Blower Motor Resistor: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.
WARNING:
The blower motor resistor may get very hot during normal operation. If the blower motor was turned on prior to servicing the blower motor resistor, wait five minutes to allow the resistor to cool before performing diagnosis or service. Failure to take this precaution can result in personal injury.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
- Remove the silencer panel from right side of the instrument panel (Refer to BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/RIGHT IP SILENCER PANEL - REMOVAL) .
- Disconnect the wire harness connector from the blower motor resistor located on the bottom of the HVAC housing. See Fig 1.
- Remove the two screws that secure the blower motor resistor to the HVAC housing and remove the resistor.
