Fan resistor replacement

This only applies to cars with the manual climate control.
On the left you see the new and improved fan resistor (on the right the old one):


The heater fan is located in the passenger footwell:


Remove the carpeted panel under the passenger side dash, held in place with 2 Christmas tree type holders
Remove the light fixture from the panel and set aside

Here you can see the fan:




The resistor is between the fan and the firewall.
After removing the fan you will se the resistor:


With the seat all the way back look up under the dash in front of the fan you should see a small screw 7/32” there are 2 more closer to the floor carpet.
Remove the screw closest to the fan and loosen but do not remove the 2 closest to the floor carpet. If you can’t get a wrench on the back 2 screws you may want to try and break the old resistor out just be careful, and then you will have more access to the back 2 screws.
Place the new resistor in place using the back 2 screws as a guide, tighten the front screw, the front screw alone is good enough to hold it in place.
Reattach the 2 wire connectors

This is the part you need to replace. The # is 15304891 or 89018501 and costs about $34.- .
