Blower Motor Resistor Block: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Viper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The blower motor resistor is mounted to the bottom of the HVAC housing, near the blower motor. The blower motor resistor consists of a molded plastic mounting plate with an integral wire connector receptacle. Concealed behind the mounting plate are coiled resistor wires contained within a ceramic heat sink. See Fig 1.

The blower motor resistor is accessed for service from under the instrument panel.
