back of the blower.fan motor. It's on the main back where the floor board and firewall meet. It's really tight. I think it's a 7mm or 8mm socket. Just take your time and a deep breath, count to 10 every time you get pissed off. There are 2 screws that hold it in. Good luck.

Holy crap!!! :eek: You ain't kidding on the tight fit. There are 2 screws on the back side up next to the firewall and one of the cab facing side. Me and the wife have been working on it and had to take a break... I can't get my fat fingers up in there. :th_angry-pissed:
You need to cut some of the sound deaden-er away to get to the screws. What a :th_angry-censored: poor design.
 
I've done two of these and I agree, they are a PITA! I found it easiest to use a 1/4" drive ratchet and press it hard into the floor padding to get it to line up straight on the small bolt. I even considered pulling the front seat out just so I didn't have to lay upside down with my back over the door sill.
 


^^ yes, the 1/4 ratchet helps, i have a "request" to do another one for a friend and am going to buy a 1/4 swivel to put between the socket and socket extension, hope it helps!!

:th_scratchhead:
 
The tool I used to get at the back screws is a flexible shaft 1/4" drive screwdriver. You know, the kind that looks like a screwdriver with a 1/4" drive on the end, but the shaft is a flexible one that can bend. Very handy for those tight spots.
 
^ get one of those. Loosen the two screws you can see then just pull it out. You do not need to loosen all three. Then before you put the new one in you just loosen the third one up so it can slide under it.
