Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the battery negative cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
- Remove the right side instrument panel insulator. Refer to Instrument Panel Insulator Panel Replacement - Right Side in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
- Disconnect the electrical connectors from the blower motor resistor.
- Disconnect the blower motor resistor electrical connector from the blower motor.
- Loosen, do not remove, both forward bolts.
- Remove the rearward bolt.
- Remove the blower motor resistor.
The blower motor resistor opening is slotted as access is extremely limited.
Installation Procedure
- Install the blower motor resistor.
- Install the blower motor resistor rearward bolt.
- Install both blower motor resistor forward bolts.
- Connect the electrical connector to the blower motor.
- Connect the electrical connector to the blower motor resistor.
- Install the right side instrument panel insulator. Refer to Instrument Panel Insulator Panel Replacement - Right Side in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
- Connect the battery negative cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the blower motor resistor rearward bolt to 1.5 N·m
(13 lb in).
Tighten
Tighten the blower motor resistor forward bolts to 1.5 N·m
(13 lb in).
